Mountain Waters was ready for our family of five, organized, helpful and had many (if not all) of the things any land lubber could forget to bring. Our guide, Carl, was super with a wealth of knowledge of the area. He could recommend anything from restaurants to other day trips. His interaction with the adults was only superseded by his manor with our teens. Oh and - he could steer a raft! We loved it.

Mountain Waters Rafting is filled with mad talent, but Carl sets the bar very high, thank you for the review!

This group was very professional and Zach made the trip fun and enjoyable. They gave us great safety instructions and made us feel like we were pros at white water rafting!

Feeling like pros and being pros is a very fine line. Mountain Waters guides live in that zone for you, thank you for the review!

Grant was our guide and he was great! Safety is a top priority for this company. My 16 year old daughter took the half day trip and it was amazing. They provided a snack of chips and salsa with apples and water. We rented wet suites and booties. The entire staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend!! We had a great time. Remember to bring money to tip your guides. They take photos of you on your trip and they cost $30. They have changing rooms and restrooms. They will keep your keys for you.
