River conditions are assessed before departure, and the route or trip schedule may be changed when water levels, weather, or other conditions require it.

The most suitable period is generally during the more stable river and weather seasons, particularly autumn through spring, but the actual operating season depends on current water levels and safety conditions. Always confirm river conditions before booking.
