Just WOW!! Our family ranging from 6 to 70 had an absolute blast with Darrel U. on the scenic float. We loved floating (and getting splashed) on our raft and the views were absolutely gorgeous. Darrel ensured we had a fantastic, fun and safe experience and it is something we will all remember forever. So glad to have had the Big Creek Expeditions experience!

My sister and I took our kids as an end of summer treat. We did the lower pigeon float with Janet as our guide. The trip was so much fun and Janet made it extra special! The kids loved her and she even got our little one that hates water splashing and giggling uncontrollably! The older kids did the upper pigeon trip with Darrell U. and they all agreed that it was definitely the best part of the trip! None of us have ever gone white water rafting before but they were very thorough in making sure we were comfortable and outfitted properly in our gear as well as making it SO MUCH FUN! Highly Recommend!

Big Creek Expeditions is fantastic, as an veteran with service dog’s they are the only white water rafting companies in the area that made accommodations for my service dog’s. I rely on the dog’s to alert me when there’s a medical issue, so this was an amazing experience. I highly recommend this company. We felt like part of a larger family. Thank you so much.
