No substitute for experience - There is no substitute for experience in a rafting guide. This time we got Big Billy and he made the trip perfect. The river was way up and we saw rafts from other companies flip and the people go floating by in the cold water. We went through everything easily on a very tough day. we will be back

Loved the trip. - Surfing/ getting wet was great fun. Sliding by the boulders- just missing the big rocks! Miguel was a fantastic guide. He had great questions, good information, and is a good pilot. We had fun.

Daytripping On The River - My wife and I went for an anniversary run and what a great choice we made! Our guide made the trip great and talked about history and geology of the area. He pointed out many areas of interest along the route and navigated us through the better parts of the river expertly. We stopped for snacks and a rest and continued on. We really enjoyed this run and hope to come back for a longer run later. This crew knows what they are doing and have fun with you. I would highly recommend for a couple or family!

Excellent trip! - Zach was a fantastic guide and the trip was a lot of fun! He told us interesting stories along the way, including local history as we passed by where it happened. He also gave us clear instructions of what to do as we needed it, enabling us to navigate well the rapids. We would definitely go again and we would ask for Zach!
