Fantastic trip. It’s going to be in the upper 60s. Make sure you dress warmly just in case the wind is blowing. Our guides Jackson and Jess were wonderful. We had a great time.!

We had an incredible time on our white water rafting trip! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking! What really made the experience memorable, though, was our guide, Ethan. He was knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about what he does. Definitely a five-star guide who made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. The rafting itself was exciting without being too intense, just the right balance for families or first-timers looking for fun without the adrenaline overload. The only small downside was the wait for the shuttle bus afterward, but that was due to traffic and out of the company’s control. All in all, we had a fantastic day on the river and would absolutely recommend this trip to others looking for a scenic and family-friendly adventure!
First time white water river rafting excellence ..!

Very fun and doable, little kids were in our boat ( ages 7-11 ) and everyone had a really great time… I plan on doing this again but going up one on the difficulty level… Our instructor James was top tier and showed us all the fancy moves and was in control 100% of the time… James rocked and was pretty funny..!
Let's go again!

It was a little cold because we went early in the morning. But it was a great experience and the guide Wes was a great guide and very informative of the area.

Mike was our river guide and he was very knowledgeable and kind! Had good pointers and I felt very safe with my 10year old and 16year old on board. I will be asking for him next visit if he’s still there. Shelby was another guide that was really helpful in the setup part of the trip, she even let us borrow some of the shoes left my other rafters. Which was really nice bc we didn’t have the proper foot protection and I didn’t want to have to buy shoes ide not use again. So we bought shirts and sweaters instead! All in all such a good ride and we will absolutely be back.
A Blast! Do it!

Our guide Scooter, was the absolute best! He is very skilled and knowledgeable, took great care of each and every member in our team, and has a great personality and is funny! The river was high leading to a fun ride, and the entire staff, including the front desk, and Ania, were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!
