5.00Action packed and awesome for the whole family! Aiden was a great raft guide (ask him to pop a wheelie) and Jordan and Emmy were a blast on the lines. We’ll be back in a few years when our kiddos are able to level up to the next class and extreme zip lining! BIG THANKS TO AIDEN, EMMY, and JORDAN FOR A FANTASTIC DAY!
Amazing first time experience!

5.00Emmy and Jordan were an awesome way to start the day. They were willing to accommodate 3 extra people our party at the last minute! Loved their banter! Audrey and Emily were super skilled at rafting and put us to ease with in minutes of being in the boat. We even learned tricks!! Loved every minute!
Amzing trip. Highly recommend.

5.00We did the half day zip line in the morning (classic course) followed by the Big Horn rafting in the afternoon. WE HAD A BLAST!!! Whole family fun. Our 9 year old daughter was a little nervous for bith, but the guides did an AMAZING job! Our zip line guides were Zoe and Jordan. Both were amazing and made the zipling so mich fun for our girls. After the lunch, which was great, we got a personal rafting tour from Colin! No other boats on the river! Just us! Colin was so fun, so skilled at navigating the rapids, and super kind. The water was quite cold our littles starting getting shivery. Colin leant them his extra jackets and it saved their enjoyment of the river. Lastly, we got a great ride from Kylie and she took incredible photos of our trip. 5 STARS ALL AROUND!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We will definitely be back!
Fun and memorable experience

5.00Incredibly fun and unique experience. White water rafting was great with our knowledgeable guide, Audry. It was our first time, and she was incredibly patient and helpful. We surfed some rapids and had a blast with the other rafts. Jordan and Kaylee were our awesome and super funny guides for zip line. My teenage kids really enjoyed both experiences. Had lunch at the Whitewater grill on site which had tasty food and good service. Highly recommended!
So much fun!

5.00Audrey was super nice and the kids adored her. They weren't sure about the rafting experience at first, but they put them at ease and helped them to love it. She engaged in discussions on geography, and the plants and animals in the area. We got to see an osprey and some sheep. It was awesome! Jake loved the 360s most, Elijah enjoyed the feeling of safety and Jen, Andrew and Aidan Rose simply loved all of it!

5.00Emmy and Jordan are some master squirrels on the ziplines that will teach you their ways. They are big on safety, having fun, and hospitality. They even gave one of our group members the brand new boots they had so that everyone went home with all their toes. Bob even offered a second pair that might fit a little better. They also offered lots of great advice for one of our members on his next shoe purchase. As we were zipping they had a range of useful information about the area, ziplines and some jokes that ranged from mid to quite funny! The area was beautiful, trash free and provided a great view. It was a great rush and fun experience. We all felt super safe the whole time and couldnt have asked for better guides. A+
Love the adventure!!
