Very fun rafting trip. Not life threatening in the least. Class 3 and 4 with smooth spots as well. Just enough to be fun and keep the guide engaged. There were literally dozens of boats on the river at once from several companies. Don't expect a private tour. A few fell out of their boats on the class 4s but were fished out quickly as each of the rapids didn't last long and plenty of boats to pluck them out.

Glad to hear you had a good time on the river. It is one of the most popular rafting rivers in the country, and well worth it. I hope we see you again for your next adventure!

Had a blast!!! First time white water rafting for me. Our vacation consisted of "on a whim" for locations and things to do. Josh was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable (12 years worth). Thanks for a great time!

Thank you for the great comments about your guide Josh! He has been sharing his love of whitewater for a long time, and we are proud to have him as a part of our team.

Signed up for the Upper Pigeon trip and when you book online you can save $12 per person code was (MC12) (so def check into that). Our guide was Cory he was great, he was frustrated when no one listened to what he was saying and we (the crew) had to learn the hard way as 3 people went overboard and scooped back in with no issues. Once we listened it was smooth sailing well as smmoth as class3 & 4 rapids. You get to a point where you can jump out of the boat and swim a little. You will enjoy it so much that you will want to do it again asap. We tried to book another trip that day and they were booked. Def do this and I can't speak for the other guides but Cory was excellent and very nice!
