October has been and gone  so we thought it was time to share  what some of the punters have said about their rafting adventure down the mighty Rangitata River.  (if you don’t read them all make sure you check out the last crazy one)

• “Lots of great fun and plenty of adrenaline! Wicked sweet BBQ afterwards!  Awesome trip overall” 
• “Our guide was friendly & very competent. We were given enough time to be familiar with the basic skills.  The experience was totally exciting and fun”
• “An absolute credit to New Zealand, friendly, fun and fantastic”
• “Just loved the nasal flush!”                                          
•  ”Rapids were crazy! Jumps were cool, really excellent”
• “Don’t think cold, freezing – think invigorating!”  
•  ”Beautiful surroundings, great staff and awesome rafting! Great day and great food!”
• “You might get wet!!!” (now that is a very truthful comment)
• “A shame AWESOME is an over-used word….. awesome staff, awesome time and awesome food!”
• “Extremely well organised, confident and knowledgeable staff, excellent progression of rapids.”  (Hmm, I bet those guide’s mothers are pleased to hear such rave reviews about their boys!)

And I have left the best and the longest for last;

“A true testament to Kiwi hospitality and adventure! WE had the best time ever, great guides, river, photos and chowtastic BBQ and we think …

• the potatoes were lush
• and the showers are heavenly
• and the guides haristyles are inspirational
• and the fire is hot
• and there are free brews
• and the sofas are incredible
• and my bed is so snuggle and far enough away from the smelly boys
• and I liked the stripey polypro tops
• and the grass was cut so nicely
• and the photos on the walls are fab
• and everyone has been sooper welcoming – the best in NZ!”

They were taken from the Oct surveys – next time I will hunt out some comments from the visitors books which can always be entertaining!
