First of all, let me say that this experience was beautiful. Absolutely perfect. Not only were the sights beautiful, but the water was incredible. No bugs. It was great. However, there was one thing that really pushed this trip over the top. Our tour guide Randy. He was incredible. I couldn’t imagine a better guide. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. He had answers to everyone of our questions and had tons of information that was interesting. We had a small 9 year old girl with us that was very nervous. He helped keep her calm and was very patient with all of her questions. I literally couldn’t imagine a better rafting trip. Thank you Randy!

We had one day left of vacation and wanted to do a rafting trip but there were multiple places to choose from. We ended up at SMO because they were closest to where we were staying. I am so glad we did! We had Aeron as a guide and she was fantastic! We had 6 people ranging from 9 to 41 and she kept everyone safe and we had a blast! Our 17 year old is even considering becoming a summer guide there because she loved it so much. There were just enough class 4 rapids to make it exciting with a nice mix of calm spells to give everyone a break. We were even able to swim for a bit. We will definitely be back! Helpful tip: Buy the pictures before you go out to save some $. We didn't because we didn't think we would buy them but they were fantastic so we had to get them :)
