Our trip through the class 3 and 4 rapids was thrilling! We had a great guide and got terrific photos. There was a balance of calm floating and enjoying the georgeous scenery and more action on the white water! Great company , safety is a big priority and it's a great time!

I've been white water rafting in several states and this company was by far one of the best. Their prices are great and our guide (Tyler) was friendly and halarious! The kids were sad when it was over. We will definitely be back!!

We had so much fun on our rafting trip. The lower Pigeon River was perfect for our family. My 7 year old just thought it was amazing! And we had the best guide! Dean was great! Having him with us made it even more enjoyable. If you go make sure to ask for him!

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your trip on the Lower Pigeon. It is a great trip for young kids, and Dean is absolutely wonderful with kids, and one of the most senior guides on the entire river. Please come back and see us for another adventure, and feel free to request Dean!
