Our family had a great time with American Adventures! Our kids had never gone rafting before this trip and afterwards they kept saying how much they want to go again. Our youngest daughter was really nervous about going and our guide, Maddy was so great with her and really made the trip enjoyable for all of us. I’d highly recommend American Adventures if you’re looking for a family friendly rafting experience!

This company is small enough to be personal to their clients, and big enough to provide professional service. I easily get seasick and have limited movement due to medical conditions, so I was worried at first. However, the raft guides, Charlie and Craig, were understanding and professional to give me a wonderful time and great rafting experience without any hindrance on my part. Thank you AAE.

Our family had a BLAST with John and Zack. They were fun and made our group of newbies feel confident. Great with kids and fun to look at, 10 out of 10 for these two and their organization!
