Robby made our trip a lot of fun! The team did a great job in emphasizing safety. We would highly recommend this trip for families. Our 8 yr old had a blast and so did we!

Nobody in my family wanted to go but me. They didn’t want to get wet with ice cold water. We all had the rented water boots, a must. In the end we all had a blast. John, our raft guide, was the best. He did most of the work keeping our raft in the correct direction and we were just had to row on his request. Again, John was awesome, great attitude and corny jokes too.
