I was thinking this ride would be more of a float having a little 65lb-er on board with us this trip but, I was wrong. The Shoshone rapids were the perfect mix of thrilling moments through rapids separated by calmer waters where I could safely take some pictures and even a quick dunk in the water. Our 11 family members were divided onto two small rafts and consisted of parents, teens and kids as young as 8 years old. Our guides; Jeremy & Brad, were awesome! They were professional when needed with safety info and COVID precautions and then hilarious and fun elsewhere. It's obvious these guys LOVE what they do; at 8am they easily got our crowd pumped on the bus, with music playing and a little dancing. We had so much fun on this trip! We will definitely come back to raft with Defiance!
