Great experience. Expert guide. I chose this particular rafting for the added bonus of complimentary lunch. Also nice to have a photo included! The videos were soooo good!

It's very wet. Follow the safety instructions, and you have no need to worry.
Johna was young (and full of jokes), but experienced and quite knowledgeable.

Jake made the entire experience! He was super knowledgeable about rafting and eliminated any fear - even as we approached class 4 rapids. The scenery is amazing and the rapids from 2-4 were soooo much fun! We’d definitely do it again.

Shep was a great guide, had a fantastic time! Just don't forget a dry set of clothes to change into afterword, it's a pretty chilly ride back.

Went on the 4 hour trip solo and had a great time. The guide never lost control of the situation and was knowledgeable on the history of the area as well. Will definitely come back some time.

Great rapids, great guides, well organized. My husband and I had a great time doing the class 4 rapids. A few people did fall out but they were quick and efficient to get them safe and sound in a raft. They also had a quick safety talk that gives you all the info you need to have fun:) definitely recommend and can’t wait to go again!
