My husband and I had such a great time! It was both of our first times white water rafting, but now we're already talking about when/where we can go again! Our guide, Joan, not only made us feel safe as she guided our group of "vikings" through the rapids, but also made the already-fun trip even more fun with her humor. Highly recommended!

Hannah, this is so awesome to hear. We love to share our passion with our guests, and for you guys to leave wanting more whitewater is such a high compliment. Joan is an asset to our team, we are really lucky to have her on staff. Glad you had your viking paddle on. Be sure to bring it with you for your next trip!

We were a raft of 9 people! 4 adults, then a 15, 13, 12 and two 11 year olds! We had an absolute BLAST! Stoney was our tour guide! He had hilarious jokes, a lot of knowledge of the river and the rafting, and he made sure we had a great time! The kids absolutely LOVED the adventure. All said it was their favorite part of our trip! There’s even a section of water where they were allowed to jump/do flips off the raft and swim. HUGE HIT. We would definitely use Big Creek and Stoney again!!!
