We had the most amazing experience rafting with River Rats! Our family was split into two boats with Madison and Shane as our guides. They were both phenomenal! We would 1000% go with River Rat again. If you want a cool experience while on vacation, with guides that not only have the experience but great personalities to make your trip that much better then don’t hesitate to book here! We have already discussed coming back for another trip down the river. From our family we just want to thank River Rats for making it an experience that we will never forget. -Matt, Jenelle, Kaden, Julianna, Jenna, Susan, Joe and Grace

I can not say enough about how amazing our trip was. Our guide Shane was the best. Thoughtful, knowledgeable, and just a great guy. Kudo's to him and the entire team. The one thing that we noticed was that EVERYONE at this location was friendly and helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend this group to anyone wanting a great adventure.

We had a blast! The experience from start to finish was exceptional. Very easy to book online. The check in process was simple and staff very friendly. The safety education was spot on. The staff was very upbeat and friendly. Shout out to our guide, Rein! Some in our boat didn't want to tip, and he kept us out of the water. The ones that wanted to swim, were able to get in the water at a quiet spot. Highly recommend this trip!
