This was one of the BEST family experiences I have ever had! Our guide Sam was fantastic. He was calm, friendly and funny. Our kids loved him and he made both the adults feel confident in their abilities. We can't wait to go back and we will be requsting Sam again.

This was the most fun we had on our trip! Our guide, Emma, was great and everyone had a fun morning on the river! The river wasn't too wild that day, which made for a great trip with our 8 year old. Would definitely recommend!
