Looking for some whitewater while avoiding white-knuckle rapids? The 3 hour Upper Half Day trip is perfect for families, first-timers who are timid, or for those who aren’t strong swimmers – especially in June when we have high water. Enjoy fun rapids such as Hilarity Hole, Screaming Left, and Killer Fang. These rapids offer plenty of splashes and relatively easy navigation without the challenge of long rapids like the Mad Mile. This trip is packed with splashes and smiles!

Thrills and near spills! Great guides make the trip even more fun. Beautiful river. Wet suits provided and recommended due to the cold water and how wet you get.

It was a lot of fun. We chose more aggressive rapids and it was perfect. Late July so rapids were rated up to 3. Advice- take the wet suit and the booties. Be prepared to row on command.

Great trip. We had many beginners and were on the 1.5 hr., medium difficulty rating. All the guides in our group were nice and made the trip fun. Cody is highly recommended. We had a blast!

It wasn’t very challenging. It was mostly stage 1 & 2. The guide was amazing and did what he could to make it fun.

Pete was our awesome boat guide but the whole staff was friendly and helpful and we had a terrific time. The scenery was breathtaking and the rapids were exciting and challenging but not overwhelming.

We booked the family friendly tour and then decided to upgrade to the more advanced tour. Our family was a hot mess and made our guide Liam really work to keep us safe and in the boat. But he did a great job. We were so thankful for his help.

Horrible experience, one of the guys was completely mean to me and my family about where our truck was parked, would not recommend this trip to anybody whatsoever. Hope the guy gets fired not friendly at all.
