Overview
Fish therapy is the lightest moment of the trip, and most people end up laughing. You sit at the water's edge, lower your feet into the river and wait. Within seconds small fish gather and start to nibble the dead skin from your feet, a fluttering, ticklish feeling that is hard to take seriously.
What to expect
Roll up your trousers, sit comfortably and put your feet in. The first few seconds are usually the funniest, because almost everyone squirms. After a minute or two the sensation settles into something oddly relaxing, while friends and family take photos and compare reactions.
It is entirely optional. Plenty of guests enjoy it just by watching.
Who should skip it
Do not try fish therapy if you have cuts, sores, an infection or any skin condition on your feet. Supervise children, since very young ones may find the feeling too strong. If you have any health concern, ask your rider or a doctor first.

Tip: take off rings and bracelets, and hand your phone to a friend or keep it in a dry bag before your feet go in. Wear clothes you can roll above the knee, and bring a small towel.
