Anna was awesome. Thought I would be afraid and I’m ready for more challenging experiences and fun with them. Fantastic People! Safety without sacrificing fun!

Great experience for the family, including a first timer. River was pretty calm with one class III section at the end. Our guide Jesse was outstanding. Would probably look for a more challenging river next time. Highly recommend for families with young kids.

We run 12 sections of four different rivers between the family friendly level you did to some of the most challenging whitewater in the state! Thank you for the review and recommendation.

This company was the best! Great communication when our 1/2 day trip had to be moved to 2.5 hours due to low water levels. Check in was easy and all the guides seemed great. Our guide Anna was fantastic! She made sure the kids (and adults) had a great time and even let the kids sit in her captain's chair. My only complaint is that we live out of state and can't do this again. Highly recommend!

Our goal is to always provide the best trip and when the water gets low we think the best trip is a bit shorter which actually gives our guests more time at the whitewater park. How does a shorter trip make more time? Ask your guide, it has to do with relativity and stuff. Thank you for the review and recommendation!
