This was our first time white water rafting and it was so much fun! Our guide, Hughey was fantastic! I was a bit nervous at first since my 10 yr old triplets were aboard, but he quickly proved that I had nothing to worry about. He was in control of our raft at all times and went out of this way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. He was fun and very personable! Our 1.5 hrs on the river was one of our favorite things we did on our trip! Thanks Hughey and Big Creek Expeditions for this awesome experience! We'll be back!
