Would go again and again! - Wonderful experience. Great staff! They walked us through everything before we hit the water. Felt very safe the entire trip. The scenery is awesome.

Great for first timers - We had a great time. Kevin was a great tour guide. The day was hot and the water was clear and cool. Did not get as wet as I thought we would, unless you jumped in the water, which you had an opportunity to do about half way through. No special equipment needed. They have everything you need.

DownStream is the best.....trust me I did the research - Amazing, we had an awesome guide (Tanner) and an amazing time as well. We were able to meet the owner who was about as good as they come! Thank you for the hospitality! ***Matt's Friend - june of 2024

Perfect experience for first timers! - All the guides were kind, and patient and knew what they were doing. They made us feel safe which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience even though we had never done something like this before. Henry was our guide in the raft itself and he helped us navigate the river in a fun, exciting, and informative way. We were 4 in total with two teenagers so it was perfect for having enough paddling force. We noticed another raft that had a family with young children and it was adorable because the little ones sit in the middle and enjoy the ride while the parents and guide do all the work.

Large group with LOTS of kids - We had a group of 46, and from the moment I called, it was smooth. Waivers were clear, payment was easy. We got there, and were set up with the safety instructions and gear. We had kids from 6 up and everyone had so much fun. Tanner was amazing as a guide, and we appreciated his sense of humor and knowledge and had a lot of laughs. Swag was appropriately priced, and we would do it again in a heart beat.

Great all around experience from arrival to end of tour - We had a wonderful experience, especially due to our engaging tour guide Curt, middle name Eric. We went on the beginner level tour and Curt made it a memorable experience for the kids and the adults. This is a great way to experience the area in water, and learn about the sites to see when out of water. We have already recommended Downstream Adventures and Curt to a family visiting Winter Park in a few weeks. A great time.

Great place other than lady greeting you. - Everything was great on our trip. Savannah, our guide was absolutely wonderful. The only reason I do not rate this a a five star is, because the lady working the counter in the shop the lady that greets you when you come in her attitude needs a little bit of adjustment. She may be the owner, I don’t know, but she should receive people friendly happy and serviceable, but instead it’s almost like she didn’t want to be there. But Savannah the guide, is a rockstar.
