We did the family friendly 4 hour trip with friends two days ago. The guides were very professional and experienced. They prepared us for anything we might encounter. Thankful we didn’t have any unexpected issues and it was all super fun. Thanks Zach for a great experience! We will definitely do it again! Lisa

In Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell wrote that to Be Prepared means “you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body..." We aren't scouts, but we are Guides! Thank you for the review.

This was a super fun family rafting trip. Highly recommend. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. HIgh recommend! Son said this was the highlight of our vacation (and it's rare that a teenage gets excited about much).
