Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. Also great at guiding our party through the rapids. We had an amazing time, and will definitely be returning to conquer the tougher rapids

Awesome experience. Learned a lot about the history of the area during downtime in the raft. Magnificent guide! Kudos to Kirby as he was not only personable but was attentive to details. Way to go!

Our family of four had a wonderful time on the New River rafting trip with Patrick. He is so knowledgeable about the geology, history, and flora of the area, and we learned so much from him. We are very grateful for his expertise in rafting, also, as we were able to experience the thrills of the rapids and not feel like we were in over our heads. Highly recommend this business- we were very well cared for, from start to finish.
