This was the whole package deal: checking in online was easy, price was great, staff very friendly, gift shop well stocked and clean showers! Our guide Jedi Mike was absolutely amazing. Class 3 and 4 rapids that allowed for a great thrill! Thank you Mike!

I cannot say enough about how amazing this trip was! From the moment we walked in, we had a great experience. Everyone was welcoming. Our guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable about rafting, especially as our group were first timers. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone and can’t wait to come back on our next trip!!!
