Shaka Rafting on Rio Pastaza, Ecuador

Shaka Rafting on Rio Pastaza, Ecuador

Class 2-3 rapids with our guide Toby who insisted on lingering in every sinkhole and steering us into the whitest water (bless his heart).
Toby also coached us through a team-building exercise where we abandoned our seats and paddles to stand on the edges of the raft while holding hands, leaning backwards and rocking the raft through some rapids (what a jackass!).
