What the day feels like
How the three days feel
The trip unfolds like a slow-motion adventure: a morning check-in and packing of a large expedition dry bag, a thorough safety briefing and gear fit, then a day on the river — rapids, riverside lunch and play — while a gear boat runs ahead to set camp; evenings are for shared meals, games and stargazing before another day on the river.
