Marine Drive Rafting Reviews
Satya Smruti Mohanty: Rafting Guide explained the risks and gave detailed instructions for a risk free and enjoyable rafting experience. We also noticed that eUttaranchal was the only operators who provided extra kayak for abundant precaution and safety. We had an absolute blast in the river and would highly recommend euttaranchal.
Anubha Goel: I booked rafting from Delhi. Booking process is easy and safe through eUttaranchal. Service is prompt and courteous. Our Rafting guide Ajay Rawat was knowledgeable, friendly, witty and fun to be with throughout the expedition. While keeping us comfortable through his light-hearted banter, he always appeared in control of our safety. Felt absolutely safe and enjoyed the ride immensely. Strongly recommended.
Mohit Singh: Amazing experience. The guide was experienced, funny and gave us 3 opportunities to jump into water during the rafting. The rafting breifing was excellent which made us very comfortable.
