5.00Danny was a great guide for our family. Everyone had a great time, even our thrill-seeker youngster. Weather was perfect for a fun-filled trip down the river which was refreshing. Good mix of rapids and time to take in the scenery. Duration was perfect to interest our boys without getting too tired, though our youngest was ready to nap after we were done.

5.00First-time rafters here—6 of us—and we had the BEST time! Ryan and Kat were amazing: friendly, professional, hilarious, and made us feel completely at ease. Ryan & Kat gave clear instructions for every rapid and kept the trip full of laughs. We felt safe, had a blast, and are already planning an overnight trip next year with Ryan (sadly, it’s Kat’s last summer!). 10/10—highly recommend Wilderness Aware Rafting!
Wilderness Aware is fantastic!

5.00I highly recommend this excursion! From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with smiles and all of the necessary information to make this a great event! Ashley, was super capable and guided us down the river with expertise. She was also exceptionally kind, funny and shared tons of information about the river, rafting in general and the surrounding area. This outfit is organized, safe and loads of fun! Exhilarating!
Great trip, would recomend, will do it again!

5.00Keira J. was a great guide! Didn't wreck the raft, good tour guide, good combination of yelling to keep everyone paddling in synch when needed, but also fun when we weren't in white water.
