We were taken by Helicopter to land at the bottom of the canyon.Wow what a flight, great views. Next a 15 mins trip on a small boat on the river. Flown back to... More

We are a family of 4 from Australia and we had the most amazing time on this trip. CRATE staff were professional, friendly, knowledgable and took great care of us.

Every day seemed to bring a new adventure, a new... More
