Every employee of River Rat from checking in, our guides, and purchasing photos was nice, informative, and wonderful to work with! Nice good equipment and experience on the water, but the workers made this experience a 10/10!!!! From Wes explaining safety, to Rusty & Spencer keeping us entertained on the bus, and Tommy and Madison being our groups guides; EVERYONE WAS SO FUNNY, SO NICE, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE about the area and white water rafting. Already planning a trip to come back next year, 1000% recommend!

We went on the final ride of the season and had a blast! Wes got us started with a kb entertaining safety talk, and Spencer kept the good times rolling on the bus with our “in flight entertainment.” Tommy and Madison were fantastic guides! They were knowledgeable and made sure we all felt comfortable and safe on the river. Would definitely recommend and plan on coming back next year for the extreme adventure!

We white water rafted on the upper river on one of the last days of the season. Since we were at the tail end of the season, it wasn’t busy at all. The two of us were able to have a raft to ourselves with a guide. Myranda was our guide and she was incredible! Highly recommend River Rat white water rafting and Myranda!
