We had a blast! This was our first time white water rafting and we would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great time. Our raft guide, John C was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the local area and is extremely experienced and made the trip safe and still fun!

Mild enough for our 4 and 7 y/o, but still had a great time! Steve was our guide and he was awesome - kind, patient, and knowledgeable.

Kipper the Skipper had the correct techniques in the most technical pinball & astroid belt regions, though we did have one tipper that made a few of us quiver but shiver not; Kipper came through. Made sure that my 5-year-old and 7-year-old had a blast the entire 3 hours on the river. Even the "super cool" college kids were smiling throughout. Kip the Skip did a great job navigating throughout the post - monsoon rains. Also, if you're looking for a great helper to put you in position to splash the other boats, like that guide named Jesse, who deserves it, seek out and request Kip. They do request one thing: enjoy yourself. Kindest regards, Cameron Lee Hutton, Pittsburgh, PA
