I was very unsure about taking my grands (ages 13 and 14) white water rafting, but I researched all the differant companies and called them, Big Creek was so nice and assuring. It was really no choice, we went with them. They were very professional and fun st the same time. Their first concern is safety then it's fun all the way! Our guide was Huey and he was fantastic, pointing out interesting things along the river. He got the kids involved, they loved the river and him so much that we came back and ran the river with him again in the afternoon! Would highly recommend!
