We had an amazing time! There were mostly 2s and 3s but had 4 too. No problem for any of us (parents with 14 and 15 year old). Tony was our guide and he is wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the area, offered history, jokes and facts throughout the trip. We definitely want to go again!

Very professional rafting company with high quality rafts, gear and staff. We did the 1/2 day rafting trip with our guide Mel. Cannot say enough good things about her--entertained us all afternoon, gave us local insights and kept us safe while running class 3&4 rapids. Other rafting guides in our group were Wes & Miller--both very friendly and helpful on the bus to/from the river. Highly recommend.

We did the Brown‘s Canyon full day trip a week ago and loved it! Wilderness Aware has a very nice building with plenty of parking and is easy to find. We liked that the waivers could be filled out digitally ahead of time. The building has souvenirs for sale and some coffee and hotel breakfast type food for customers. All the staff that we spoke with were friendly and helpful. So, this trip has a sort of BAPTISM BY FIRE as you get in the river right where the rapids begin. That was fun and unexpected (but may not have been if Justin, our guide, had not been so good at his job)! Back to our guide: Our enjoyment of the trip was really because of how well he did his job. He let us know what we had to do at each point (though I suspect his actions at the rear of the raft were the main reason we stayed upright) and was always pleasant about how to paddle...etc. There is a lot of time to talk on the trip too and it was interesting to hear about adventures in New Zealand, Bolivia and Guatemala. Our midday stop was delicious with cold cuts and chips and dip and lemonade...etc. All of the rapids were exciting and the adventure was just about the right amount of time. Definitely wear long pants and sleeves. It will protect you from the sun and keep you warm. We rented the water boots and appreciated them!
