Henry was our guide and was friendly and knowledgeable. We had so much fun and we all will be doing it again, but leveling up to intermediate.

Highly recommend!!

Great experience, can't wait to do it again! Highly recommend this company and their guides. Thank you!

Family Fun!

Pepe_F, Aug 2023

We had the absolute best time as a family on this rafting trip. The guides were great and kept everyone safe. We went for my mom's 70th birthday so we had people ages 11-72 and it was the perfect fit for everyone. A touch of excitement with a few of the rapids, but also some slower spots to just enjoy the views. Everything was well-organized and coordinated. Thanks for a fabulous time!

Awesome!

Such an awesome and fun time. We had an 8, 13, and 15 year old with 3 adults. Kurt was amazing and made it even more fun! Drops were not steep at all and appropriate for the 8 year old. Highly recommend this!

Our guide Russell did a great job! He spoke about the surroundings, very friendly, and was patient with us as being beginning rafters. Luke, the troop leader, was super funny which helped ease the anxieties. It was an amazing tour!! Best yet ever!

Great addition to our 30 yr anniversary trip

Dennis_O, Jul 2023

I planned this for me and my wife as a little adventure for our 30yr wedding anniversary. I chose the milder beginner trip for her, and she loved it! I would pick the intermediate for the next go around, but we had a very good time. Our guide was energetic and provided our rafting group with some great tidbits about the local area as well.
