We had an amazing half-day rafting trip with Cheddar as our guide. He was funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe and relaxed through the trip. Their COVID guidelines are stellar and we all had an amazing time. My kids are 8 and 10 and didn’t want it to end!! Thanks, Cheddar, for a super fun trip and those great stories that kept Delilah and Jackson guessing and entertained!

Thank you for saying our COVID guidelines are stellar. The governor gave great guidance on reopening for outdoor recreation and co-owner Daniel did a great job implementing them for our crew. A big thank you has to go to our staff and especially our guests who have been nothing but cooperative and supportive this summer. Thank you for writing us a review!

Our guide Sid was amazing. She was great with our entire group, very fun, we all had the best time! Even though the river levels were low, we had more fun this time than our previous.

Every raft trip is different: the river levels, the guides and you yourself have change. It's like that quote about stepping into the same river twice... Thank you for the review!

We booked our trip very last minute, they had availability for me and two other friends. They had their safety covid protocols in place so we still got to be safe and also have a fun time. This was definitely a family friendly raft trip, 4 hrs including a snack stop and playing in the water a bit, very timid waters but with some great fun parts, getting splashed, and bumping around. Our guide Spencer was great, very skilled, kept us all safe gave great instructions and led a super fun and relaxing trip down the river. Will definitely be doing a rafting trip in Arizona when the season starts, he gave us great recommendations.

Thank you for noting our COVID safety measures which have gone over very well thanks to our guests help and the diligence of our guides, drivers and office staff. Check us out in Arizona on the Upper Salt River with our sister company RaftingSaltRiver! Thank you for the review!
