Had a blast with my son. First time for both of us.. he was a little nervous but our guide Riley was great and he ended up wanting to do it again! The jokes on the bus and along the way were great and well timed. All around great trip and worth the drive.

We started with the easy lower section of the river because of our 9 year old with language and sensory issues. Spencer was THE BEST TOUR GUIDE, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we immediately booked the upper rapids tour with him after we finished the first. The owner was incredibly gracious with allowing us to reschedule with Spencer! Spencer was kind and understanding with the sensory and language issues, as well as sensitive to my recovery from recent ankle surgery in April. DO NOT go to one of those big box companies that sends 8 boats out at a time with 8 people on it!!!! River Rat is THE COMPANY to go with on this river!!! We recommend them to ANYONE with or without experience!!!
