This was our first rafting trip. My husband, 10 yo son and I were paired with Will. He was an amazing guide! He did all the heavy lifting/rowing, had tons of fun and interesting facts to share, was super patient with our son and most importantly kept us safe. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would not hesitate to recommend them to friend and family and would definitely do another trip with them.

We had a great rafting trip! It was so much fun for everyone. Our youngest was 12 and the oldest 48. Great adventure for the entire family. Every single staff member was a true professional. They all made us feel at home from the time we got in the property. This was our second time with them and we will have lots more. Wouldn’t think of going with anyone else.

The experience was great from the get go. Will was funny and welcoming right away. Our guide, Reed, also was funny and an excellent guide. We are a family of 6, our youngest being 11. He loved it. The family float was relaxing, beautiful, and yet just enough excitement to keep the kids happy. I highly recommend.
