We did the half day rafting trip with Crispy today and it was great! We were beginners and he made it easy for us. He was funny and knowledgeable about the area. And the pirate accent cracked my kids up.

We had an amazing time! Our raft guide was Wolfgang and he was charming and very adept at helping us (when we forgot to help him). We thoroughly enjoyed our time with a mixed crew of older adults (me and my husband, both retired) as well as daughter and granddaughters ranging in age from 9 to 18. The water was freezing but we didn't notice, we were having such a great time. We went on the 4th of July and the crew made it so much fun horsing around and encouraging us to have water fights. We loved our time and look forward to coming back again someday. My granddaughters already said that they will ask for Wolfgang, too!
