And
we can run a trip on any other requested dates apart from these
as soon as anyone is able to confirm 4 people travelling, then we
especially promote that date?
So set departure dates are regardless of numbers and if we get to 20 pax we will close these dates, lets publish these on the websites, thanks.
These dates are in line with the low water season. These dates are traditionally from mid July until mid January, and only change due to exceptional circumstances such as the last season where the river was closed for 3 months!!! Normally it is a maximum of 1 month.
