5.00The Wilderness trip was so much fun! The staff made even the instructions and safety talk interesting to listen to. Our raft guide, Tupelo, worked hard while we enjoyed the ride down the river. Tupelo spotted a moose and her baby - so that made the trip extra exciting! Would 100% recommend.

5.00Good trip. Guide was great. Just make sure you book the correct trip. There are two routes, the very moderate float called wilderness wave and the more adventurous canyon wave.

5.00Instructions for using equipment very good & entertaining. Trip was beautiful, staff was very helpful & efficient. It was just exciting enough for beginners but fun for experienced friends. It would have been helpful to have a little more information about wetsuits ahead of time and how to dress for the cold. We all got cold feet. But great experience. DO IT!!!
Awesome rafting with Bo
