Brilliant, 2 hours of pure fun... A must do! be prepared to get wet and dirty. You can take it at your own pace and the guide will give you instructions and what to expect. But watch for those funny hand signals!!

It was good experience to get stuck in the mud and slush and come out of it. The guide was rude to say the least.. There are better options in queenstown
