6 of us, ages 12-66 went on a beautiful Wednesday. Andrew was our guide and he made this rafting trip a 5 star experience. The joy of white water rafting is that the customers provide the speed but the guide steers the raft per their experience for the best spot to hit the rapids. A good guide reads the crew and picks a harder or easier experience to get the best ride for those in the raft. The river doesn't make the trip, the guide does, and Andrew hit a homerun. We saw at least 30 rafts on the river that day, and it was my observation that the Big Creek Expedition rafts had the biggest smiles on their paying customers.

We were very impressed with being able to have our whole group of 9 in one raft! Justin was our guide and he showed great skill on our float. We are all senior citizens and this could have been a problem but Justin made it a vacation highlight. His mother “ raised him right”! He has great skill navigating the river and we had a great time.
