All of us enjoyed the trip. It was our first rafting experience and it couldn't have been more perfect. Our guide was Trent and we were both entertained and felt thoroughly safe. 10/10, will definitely recommend.

Amazing tour and even better tour guide! “Will” was our guide and he did an amazing job. Very knowledgeable and made our experience one to remember. Our driver “Croc” made the drive there and back interesting with his expertise and his time spent on the river. Great group of guys and we will definitely go back. Thanks WVA!!

We had Will as our guide and he was absolutely amazing!! Felt as if we were hanging with a good friend for the day. He had great jokes, easy conversation and tons of information about the area. Our trip felt personalized to perfectly fit our family. Our 7yr old had a blast! We will definitely be returning!
