We had a wonderful time with Cassie as our guide. She was fun, knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding community, and made our church youth group feel comfortable. This was their first time rafting and they all agreed they want to come back and try some level 3 rapids!

Thank you so much! We are lucky to have Cassie on our team and I will make sure to pass along these kind words. We look forward to stepping it up with you all next time!

Cassie led our family (aged 9-74) on a rafting trip that was both fun and historically interesting. The 45 minute drive to the put-in point was filled with local lore. The class I and II rapids were tame enough for our multi-generational trip but also provided enough spray for everyone to have fun. Overall, the company was incredibly professional and the trip was a highlight of our trip to the New River Gorge.
