My husband and I went on a white water rafting adventure today on the upper pigeon river with our guide Steve… it was awesome!! It was definitely an adventure! Lots of fun, a little scary at times too which made for an unforgettable experience! Lots of laughs:) The rapids were such a thrill, at times, super peaceful and always so beautiful out in nature. Steve was an amazing guide and we definitely recommend him! Personable, professional, kind and informative! We give this company 5 stars all around - This was one of the best experiences of our honeymoon trip.
