This was my first time white water rafting. Our guide, Shane, was so informative as we pelted him with questions about the river, and other geographical/local questions. Thank you, Shane, for your patience and knowledge! We made so many memories!

Can’t say enough about positive things about Big Creek Expeditions!!! From the office staff to the guides our experience was great! 2 boats of 4 with Stoney with one boat and Justin with the other. They were great! Everyone in our group had a blast and we would definitely raft with them again. Big Creek certainly set the bar high! We would absolutely recommend them!
