Had a lot of fun! Great 1st time experience. Tristan our raft guide and his team were great. My family had so much fun! Would love to do rafting again! Emily and cooper at the Zipline did a great job! The lines were nice and a few very fast! views were great. Definitely both companies kept you safe and also had great conversation.

This was so much fun! Zip Lining in the morning and rafting in the afternoon. Our guides for zip Lining were Jacob and Chad. For rafting we had Shea. They could not have been better and were so much fun. We felt safe in their abilities and explained instructions clearly. A spectacular day and worth every penny. Thank you!

Great combo package - half day raft plus 6 ziplines for my son. The biplane place has a shaded rooftop patio with couches where parents can unwind after rafting while their kids zip!

I made several calls to Mountain Waters Rafting & Adventure Company prior to booking our activities and had a positive experience each time. The staff were knowledgeable, patient and professional. I really appreciated being able to get a discount on a second activity AND split the activities between 2 separate days. With a large group of people between the ages of 9 to 88 years old, we definitely needed the flexibility! We ended up booking the rafting and zip lining tours. The water level was low in late July but our guide still made it a fun trip. Zip lining was fantastic - guides were energetic, engaged and the spans were longer/faster on the second half (12 spans). Both of these activities were enjoyed by the young and old, thanks to the staff and their experiences!

Our tour guide, Spicy Mike, made this adventure so much more enjoyable. We were able to go down the big rapids not once but twice, and we even swam in the river. It started to down pour at the last twenty min of the trip and my daughter was freezing in just her swim suit and PFD Mike offered her his wool sweater and it was much appreciated. The history of different sites like a bridge were highlights as well. Highly recommend this company if choosing to go rafting in the future. Worth every dollar!!!!

Our guides were very aware of our safety. They explained every line before we zipped down it, which made me more comfortable. The last decision is jump or zip. I chose to jump off the edge, laughed all the way down. Thank you for a fun multi line zip experience. This was the best zip set up I have been on.

We had read about Atlas the rafting Akita from other reviews so we booked our trip. We requested Atlas at the time we booked our trip and when we arrived he was waiting for us. My family truly enjoyed rafting with Atlas and our guide Beau who did a great job. As we rafted down the river Beau provided us with lots of great information on the area. We also booked the zip line package which was a great time.
