This experience blew our expectations away! We were a group of friends from Ohio for a quick getaway and planned it last minute. We were very unprepared but they had wet suits available for us which was crucial for the weather. Our guide, Crock, was super funny and knew the river like the back of his hand! They took great pictures of us that they just sent to us after, no need to pay for them which was super nice! Overall, would definitely recommend and definitely plan on coming back!

Definitely had a lot of fun on the 4 hour experience with Tristan. We were scared to go on this experience with no experience haha but Tristan kept us safe with his great commands. We also had the owner of the company on a separate kayak just in case anything happened.

Fantastic trip on the Lower New River and amazing guide. Plenty of excellent rapids without being completely crazy (do the Gauley with the same company if that’s what you are looking for). Our guide’s name was Croc and he was an extremely knowledge guide who made us feel safe the entire trip. Amazing personality with stories and jokes the entire time. Most talkative person I’ve ever met, really enjoyed him and entire experience. Beautiful location.

Thank you so much David! We are so excited to hear you all enjoyed your trip. We are lucky to have Dale as apart of our team and there is no one quite like him! We hope to see you all back again for some more fun on the river, cheers.
