We had a perfect white water rafting trip with Big Creek!! Our guide was named Alyssa, and she was outstanding. She gave clear instructions, and we had an awesone time. All thrill and excitement, no fear or accidents. She even let us jump in to swim and managed to pull up my 6’4 fiance back on the boat after our swim!! The check in was smooth & the safety instructions were great. Thanks! Highly recommend and would come again!

We had a such a fun, exciting, and informative ride with our guide, Jedi Mike. He gave us lots of information about the surrounding area and gave us an all-around water rafting experience that was such a blast. I would highly recommend this place and our guide!

We had a great time! Staff, guides and all who we encountered were very friendly and funny! Our guide for the Upper River was Shane and for the Lower River was Kayla. They both did amazing in their own unique and funny style!
