Every wave looks bigger and hits harder. It is an aggressive, team-focused run where you provide the horsepower to smash through legendary rapids like Big Kahuna and Lunch Counter.

The trip covers 8 miles of Class II and III whitewater featuring rapids such as "Lunch Counter" and "Big Kahuna." Round-trip time is approximately 3.5 hours.
