We were all a bit hesitant about the trip because none of us had ever been white water rafting. After the check-in process we were feeling better but still nervously excited. Once we met our guide Dillon and got on the river all that nervousness melted away. Dillon was a goofy yet charming guy who put everyone at ease. He knew the river very well and was easy to talk with about anything. We were all "Singing in the Rain" during an apparently welcome 45 minute downpour. The other guides on the shuttles were all very personable and helpful too, and looked out for each other on the river (we had 8 rafts in our group). I would highly recommend this tour company. A very well run outfit.
