Three generations of family did the half day white water rafting trip today, all novices. We had and amazing time made even better by our raft guide Anna, she was the best!!! It was a beautiful trip and she made sure to point out all the landmarks. We had plenty of splashing and adventure for first timers and want to go back and do it again. We so appreciated the extra care this company takes regarding safety. Eric, the leader, was also so helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended this company.

We took the half day family friendly trip. We have a family of five with no experience. The trip was great no issues at all. I highly recommend this company. Our guide Morgan was the best! She navigated the River with ease and made sure we hit the big rapids perfect. I would recommend this trip to anyone! — Hackleman family. June 10 2021.
