My friend surprised me with a rafting trip with River Rat for my birthday. It was a very great day to spend on the River and our guide, Tommy, was thoughtful, informative and funny. The other two pairs that joined us were great as well. This section of the river is well suited for families and newbies alike. The water has a slight chill to it, which felt great on a hot, sunny July day. The guide that gave instructions and rules had a fabulous outgoing and funny disposition setting the tone for an enjoyable trip. I would recommend this trip and I intend to bring my family back for a trip. There is plenty of down time in the river that you can take a paddle break and enjoy the scenery and our guide gave us options to mix up experience, like flooding the boat, doing spins, getting out to swim and he even asked if we wanted to flip it. They are very thorough on instructions and safety precautions. The have warm showers to clean up after. Take photos during the trip and have a clean facility. Top notch outfit- Thanks
