Cody was a great kayak guide! We were in inflatable kayaks, and shared the adventure with 2 big rafts. Sam and Skyler were the raft captains, and the entire group had a lot of laughs, starting with the safety orientation. The river was warm and high enough to provide some excitement. My son enjoyed the rapids the most, and my wife and I most appreciated the beautiful scenery in the slower spots.

Max was a great tour guide for our first rafting trip as a group! It was easy to operate with his help. The experience made us want to go back next year for the full day! Highly recommended!!@

We had a great time out on the water w/our guide Skyler. Was slow and steady in the beginning, with lots of opportunities to row (and use those muscles), with some fun rapid areas throughout. A fairly easy ride, would recommend for all ages.
