Our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers) spent the day with the AVA team and had a wonderful experience. We started the morning with with a very short introduction to our zip lining gear by our expert guides, Gage and Jess, who made us feel very comfortable with the equipment and their experience and concern for our safety. Then after a short bus ride to our starting point, we did a very short, 5-7 minute hike to the first zip line. Jess and Gage continued to put us at ease and talked us through every step of our journey, that would consist of 6 different zip lines. There were 10 of us in our group, which meant we did have to wait a bit between zip lines. This was great for those of us that needed a few minutes for our heart rates to subside before getting to the next zip line, though may be a nuisance for those seeking more action-packed adventure. The zip lines themselves varied in height and speed, with the hardest being almost at the end. There is also a point at zip line 3 where the faint-of-heart could have opted to stop. Though no one in our group decided to do that, Jess and Gage continued to let us know that was an option. And after that point, they continued to encourage us and make us feel comfortable at every next zip line. At the end of our 2 hr. adventure, we headed back to the main site of AVA to return our gear, get some water, and have our lunch. We opted to partake of the lunch that was included in the day-long package of zip line in the morning and river rafting in the afternoon. The lunch consisted of the same turkey and cheese wrap for everyone, along with an apple, a chip bag, and a cookie in a bag (no drinks included). For anyone like us who have some picky eaters, this option may not work. And there is no food available for purchase at the AVA main site -- though they do sell water shoes, t-shirts, rash guards, shorts, and other sundries (sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, water bottles, etc.). We definitely should have brought our own food and snacks, as there also isn't any place within reasonable driving distance to grab something quick -- even though we did have about 90 - 120 minutes to wait before our rafting adventure started. The rafting adventure had a lot more participants involved -- around 10 boats with 6-8 people per boat. We were in a boat of 6 (along with a group of 2 that we had met earlier in our zip lining crew) . Chris was our guide for this adventure. He was also the leader of all the other guides. He was very talkative and very funny. We were provided at the start with helmets, personal flotation devices and an oar. There was option for a wetsuit or a splash jacked. Since it was fairly warm and sunny at the main AVA site, we did not opt for the wetsuit or the splash jacked. However, after we rode the 25 minutes to the starting point on our very run down school bus, some of us wished we had opted for the splash jacked, as the wind had picked up and the water was extremely cold. We all did get very, very wet at times. We only went through grade 1, 2 and 3 rapids, so nothing was super dangerous, and we never felt like we were in danger, but we all did get very wet. We paddled for about 10 miles, with Chris giving us lots of insights into the history of the canyon and telling funny jokes and asking us about ourselves. All-in-all a fun way to spend 4.5 hours of our afternoon, though some of us were frightfully cold at the end of it all. Thanks to AVA -- and especially Jess, Gage and Chris -- for a wonderful day!

We did the Class 3 rafting trip where our guide, Alex, did a good job navigating us down the river. She was personable, shared tidbits about the landmarks and let us have fun on the river. The half day afternoon rafting went from 1:30 to 6:00 where there was some bus and unloadingloading time. I was glad to get the 20 action photos afterwards for $66 ($3.30 per photo). There were Go-Pro mounts on the helmets, so bring yours if you have one. AVA was good about safety with their pre-trip video and then followed-up while on-site; the Class 3 trip was good for younger rafters. We had 4 adults and a 16-year-old where the only thing I'd do different would have been to go for the Class 4 rafting. So.... if you have big people, go for the big rapids! Overall, great experience and added to our vacation memories!

Thank you for leaving us a review! We highly encourage your family to visit us again late June/early July for big rapids on our class V trips. You won't regret it!

We have rafted so many rivers, and the experience is always dependent on your guide. They have to be knowledgeable and dependable. Brooks was both! He had so much information to share, and was great fun while we were on the water. Now we know what the gold standard is! Thanks to Brooks for a great trip and AVA for a great experience.
