Family owned and operated, and geared towards families that want a more personal experience. - Such a fun low key rafting experience. We did the lower portion because we had some younger kids with us but the guides were amazing with the kids. The guides learned their names and gave specific tasks for each kid to keep them engaged. The rapid portions were just enough to get your heart rate up a smidge. There were 3 parts along the 5 mile trip (~90 minutes) to get out and swim which was refreshing. We played a little bumper boat / splash attack with the other boat from our group. Rip Roaring is a small family owned business toting around their boats on a trailer pulled by a 15 passenger van. There were a total of 12 rafting companies out there and their groups were ginormous utilizing 6-10 boats and transport was in an old school bus. Our group was just small and the experience was more personable. Definitely not the McDonalds version the other companies were offering. Our entire family that went wound up being a total of 12 people total, 6 in each boat. It was just good fun all around.

Best time on the Pigeon - We couldn't have been more pleased with Rip Roaring Adventures! We had some special request and everyone there really stepped up. Some kayakers and some rafters. Andy, the Chief Operating officer, and Raea the office manager - set our family up for a great day on the river! Mike our guide, provided safety, experience, and comic relief. Let's not forget Mary, the friendly face behind the counter, who immediately made you feel welcome. We had the best day of our trip with Rip Roaring Adventures. Thank you!
