Wonderful time for our three generation family. Cassie was informative and fun. She and the whole team certainly knew the river and their craft. One of the most fun experiences of our three week multi state time together. Thank you so much!

We live in Lewes, Delaware and went to Pittsburgh first and then drove to West Virginia. The weather sucked but we made the best of it. We would have gotten soaked no matter what the weather was so thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Patrick Stone, aka Banjo, was our guide and did an incredible job of leading our group of four 60+ folks through the rapids. We had such fun and would do it again in a heartbeat! Go Patrick!

Took the afternoon family raft trip with our daughter, sil, and 4 grandkids. Loved the bus ride and Cassie's commentary. The rafting was so relaxing, and the kids loved the class 2 "rapids", the opportunity to swim twice, and the balance game. Again, Cassie was awesome answering our questions, and providing so much info. The kids can't be wait to turn 12 and try more rafting trips. Thank you so much...from 3 generations.
