We had the best time! My husband and I took our 5 children (aged 9, 10, 11, 14 and 16) and it was our first whitewater experience as a family. Our guide, Joe, was fantastic and we learned so many interesting things from him. The rapids were fun, but not scary, and it was a great first experience for the whole fam. Wear shoes with straps- flip flops were not allowed to 2 of us had to wear booties from NOC. Great experience- highly recommend. We didn’t bring cameras, so no photos in the boat (you can buy photos at the end) but we got an insider recommendation from Joe on a great place to swim after- Fingerlake about 10 minutes from NOC. It was beautiful and we had a great time swimming!
