Had a great time for wide range of family members. Oldest was 54, youngest was 15, and two in their twenties. Fun for all and a memorable way to spend a half day. They handled everything and we just enjoyed the experience!

5 of us in our 60 and 70s had the best time with our guide Carter and our 3 new raft buddies Miko Inez and Joyce. I think we did a solid for our fellow senior citizens

Beauty along the river. Guide was nice but not real engaging. Instructions were good; we were “paired” with 3 other “older” ladies, one who did not row, so we didn’t feel confident they could row through the more difficult rapids, so we opted not to take those, which was a bit disappointing.

Ask for Zane to be your guide. Family for generations in the area. Lots of stories. Knows River well.

The trip was so much fun. It was safe enough for our 7 year old but still fun for the older crew. There were some calm areas, but the river was moving at a good clip and there were lots of rapids. Our guide was knowledgeable, did a great job of managing our raft, and had some fun things for the kids to do. The facilities were clean and there were private changing areas for after the trip. All of the staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy their work. We would definitely take this rafting trip again.

Great family experience with my 14 & 16 year olds. The half day trip was perfect. Our guide Cole was very good and had a good balance of humor and direction.

Having Brady as our guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable and helped us to have FUN while feeling quite SAFE!
Feeling the big water splashes was also pretty amazing!

We did the half day excursion and I felt it was very safe fun & affordable. What an enjoyable memory. Haven our driver & Paris our guide were very knowledgeable and accommodating. My wife was afraid of rafting, she had never been but they were able to make her comfortable. The guide is able to make it more or less challenging depending on your comfort level (by either taking the rapids a little on the outside or straight through the middle). After the first two rapids she was comfortable enough to take them full on. This is a great course for different levels of experience. We can’t wait to go back and we’ll take our teenagers next time.

Had a fun ride down the river with our knowledgeable guide Garrett. Was nervous at first when he was explaining about what to do if one falls out of the boat, but we stayed in the whole time and barely got wet, loved it.

Ty was our guide and he was awesome, tons of local and rafting knowledge and full of entertaining stories and jokes and was a very social and fun guy to raft with. The entire company was quite professional and everything went pretty smooth. I’d suggest the full day rather than the half day cause you won’t be able to get enough of it.
