Our raft guide Veronica was a good guide and did a good job. My daughter enjoyed the trip and body surfing the rapids.

It was a great raft trip. The guide was experienced and the water level was perfect for us. It was somewhat cloudy and threatening weather. But we had sun that afternoon and everything went great.

This was the first time my family has gone rafting and they got us all hooked. The only thing that would have made it better would be more rapids.

This was a lot of fun. Rafted with my husband and 13 year old grandson. We all had a wonderful time. Berry was our tour guide and she was knowledgable and a lot of fun! We had some class 3 Rapids and we all got wet, but everyone was safe. Great fun. Would definitely do it again. We're very glad we did the four hour trip -and at 2pm as the weather was perfect. Water was cold and air was hot!
