Our goal was to spend time together, doing non-risky, river fun. Goal achieved! Guides Ryan and Brad were full of knowledge about nature, history, and geography in addition to giving very clear and succinct directions about basic rafting. They even guided me in steering a smaller boat! Snacks included chips and salsa, hummus, crackers, carrots and celery, lemonade, and peanut butter, with chairs and shade provided. There is a dry bag for stowing electronics and backpacks.
