We originally were booked for the full day, Hellgate trip, with milder rapids. Our friends signed up for the Thrill Seeker but we wanted to keep it mellow.
However, on the way to Merlin we had car troubles and were going to miss the 8:00am meeting time. I called letting them know we weren’t going to make it and was hopeful they could get us on an afternoon trip. They were unable to get us on our original trip but was able to get us on the afternoon of the Thrill Seeker with the group of friends. Yay! Great customer service!
Now the trip, I swore more than I ever had before! The two class IV rapids are intense! Even more so when you’re praying your child stays in the boat too (even if he is a teenager that is over me worrying about him!). I believe our guide was Sara? But I’m not sure. She was great and assured us we’d be ok, even if we were tossed out of the boat. Thankfully we all remained in the boat, just knocked around a bit.
I only wish the afternoon trip was longer and included more rapids but alas, that’s what we get when we missed the morning portion.
I would book with Orange Torpedoes again, especially given they were able to accommodate us after missing our original trip.

Julie,
We were really happy that we could accommodate your schedule change and still get you on the river, even if it meant moving up to our much more challenging Nugget Falls trip. I love your honesty, “I swore more than I ever had before.” Intense experiences sometimes call for intense language and class IV rapids can certainly be an intense experience.
Thanks for joining us. I hope we get to see you again soon!
