Our group had amazing experience rafting with Jonny B! He was knowledgeable, fun, and hilarious! We will definitely return and request him as our guide again. We had such a memorable trip!

Rafting with BGE was absolutely awesome. The check-in was a breeze, initial instruction thorough, to the point and efficient, and we were quickly off to all the fun. The trip is perfect introduction to rafting for our family (two kids, 12 and 15). Our guide, Mr Frank, is the best guide you could ask for. Obviously, very experienced in rafting, making us feel safe and very engaged in the activity, learning all about the sport. But not just that. Mr Frank is also very knowledgeable of the nature in there area, teaching us so much about the local habitat and its history. If you choose BGE, you won't regret. Especially if you request our guide, Mr Frank.

We had an excellent time white water rafting. Johnny B was our guide, and he was fantastic. I could not recommend this place and Johnny B enough. Next time we're in the area we will be returning and requesting him again for another great expedition!
