Outstanding trip. They made everything so easy and called the day before for our lunch order. Croc our guide was awesome. Very interesting character to say the least. The kids and I couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Thank you all for the outstanding adventure. Everyone was extremely helpful and easy to talk to.

Awesome trip and guide was very knowledgeable of navigating the waters. Very kind and fun guy! Trent was great! Beautiful views and fun time. Just wish there was a little more activity since we mostly rode level 2 rapids.

We had a great trip on the Upper New River. Our guide was very knowledgeable on the river and area. My girls loved this outing and want to do it again. The company was very organized and well run.
