We love the fact that Wiley was safety forward. Yet did not come off as a bore. We felt safe and comfortable the whole trip. Only downside is our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing. We had an absolute blast! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

My husband, sister, her husband and I had a great time during our boat ride. I’m not a speed or thrill ride junkie, and this trip was just perfect for me. High speeds and some fun turns but always felt in control. My sister did get some motion sickness so we stopped the turns and just enjoyed the boat ride. The info about the dam and the converging rivers was very interesting. I love the pictures and the videos taken. This was a nice extra touch to allow us to just sit back to enjoy the ride.
Don’t do it

What a fun experience! We did the 15 mile ride. Wiley was professional, safe, and informative. We all enjoyed the ride. It was scenic and we had a blast with the whoop-di-doo turns. Wiley let us know when to expect them, which was helpful. The pictures and video are great mementos to have. Would definitely recommend!
Old farts enjoyed it!
