Amy and Tim were fantastic guides for my family (husband and wife and twin 8 year olds). The rapids were 1s and 2s and we felt completely safe at all times. A really peaceful, scenic float. Highly recommend.

Amy was a wonderful guide. Our float trip was relaxing but had a few rapids to show us what the potential of the river could be. We are all in our 70 so we felt a float trip would be better, and it was. Would highy reccomend this organization to any family wanting a great experience.

Had a blast rafting down the New River. Our guide, Will, was an extremely competent, funny, and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend WVA for an awesome raft trip!
