Nice guides. Perfect weather. The water was a little low but it was still a good experience. Bring bug spray and sunscreen.

THIS WAS THE BEST!!!!! I had a little trouble with the reservation when I arrived but Hannah quickly had it ironed out and I was on the River in no time. She and the other guide, Bananas, made it a perfect ride. The support staff seamlessly worked with the guides to deal with the equipment, the boats and transporting us. You can feel a family vibe between them and they make sure you feel like part of the family by the end of the day. The cherry on top was pictures and video from different stages of the ride that the staff downloaded right to my phone at the end free of charge. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!

My wife and kids had never been rafting before. The half day tour was a perfect intro. The rapids are fun and just a tad challenging, so my 11 year old had no issues. The scenery is incredible and the guides made the experience safe and fun. Special thanks to Josh for a safe, fun and memorable experience.

So much fun! The guides were awesome and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend! Water was cold, ask for a wet suit.

Float under a Dr Seuss tree,
wave to the friendly residents along the way under the red cliffs.
Feel the power and beauty of nature simultaneously.
KY (Kyle Young) steered “like a beast” carving turns with rocks.

The water was running fast yesterday, and it made for a really exciting trip!! My husband, 3 kids and I had an absolute blast with our guide Hayden C. He made the trip safe but thrilling!!
