5.0010/10 for my family! Our 9yr old girl plus had a non-stop smile on her face. The guides (Wyatt and Phoenix) were interactive and friendly - from the safety briefing through our entire trip. They were kind, funny, and so encouraging giving us opportunities to try different things in the raft and in the river. We would highly recommend Journey Quest! We can't wait to come back. <3

5.00We had an amazing first family rafting experience with Journey Quest! We were so lucky to have Mark, the owner, as our guide and he was fantastic. He made us feel safe, taught us the basics of rafting, took us through some really fun rapids and educated us about our route. He was fun, funny and so relatable. We had a blast and will definitely go back!
Awesome
