Our favorite part of the intro to rafting trip was doing it with our son, his wife and our grand children. It was a great family experience. Ryan, our guide was really good with the kids and informative about the river so they learned a lot about the Rogue and rafting. I cannot say enough about how qualified and skilled he was on the river. Even though the air was smokey from the fires, it was better on the river and not a problem. This is a wonderful rafting experience for the first time rafter, and for children. Just the right amount of white water, and an interactive experience for everyone. Exceeded our expectations !!!!
