White water and Zipline family adventure

5.00Fun and adventurous family trip! Our guide for rafting, Shoestring, and his partner Siggie navigated the river as experts. We were complete novices and had a blast! The clifside zip lining was led by Tim and Jesse. They put our safety first and then made sure everyone was having a great time. Lots of memories made on our trip.
Amazing Adventure!

5.00We took our family of 7, ranging in ages from 10-47 on the 6-line zipline tour today with Kale and Tim, and it was GREAT! They were excellent guides, focused on safety and coaching us to be safe while making it fun at the same time! They truly were amazing! Our entire group had a great time and would highly recommend going with Ava and Tim and Kale!
Excellent Guide's at AVA!

5.00Tim and Joh made our experience safe and very fun. Both guys are awesome at what they do! We will be back! We rafted with Enrique and he was awesome. The lessons he gave us before we got in the water helped us immensely once we got in the river. He made our experience very fun as well!
Best experience!!!!

5.00What a fun time! Tim and Connor were amazing zipline guides and were great with our young child. The course itself is very unique - along the mountainside and a variety of lines. Our kids loved racing on the dual one. White water rafting with Rage was fantastic - the views were incredible and we got some action with the rapids without it being overwhelming since it was our first time. Highly recommend going with AVA for your outings!

I got ripped off

1.00The experience was great but be careful I got ripped off by the company: I was quoted a fixed price for 2 events and 2 weeks after I paid for the fixed and agreed by contract price I was asked to pay double what I was quoted and they debited my credit card without talking to me ! I am appalled by this behaviour and no one would call to explain. Do not leave your credit card details to these guys as they will just take your money without asking you!
Great guides and a great time.
