Highly recommended for beginners, although a little more water in the river would have made it even more fun.

I found the tour online.
A beautiful tour on the Saalach River in Austria.
Unfortunately, the water level was at a record low.
Our guides expertly led us through the afternoon. Great guys!
Thanks for the wonderful afternoon.

It was really great. It was fun.
The only downside was the slightly low water level on the Saalach River.
