We had an amazing time! Eliot was our guide. Not only did she physically do an awesome job guiding our boat, she shared interesting information with us about the area. The trip was a perfect mix of excitement (class 3 and 4 rapids) and relaxation (flat water to class 2.) We also felt the cost was reasonable for the experience. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our experience with River Rat and Eliot, and would absolutely recommend it!

This experience from River Rat was excellent. We were there on a good day and the rapids were moving. Our guide Becky was really fun.

First time rafting as a family and it was absolutely amazing! All of the staff were courteous and made sure everyone was well educated on what to expect. Our guide Bryce has been there for 7 years now and was amazing. We went with an 11 and 12 year old. All the guides were engaged, would highly recommend coming here. We'll be back next year!
