Fun and adventurous family trip! Our guide for rafting, Shoestring, and his partner Siggie navigated the river as experts. We were complete novices and had a blast! The clifside zip lining was led by Tim and Jesse. They put our safety first and then made sure everyone was having a great time. Lots of memories made on our trip.

We took our family of 7, ranging in ages from 10-47 on the 6-line zipline tour today with Kale and Tim, and it was GREAT! They were excellent guides, focused on safety and coaching us to be safe while making it fun at the same time! They truly were amazing! Our entire group had a great time and would highly recommend going with Ava and Tim and Kale!

Tim and Joh made our experience safe and very fun. Both guys are awesome at what they do! We will be back! We rafted with Enrique and he was awesome. The lessons he gave us before we got in the water helped us immensely once we got in the river. He made our experience very fun as well!
