This adventure was awesome!! The rapids were super fun (nothing super technical/ intense, but mostly just big splashes) and the scenery was beautiful. The shuttle to the launch is about 1 hour and 30 min. The guides motor through the smooth waters, stop and provide lunch (chicken Caesar wraps, chips, a fruit cup, cookies, and electrolyte powder), take you though the rapids (about 40 min - 1 hour) and then motor on back to the dock again for the shuttle home, about 1 hour 10 min. Our guide Will is the only guide at NAVTEC certified to use the active paddle craft where you get to help paddle yourself through the rapids. We requested this at booking. The other boats have oars for the guides to use and you are just along for the ride. PSA you CAN bring beer :)
