If you have never experienced white water rafting you should! We had an amazing time with our guides Cody and Mike K. Our group of 9 ranged in age from 16 to 48 and every one of us agree this was the absolute best part of our trip! Our guides were the best, very personable and engaging, they really made the trip exciting and fun!

SO MUCH FUN! You have to do it! And when you do ask for Jonny B. We hit the tour guide lottery when we got Jonny B as our guide. He was amazing. His confidence on the river made everyone feel safe and at ease. He went above and beyond to make sure our experience would be unforgettable, and it was! He works Tuesday and Saturdays so definitely try to plan. You won’t be disappointed! Hands down the best guide on the river.
