Not going to lie I was a little skeptical about going on the upper pigeon rafting because this was our first time white water rafting and we have two kids between the ages 8 and 11 but Helana ( our guide) was very well trained, knowledgeable, funny, kind, patient and kept us safe during our rafting experience. We had a blast! It honestly was the best part of our trip!! We did a few class 2,3 and 4 rapids. I never once got nervous that we would flip over because Helena was so skilled and gave excellent instruction and direction on how to keep the raft from hitting rocks and keeping us from falling out. We had so much fun and entertained!!! Loved every minute! Oh yeah even the bus ride to the rapids was fun!! The young gentleman (tour guide) on the bus was entertaining. He was super funny and the bus driver was amazing as well!! All staff was pleasant. Another bonus was that the bathrooms, gift shop, rafts, equipment and bus were clean too.
