Great guide and not too strenuous for seniors. Even though I didn’t jump enjoyed watching others jump off the ten and twenty-five foot cliffs.
Best adventure with small kids!

We had great experience with this family owned company. Our guide Dex was super sweet and knowlegable about the river amd history. Family of 5 adults and two children (6 & 8), class I and II, did not want a scary whitewater adreniline trip with small childrens first experience. We had an adventureous cliff jumps and some swimming. Great time!

We had a family reunion group of 17 and, with the varying ages and comfort levels for adventure, we were a little worried-but we shouldn’t have been! The guides and the scenery were fantastic, and we had a truly memorable experience.
Enjoyable half day trip in the Colorado River.

I am beyond grateful for the unforgettable adventure we shared today on the Colorado River. As a couple in our 50s, my husband and I approached this experience with both excitement and a fair bit of apprehension. Rafting has long been a dream of mine, but the stars never quite aligned—between life’s responsibilities and health concerns, it always felt just out of reach. Today, that changed. Though I had my fears—about my health, about being a burden, about whether I even belonged on that boat—those worries were gently swept away by the kindness and professionalism of our incredible guide, Johnny. From the moment we met him, his warmth and spirit set the tone for something truly special. He helped me in and out of the raft with such genuine care, always attentive and encouraging, never making me feel like anything less than a valued part of the group. Johnny wasn’t just a guide—he was a joy. His knowledge, humor, and heart elevated our day from a simple trip to a memory we’ll cherish always. In all my years of travel, I can count on one hand the guides who’ve made such an impression—and he stands proudly among them. To the team behind the scenes, from the office staff to the other guides we briefly encountered: thank you. Your excellence shines through in every detail. This was more than an outdoor excursion—it was a gift. And I carry it forward with deep appreciation.
Great experience for first time rafters

We had a great time on the raft trip. One of the reasons it was so good was our guide. Johnny is so knowledgeable and so much fun. We want to go again next year and will request Johnny as our guide. We highly recommend this trip and promise you won’t be disappointed.
Best day of our vacation!
