Top Middle East & Africa Rafting

"Manno and his team are wonderful! The trip started off with us getting picked up and shuttled to Zambia from Zimbabwe (MAKE SURE TO BRING $30 CASH PER PERSON FOR THE VISA FEE IF YOU TRAVEL THE BOARDER - learn from our mistakes!) and meeting up with Manno for the drive out to the rapids. After an African Massage of a ride, we got out and hiked down to the bottom of the gorge to jump in. Manno’s team set up the raft and after some quick instructions, we hopped in and off we went. The views were beautiful, the rapids were awesome and the water (yes we got to swim in the Zambezi) was warm. It was a pretty long and exciting rafting experience that is totally worth it if you have time outside of seeing the falls. The pictures from the camera man were amazing, and the lunch that was provided was only outdone by the view where we ate. I would say that the hikes down and up the gorge aren't a walk in the park, so be ready for them. Bring comfortable hiking shoes, as they store them for you so they won’t get wet on the river. This particular rafting is the only one that is locally ran, so if you’re going to choose a rafting experience, MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE THIS ONE!!!"

"The team were great , from safety briefs too assisting rafting down river , enjoyed whole experience, lunch provided was great certainly loved after walking up mountain at end of rafting"

"The Dolphin house trip was amazing, the boat was very accommodating it had drinks and the food was very good. The crew was very friendly and welcoming they also took safety very seriously. If you ever visit Hurghada Egypt I highly recommend to do this experience you won't regret it the paradise travel trem is just excellent"

"Had a very good experience. The view was amazing. The guide Nathan was really good. Great communication. Would definitely recommend this activity."

"The long second dive was particularly memorable. So good to see all the precious biodiversity, and the team were both very professional and great fun!"

"Awesome trip the river is so much fun for kids and adults and feels safe yet scary in parts (in a good way). The hike up the mountain after is no joke it’s long and strenuous and very steep, but the guides walk with you and help you as you take your time. The lunch once on top is very delicious!"

"Would definitely recommend. We booked very last minute so really appreciated that our booking was taken. Timely pickup from our hotel in the morning where we were brought to the marina, and right on to the boat. Only one other couple were with us, as well as a photographer on hand to capture the moments (with extra cost). Would definitely recommend - great way to see Hurghada, and a nice bit of adrenaline first thing in the morning!"

"The whole trip was well organized, pick up time was as planned and the snorkeling manager Safwan and his team were very helpful. As a person who can’t swim, it was also very adventurous for me. They were patient with me and assisted me in every way. It’s was a fun filled adventure with music and interesting people. The next time I’m in Hurghada, I’ll definitely request his crew again. For anyone planning to visit Hurghada, book with Sunshine tours and I’d also recommend Safwan and his crew."

"Very nice excursion. Pick up at our hotel was on time. We had a lot of fun with the crew on the boat. The boat was nice and clean. You can relax on the sundeck, but you also find places with shadow. The staff on the boat was friendly and welcoming. Also 2 Photographers were on board. You can buy your photos and videos. We were surprised because we had our own personal guide from Travel Tours who was caring for us all the time. Many thanks to our guide Mo. He did an excellent job and he was very good to our little son. The food on the boat was delicious. Paradise Island is nice, you can find many photo motives, but there were many people. The time we could spend on the island was a little bit short, less than 2 hours. This could be longer to enjoy this place. The 2 Snorkeling stops were nice. But we didn't like to swim very close to the other guests in group. Banana and sofa boat was funny. All in all we had a very good day and we enjoyed it a lot. We recommend to book this trip. :)"

"Amazing experience with a very nice crew. I recommend if you want to discover the Red Sea wonders !!"

"Me and my wife booked this experience for our last day in El Gouna. We booked it very last minute but they were able to accommodate and send us a transfer. Our tour guide Kotta was extremely helpful and checked up on us every step of the way, as well as Ahmed one of the coordinators. Captain Ussam was also extremely helpful and made the trip exciting. The whole crew was hilarious and made sure we had a good time, making us all laugh and made us feel like family. The food was amazing, traditional Egyptian food and drinks were always provided. Orange Bay was a good time and the snorkelling was a once in a lifetime experience. We even got a chance to see a dolphin! I didn’t ride the sofa boat but it looked really fun! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it!"

"It was very nice experience. Polite, funny crew. You see a little of Hurghada from the sky. Recommend."

"I booked with Paradise Tours, and I had an amazing time! The whole crew on the boat - Ali, Abdou, Nimo, Mody everyone.. they made the whole trip fantastic. From the diving and snorkelling sessions to taking us to paradise island. It was simply fantastic. I would def recommend this as a day trip and to book with paradise tours - if you’re lucky enough to get the Butin boat, you’re in for a great day!"

"Really fun experience! Best part was I had the jet ski to myself for the entire time. The jet ski's looked relatively new, went really fast & were a lot of fun. The tour guide took photos & videos for us. Highly recommend!"

"This was an excellent tour. Our driver and guide were on time, very informed and were extremely helpful with photographs. They gave excellent tips and suggestions. We highly recommend this service. It was first class."
