- We had a great time! The water did not have crazy rapids, but the rafting was fun. Very beautiful scenery and our guide, Dustin, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Tanner was in the other raft and was also awesome.

A day on the river - We had a great time on the river. The weather was perfect as were the guides, Jason, Jake and Boyd. We saw an American Eagle and its young, went through a majestic landscape and some of us even got to cool off in the river. The guides were professional friendly and quite interesting. It was terrific!❤️

Great experience for all your senses. A must do for anyone after a fun and easy rafting experience - The rapids are graded mainly a1 with some level 2 rapids. It is great for beginners and kids and if you want a fun leisurely ride down the river. Very scenic. Tanner our main guide was exceptional. Very entertaining and improved the quality of the trip. Our raft guide Jason was also very good.
