We did the upper trip and had a great time! Our guide, “The Rev” Dean, was very patient and helpful with my young children. He offered plenty of history of the area, had a great knowledge of the river and was able to hit waves just right so that the kids got wet but didn’t fall out of the boat. We had a fantastic time, the scenery is beautiful and definitely will be back!
