legit could not stop smiling throughout the entire time we were here! the staff did an absolutely terrific job in making sure we were all engaged & participating during the hilarious safety presentation. our guide madison was amazing & did not miss a beat in pointing out and naming all the different rapids & landmarks all while laughing and joking right along with us! favorite part of the experience by far, was sitting on the front edge of the raft while going over one of the rapids, or as they dubbed it, "riding the bull". one of the most thrilling experiences of my life, 10/10 would do again. upper pigeon was definitely a good introduction for us beginners this time, but i think i can speak for our whole group when i say we'll be back next year to do the extreme upper pigeon rafting experience!
