TJ and Payton were great guides for our 2 rafts (6 adults in one, 7 teenagers in another). The adults were a bit terrified, the teenagers excited - the upper river raft trip was super fun and exhilarating for all of us! We got plenty wet on the rapids without falling out too. All 13 of us LOVED it! You won't regret booking this rafting trip with SMO. From reservations to returning to their location (a bonus that you don't exit the river for a bus ride back like other companies), they have a very efficient and streamlines process. I highly recommend!

Well, thank you for this glowing review. We LOVE hearing from our guests. Glad you chose us to make your rafting memories. I understand being terrified at first. I was in those shoes at one time. Afterwards, nothing but exhilarating fun. Come back to see us!!!

What a great time for me and my family. A wonderful 2 hours with a great guide. We were very lucky to have Dean as our guide. Dean not only educated us as first time rafters but his was a historian of the area. We will definitely be back and will request Dean!!!!!
