Although we arrived in the middle of heavy rain which compromised our ability to raft on the Lower New River as planned with our 12 and 17 year old girls, the staff did a great job reorganizing everything and remained completely friendly, funny, and professional the entire time. We are looking forward to coming back next summer (hopefully with better weather:)) Regardless, we made the best of it, and had a fantastic time! Also, Chip did a great job with his addition of explaining the history of the area!

This was a fantastic experience! The guides were all extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They had the perfect blend of relaxed demeanor which kept us calm and enjoying the beautiful scenery and professional intensity to know that we were led safely through the class 3, 4 and 5 rapids. I would happily go back many times since each trip down the river is new and exciting!

We did two nights of camping and a lower New River rafting trip. It rained our first night of camping and the staff helped assure we stayed dry. During our rafting trip we had one of our rafts flip and I was overwhelmed by how professional and safe their plan was to get everyone safely back in the boat and enjoying their time again. (Flips are uncommon, but sometimes happen to even the best.) The staff stopped by our site to get to know us and we all plan to go again. It is a smaller company and you definitely noticed by the personalization of the entire experience.
