Our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids, 8 & 10yo) had a fantastic half day rafting with this group. The whole team seemed to be really well organised and implemented sufficient safety protocols with regards to Covid-19. Our guide, Mick, was great. Mick was a great instructor, super fun, great with our young boys and just a great guy to chat with during the ride. The river was low, but Mick ensured we still had a fun experience. Would definitely recommend.

Because it was late in the season, the river was low, but the trip was still fun. Sid, our guide, was awesome! She made the trip not just good, but great!

We had an amazing time with Jesse, our guide. Best experience for our first rafting trip! We enjoyed it so much! Jesse was funny and an all around great guide. He took great care of us and our 2 girls. I would recommend them hands down! We saw other companies in the water but Mountain Water Rafting teams were having the best time!

Even though I know our crew, which is very much like a family, has the best time, that is very nice of you to say. Thank you for the review and recommendation!
