Jake made the entire experience! He was super knowledgeable about rafting and eliminated any fear - even as we approached class 4 rapids. The scenery is amazing and the rapids from 2-4 were soooo much fun! We’d definitely do it again.
Excellent Experience

Great rapids, great guides, well organized. My husband and I had a great time doing the class 4 rapids. A few people did fall out but they were quick and efficient to get them safe and sound in a raft. They also had a quick safety talk that gives you all the info you need to have fun:) definitely recommend and can’t wait to go again!
Fun,fun, fun
