Beautiful ride
Byron_M, Jul 2023
The scenery is beautiful. The guide was great. Rapids are mild so this would be good for beginners. But if you want a relaxing ride with some fun mixed in. Go for it.

Raft Trip
Jack_J, Jul 2023
Blue Sky is well organized and established with their rafting trips. Liked the guides, who were very personable and fun to guide the raft. However we had some unexpected standing g around time due to traffic issues and miscommunication. The raft trip itself was an easy float with a couple of small rollers but overall was an easy 2 hr float downstream.
Whitewater rafting is a must do!! Best experience!!
Jena_H, Jul 2023
Sage, our guide was amazing, knowledgeable about the history of things and great with kids! The whole trip was very well organized and the employees at Blue Sky were all so nice! Got a phone call the day before even to confirm our trip. Overall, so fun and this is a must do on all our future vacations!!
