Our guide was Jamie who was great, but we did the lower because we have a 7 year old who only weight 59 pounds. It was pretty boring for the kids, 7, 10, 14, 17. Not very fast paced. Do NOT buy the pictures ahead, total waste of money, and pics were not great. You can always buy 1-2 after if you have any good shots.

I am glad you enjoyed your time with your guide Jamie, and I'm sorry that the Lower wasn't enough excitement. The good news is the youngest will be old enough next summer to take on the excitement of the Upper. Please come back and see us and give the Upper a try!

Our first rafting experience was one for the books. We had 4 generations on board and everyone had a great time. Our guide, TJ, was knowledgeable and very fun. So much fun, our 4 y/o son still remembers his name and talks about him. We will be back!

We had six people- two adults and four older kids- and we had a blast. The weather was barely cooperative when we arrived but cleared enough to allow us to enjoy the rapids. Our guides, Stevie and Nathan, were both engaging, knowledgeable and very helpful. They made everyone feel comfortable and special. It was our first experience on any rapids so we were all presently pleased with the overall experience. Definitely a great way to spend the afternoon with family.
