This is the second time WW rafting here. I would highly recommend. This time a 10 year was the youngest in our party he did fine. 3 teenagers and 3 adults. There was only 2 out of the 7 who has ever rafted before and we did just fine. We had a newer guide only been doing for two months and controlled the raft like he has done it for years.

This was our family’s first rafting trip, and something I have wanted to do my entire life. Our guide was Casey, and he was fantastic! He was very informative, witty, and fun. I wondered if my older children enjoyed the trip. They did, and were glad that we were assigned to Casey’s raft, because he made the trip even more interesting for all of us. The trip down the river was beautiful. It was a great time all the way around, and we will be going again!

From the reservations to front desk to TJ our guide-everything was easy, pleasant and wonderful. We took the smaller raft (our 3 person family only) on the Upper Pigeon for added excitement and we got ! TJ had us surf a rapid and corkscrew through one...which only the smaller rafts can do on this river. TJ made our 14 yr old son's frist white water rafting a joy! The pictures/package were great!!!
