Sarah, Chelsea and River were the best guides we never knew we needed! Sarah and Chelsea took us through the zipline course. Not only did they keep us safe and make sure we understood exactly what we needed to do at all times, they were just incredibly fun! They kept things light, while also being supportive of the members of our group who were a bit more hesitant or unsure. There were 10 of us, many of whom had not ziplined before. Sarah and Chelsea were happy to show us how to do the fun things, but also quick to let us know when we should refrain or wait until a better part of the course. They explained each section and the best way to get through the section in the most enjoyable way. We had a blast!
River was simply awesome! As our rafting guide, he was so laid back and calm while also being incredibly competent and making sure we enjoyed all the "spicy lines" that he took. We were all yelling "spicy lines only" by the last rapids! Unlike in past rafting trips, nobody fell out of the boat. Even for the most stomach twisting 3+ rapids, because of his clear explanations of what we would encounter and his reminders to lock in, all of us got through the rapids with nobody taking an unwanted dip. Because we chose a full day adventure with lunch, we also got a tasty meal between the ziplining and rafting. Chicken fajitas, rice and beans and fruit and PB & J sandwich makings were very tasty. Our vegans, vegetarians and omnivores were all happy. Finally, I don't recommend this, but our group arrived late. Despite our late arrival, AVA worked hard to still accommodate us and turned what had started out as a bad morning into an awesome day. Thank you for the great experience! I know we will be back!
