Great experience - So much fun! Perfect day, our guide, Emily, was really nice. The rapids were very mild, which is what I needed for my young children. It was just a really good experience.

Money well spent! Awesome experience! - This trip was an absolute blast! We simply cannot praise Elijah enough as he was fun, safety-conscience, a super nice guy and an awesome guide! The rapids were mild, but still a lot of fun and highly recommend for anybody traveling to the area. The people at the front of the house were also really nice and the experience was A+ all the way around—would highly recommend.
