There were 5 adults in our group. Less than 24 hours before 1 adult fell and tore his rotator cuff so he was unable to go. They gave us a full refund for him. The rest of us were able to go and we really hated to tell him that it was the best white water rafting we had ever done! Dudley was our guide and he was amazing. We really enjoyed the experience. So worth the money! I would definitely go again

We had a blast going down the Upper Pigeon river with Johnny B. Had us going down the river with ease. We had four people that never went white water rafting, and two that had went rafting couple times with other companies. We went surfing multiple times while other rafters only did it once at best. He had us in the right spot to experience all the action at every set of rapids. We got to swim in some of the less rapid areas and Johnny yoked us back in the boat with ease. He obviously enjoys what he is doing. Request him.... You won't be sorry!!!
