The river was beautiful. Our raft guide was Jeb and he was excellent! A few more rapids would have been great but for the next of August it was a perfect trip.

We had a great time on the river. Josh was a great instructor and guide. It was our first time rafting and had 3 kids so we were uneasy to start. Josh was very experienced and we felt perfectly safe within minutes. Would recommend this adventure for anyone.

Although it was the end of the season and the river was lower and slower than earlier in the season, Josh gave us a wonderful “ride”. It was my first ever rafting experience and I would do it again. Such fun! All the guides and personnel were extremely personable. I felt confident and safe in their hands.
