Great crew and well run. Smaller groups than everyone else we saw on the River. We definitely had a more personalized experience than the other boats that were all just packed full. And there were adult beverages at the end! Lunch is ham and cheese sandwiches so if you want something more just bring it with you. Definitely would go here first if rafting this area again. Everything was very easy and laid back.

Arriving after an hour and a half drive to find I had NO reservations! Not even on the list! I would never use Viator! Not even sure how they got involved in my trip. I made reservations on a website and somehow they sent me a confirmation for National Whitewater Rafting which no one ever heard of. So, we made the trip for nothing. Ruined a birthday excursion for me and my 3 friends. 540.00 wasted!!

Hi Gary! We tried to reach you by phone repeatedly on Saturday morning when you didn't show up at 9 AM. Our calls went straight to voicemail, so after 30 minutes of holding up the shuttle bus, we had to let it go. Maybe you went to the wrong rafting company? We're happy to rebook your trip, please get in touch with us directly!

Great river, very scenic. Went with three teen boys and my wife. Our guide, Dale, is a seasoned river veteran who made everyone feel safe, including the nervous mom, and hit every rapid perfectly for maximum enjoyment. This is a small company that gives personal attention. Wait times are minimal to non-existent. You will not be part of a herd, which is how the bigger companies appear to treat their groups.
