My daughter and I had a great rafting experience with our guide M.D. today. She made the trip fun, exhilarating and free of worries. Even though she was working hard from the time we stepped into the raft until we had to head to shore to keep us safe while we avoided hazards, she made it seem like she was having the time of her life. We wish we could go again tomorrow!

My 12 yo daughter and I did the half day kayak trip with Robbie. We had a fantastic time. Robbie was knowledgeable and friendly, and the scenery was unparalleled.

My favorite part of rafting was definitely the guide on the tour! Her name is M.D. and she is the best person ever for this job! She knows the river, history, and very outgoing!! She has made considered to be a river guide for the next summers. Nebraska girl ;)
