  • By Far Our Best Experience!

    “We have been white water rafting on many rivers in many states. This is by far our best experience. We had Erin as our guide and she was knowledgeable AND patient with us. She really knew the river.”

  • Far Exceeded Expectations!

    “The best experience! Far exceeded expectations! First time rafting and the guides were helpful and informative. Not only were they experts in training but had the best lame river jokes. Stayed entertained throughout. The photos and commentary were great too. Will definitely be back!”

    I’ve now done this full day adventure trip twice because I love it so much. When I had some friends visiting me from out of town it was the first thing I scheduled. What really makes it so good is the quality of the river guides. They’re so good at what they do; you feel safe while they create a super fun atmosphere for the trip. And the rapids are no joke.
