Very fun, first time white water rafting. Pretty mellow- but with a few class 2 and one class 3 sections to keep things interesting.... good for beginners. There was an 8-year-old on our raft with us and we saw a raft with 4 or 5 year olds. The guides were so friendly and quite funny.

And that is why we call it family friendly rafting! Thank you for the review.

We had an amazing trip from start to finish. The front desk staff was very welcoming and friendly. Our guide Ben was amazing! Very knowledgeable, personable and just the right amount of corny jokes. This was my first rafting trip and I felt safe and reassured! We will definitely be back! Job well done Ben and Mountain Waters.

My wife and I went on June 12, 2022. From the initital call to book through the end of the trip, it was a great experience! Everyone who worked there was super friendly and helpful. Our guide Ben was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and personable. There were many challenging rapids in this short trip, but nothing all age groups and experience levels wouldn't enjoy. We highly recommend Mountain Waters!
