3.00Had a great guide, Lindsey was knowledgeable and friendly.. we arrived just after a pretty good rainstorm so the river was high.. dismounted from kayaks in waist deep water and tied off to a log.. the water was pretty murky so footing was a bit rough.. the trail is pretty good until about the last quarter mile.. lots of ankle deep mud and some pretty rocky areas.. we did this hike in the spring and it was a whole different experience… this trip after the rain is not for the faint of heart.. while I enjoyed it my wife was not so fond of it. If you go be sure to wear a solid pair of hiking shoes.
Go through an actual reputable buisness

1.00Would leave zero stars if possible. I received a call and hour and a half before the scheduled kayaking event time from the business informing me that I was scheduled for an earlier time slot (that supposedly started the same time they were calling me) when viator scheduled me for a later one. Even though I had the confirmation from the event I scheduled 2 months in advance and received multiple confirmations from viator showing my correct time, the business representative said viator scheduled it wrong and the event was full. The business said that it was viator's fault and that they have have issues before with viator, but never bothered to contact me prior to the event to confirm. Missed the trip, terrible way to do business.
Great day!
