Helena was a great guide! 10/10 would recommend her and the rest of the team at River Rat… everyone was very friendly and engaged

This was my first rafting experience and it will be tough to beat. The facility was very clean, employees very professional, and the guides were very knowledgeable. We were a party of 20 with my 85 year old mother and several 21 year olds and all ages had a blast. Matt, Brent, and all the other guides made this experience one we’ll never forgot. This is the place to go!

We had a great time and great guide on our first rafting adventure with our 8, 11, and 12 year old kids. Hesitant to book the upper pigeon, but trusted Spencer and he took good care of us!! Kids can't wait to go back and do it again!! Well worth it!
