5.00Went on a family trip with an eight and 10 year-old. First time rafting. Nathan was very good Guide. Interesting. Very tolerant of our girls and the other couples girls. fun time rafting. Perfect for first timers. Girls enjoy swimming in the 60° water. I swam but enjoyed it a bit less. Excellent company to go with. More of a scenic view rafting tour than Whitewater rapids. But highly recommended.
Guides was great. Not enough rapid action to entertain the kids

3.00Nate our guide was great! Very knowledgeable and informative. The problem was this isn't an excursion for kids, especially if they need constant fun. There was only a few rapids that got them excited and they each lasted a couple minutes each on a 3 hour tour. This is a tour if you just want a slow relaxing drift down the river. Our kids were over it after 30 minutes.
Family friendly river trip

5.00Fantastic trip down the Colorado River. We were picked up at our motel and drove along with our guide and a driver up to the starting point of the tour. We had a great guide who told us exciting history from the area.
Amazing experience!

5.00Trevor was amazing. He kept conversations going between all of us so naturally that we felt we were friends the whole trip. The views and experience of floating down the river were memorable. The staff at the office were friendly and easy to work with. Definitely book with them!
