We went with our 14 yr. daughter and another family that had a 13 and 10 yr. old. We laughed, we screamed, we ate delicious fajitas, we learned a few things from our guide Denis who was really great at putting up with us and we all were sad when it was over! You MUST buy the pictures afterwards because it's proof what you did and it's hilarious to see who is actually getting soaked, who is actually paddling and doing the work and who is falling inside the raft laughing. I was nervous that it was going to be freezing since the water temperature is cold. I highly recommend wearing the wet suit and wet suit booties on your feet. They give you a splash jacket that keeps you warm and of course, the sun will warm you up too. I'm a big wimp when it comes to being cold and I was very comfortable. This is great family fun! We will definitely do it again!

Glad you shared time with your daughter and included us. Rafting is a great way for the generations to bond! Denis is a ton of fun. So you next time!

We did the full day sprint....the whole ten miles but without lunch (just a snack stop). Big water, big fun and guide Glenn was awesome, keeping us all in the boat. If you have a chance on the last rapid to ride the bull...DO IT!!!

Went on our first white water rafting trip TODAY. I’m writing this review now because I cannot believe what an incredible experience we just had. You will not regret this trip. All of the guides were so funny and entertaining. They made the trip even more amazing. But above all they are very experienced. I don’t know about you, but I want an experienced guide just in case things go wrong. I felt completely safe with this crew. I highly recommend the Wilderness Aware Rafting team. Our entire boat felt the same way. If you’ve ever wanted to try this out my advice is just do it! It’s the most fun you’ll ever have.
