A MUST! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00BOOK! IT! NOW!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Six Rivers Rafting exceeded our expectations. We had to rebook last minute due to a flight cancellation. They, Sarah and Pete, were very accommodating, and communicated throughout the change in schedule. They ensured we had an OUTSTANDING experience. Pete made this adventure so much fun, exciting and a beautiful memorable experience. We learned a tremendous amount about rafting with detailed instructions about rafting hand signals, active team paddling, as if we were professional ( our first time 😬) while keeping us very safe on the river. Pete told many, and we mean many, interesting stories to keep us entertained in between the rapids ( up to individuals to figure out what’s true 😉😂😂). If we could give more than 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ we would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Again will not be disappointed.

5.003 of us “up there in age” ladies went for an experience of a lifetime down the river with Elena Malee as our guide! What a knowledgeable, calm, wonderful time she gave us. Her guiding skills are superb, she knows the river and area inside out. We will remember this trip for a lifetime! Thank you Elena words can’t express your talent!

5.00Booked a trip with my 14 yo daughter. We've traveled extensively including trips to Alaska, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. She thought this was one of the top 3 things she's ever done. Our guide was absolutely top notch and I thought the trip was worth every penny.
Thrills on the River!

5.00We went on the half-day trip with our guide Pasquale. It was a blast! The Class 2 and 3 rapids were fun and exciting without being too much. We paused to float in the river — the air temp was 104 but the river completely cooled us down — or jump off rocks. Pasquale prepared us for every rapids and made it seem easy. We hated leaving! Go. You’ll be glad you did.
Magical Guided Experience

5.00We had the most wonderful river guide named Raven -- friendly, patient, knowledgeable, experienced. We felt completely safe in her hands, plus she was great with our eleven year old, giving him a turn at the oars, telling stories that engaged him (and us). She handled the white water moments expertly.
Thrill of a lifetime
