Experienced and knowledgeable guide with a lot of jokes. He made the trip very welcoming and enjoyable
Would recommend kayaking and seeing the waterfalls but not with this company!

The location listed for us to meet at was the business location and when we got there the guide said she didn't have space in her vehicle for us to ride over (the 4 of us were the only ones there) so we had to take another Lift ride over to the marina. She said that it said in the directions to meet at the marina, but I looked again and didn't find anywhere stating that. The scenery was breathtaking up the river! The hike was not your normal hike. You will be crossing a fast current river. Water shoes highly recommend. I enjoyed the kayaking and hike but our guide wasn't very good. She hiked at a swift pace and didn't give us any time to stop and take pictures along the way. She had her spots that she took our pictures at and sent to us afterwards. Guests were trying to get pictures on the hike and were very frustrated. On the way back she made us feel very rushed! Also be prepared to unload all the kayaks and equipment off from the trailer. If you are expecting any help from the tour company this is not the tour you want. I have done many kayaking and rafting tours and this was the worst one by far. I would recommend the kayaking and hike to the waterfalls but not this tour company!

The kayak and hike are unbelievable! Our guide was hilarious and kept us all moving forward at a good clip. We took the 7 AM departure, we were the first ones to the fall and it was a very good idea, because there are quite a few people when we were on our way out That we’re just arriving. I highly recommend this adventure.
Such a great time with...

Such a great time with our guide Zach! He did wonderful making sure everyone in the group was safe kayaking and knew what we were doing. We also loved the corny jokes. “What do you call a dog with no legs? It doesn’t matter, it’s not going to come anyway.” Thanks for a great trip Zach!
