The rapids were exciting but nothing too extreme. Moderate level, but enough to be exciting. The guides were really great. Our guide Benny was a real Pro. You're in good hands, well taken care of, and the whole operation is pretty well organized. It ran like a well oiled machine. I was impressed. Hard to find that level of quality service these days.

We took a trip with ROA last Tuesday and it was awesome. Justin kept us entertained on the short bus ride up to the drop off point. While this is a very busy river we got right on and had no issues with other boats. We got lucky and had Justin as our guide and he was great. It seems like he can make it as tame our as wild as you like. we opted for wild. We hit rocks, surfed, fought with other boats and generally had a blast all the way down the river. My only complaint is that it was over too fast. The other party in our boat booked back-to-back trips. We will do that next time. Highly recommend Raft Outdoors.
