Brandon(aka chewy) was a great guide! Our entire group had an amazing experience and will be going back. Definitely recommend River Rat to anyone looking for a great rafting experience!

Our group of 9 did the upper rapids and had an absolute blast. Not sure how they did it, but this company even made the check in and safety instructions fun. We had Madison, and she was such a great combo of skilled guide, comedian and so focused on us having fun. There are so many different outfits in this area, but choose this one. You won’t be disappointed!

If you are looking for a fun rafting trip, go to River Rat Whitewater Rafting. All guides are put through rigorous training, so you know you will be in good hands. Our guide, Ewok, was incredible! Not only did he share a lot of cool facts about the river, but he also spent time getting to know us personally. He has many years of guide experience under his belt and numerous emergency certifications. We felt completely at ease under his guidance. This made our trip so much more enjoyable! If you are on the fence about which company to use, look no further. Pick River Rat!
