Huey was our guide and he was awesome. We were a family of four heading home from vacation and decided to stop and raft. We had the best time! Huey shared great stories and fun facts all the way down the river. Would definitely recommend it. Ask for Huey!

We had Johnny B. for our white water rafting guide and he was amazing!! None of the people in my party had rafted before, but instructions were clear and it came a lot more naturally than expected. Johnny made it so much more fun with extra tips and tricks to really maximize the experience like surfing some of the rapids for extra time. He made it feel super safe and ensured everything went super smoothly without it being boring. If you go here, request a trip with him for the most excitement for sure! The other staff was all very friendly as well! Super great experience all around
