We highly recommend Big Creek Expeditions. Everyone there was amazing and super friendly to work with. We have a 10 and 11 year old boys and they did great on the upper river. Our guide was Elton and he was fantastic! He was so informative and sweet! We look forward to doing it again next time we come for a visit.

My husband and I had a great experience at Big Creek Expeditions. This was our first whitewater rafting experience. This was a great starter experience. Our raft guide was great. Now we can’t wait to try higher level rapids!
