My husband and I really enjoyed this activity. Ray Ray was our guide. He was funny and very knowledgeable. He made the adventure a great experience. Definitely recommend him.
At 65 years old and reasonably fit (but not athletic) I was a bit anxious but Ray Ray was reassuring and his guide experience made the trip a joy. We were assigned to a raft with a very pleasant family of 6. The river was flowing at 7000 cubic feet per second (2.5X the usual flow), making for a beautiful, stimulating ride! Half way through the trip, AOG provided a nice lunch (cold cuts, cheeses, fruit salad, corn salad, chips and salsa, pudding) and also provided soft drinks or beer on the bus ride back to the starting point. We enjoyed jumping off the raft and swimming in a calm part of the river with a water temp in the low 50s. The sun was warm and the air temp was in the low 80s.
The restaurants, overlook, camp grounds, and pool at AOG were very nice but wish they had more accommodations for couples. Most are designed for families and large groups.
The only thing I think could be improved is the management of the photography. Photos are taken before boarding the raft and along the rafting trip. The quality of the photos is good but the cost is quite high. Plan on spending a pretty penny if you want photos!
