We had Joan as a guide and she was the best. I felt very comfortable with her leading us. Her commentary was a great plus- very funny! Loved getting to experience “surfing” with her, she was very confident and there was not a single moment I didn’t feel safe! Definetly would ask for her as a guide!! 10/10

From our first call, to the people in the office, to our awesome river guide Joey, this is a first class operation. The people were great, informative and fun to be around. The run on the class 3 and class 4 rapids in the river was a lot of fun. Our guide Joey was totally awesome, informative and fun to be around. He loves the water and knows it well. We had an awesome time and my wife, son and I highly recommend it. When we came back, there were free showers and a place to get changed. There is also a gift shop with reasonably priced memorabilia. Thanks Deb and Joe for a great day.

"A first class operation." I am a little it biased, but I agree. I am delighted to hear that you had an all around great experience with Big Creek Expeditions. Joey is exceptional, and we are lucky to have him on our team. He is passionate about his job and it really shows. Deb is also a huge asset serving as our office manager and my right hand woman. We hope to have you back again soon and genuinely appreciate you choosing Big Creek Expeditions.

We rafted with Stoney and had a fantastic and very memorable experience. He was talkative, friendly and knowledgeable about the river. He even gave us suggestions for other local places to visit and other great rafting places across the country. We greatly enjoyed our trip.
