This was an excellent trip! Our guide, Trent, was awesome. Unfortunately, he’s leaving to start his career, but all the other guides were great! The organization is run well, and they knew who was comings and who’d done what. The online waivers were wonderful! I highly recommend this tour, too. It’s perfect for a family. We have 7, 9, and 17 year olds in ours, and they all had a blast! We saw a bald eagle and truly enjoyed the rafting. It wasn’t a snooze! There were some good rapids! Nothing was too much for the little ones, but it was enough fun to really have fun.

Excellent guide. Rapids were mostly class 2 with a couple class 3’s. Well organized and safe. They encourage swimming, and have a couple rocks 10 to 15 foot high that you can jump off. One class 2.5 rapid that they allow you to float with your life jacket (and helmet) Beautiful scenery.
