Amazing first rafting experience! - First time whitewater rafting and it was so much fun! The guides were excellent, the photographer got amazing action shots (additional cost but reasonable and totally worth it!) and we were even provided with wetsuits (a huge help since it was a chilly morning and we got soaked from the waist down). Gorgeous views of course and plenty of time in calm water before you hit the real deal at the end (listen to your guide and work as a team!). Loved it!

Fun for everyone. Don’t forget your sunscreen - Jon was a great guide! Lovely trip. Get there at 9, it was a waste of time bring early. Intro and safety talk started after 9:20. Can’t bring anything but a water bottle that has a loop with you. Don’t bring even dry bags.

Awesome raft / rapids 1-3 level / great guides - Diesel was our guide and he was great; told us about the history of the area and really knew how to raft. He gave us instructions on what we needed to do and it was a fabulous experience. Highly recommend this rafting company. Sorry no pics cause couldn’t take phones or anything that could get wet and you do get wet! We wore water shoes and other folks were strap on sandals or sneakers, but you really do need to keep your toes covered because you have to stick your foot into the raft and you’ll get bruised if you wear flip-flops or some sort of sandal and flip-flops are not recommended for that reason; would suggest you wear a swimsuit in case you want to jump in ( they stopped several times on the trip in common water so people could jump in and swim to cool off ) or at least wear clothes that dry very easily and wear sunscreen if desired because the sun does beat down pretty well on a sunny day. They do have a photographer that takes pics if you want to purchase the pics on a thumb drive. You do need to leave all your belongings in the car or in the case of us we used an Uber and left our stuff in the office.. so just be prepared that you can’t take anything with you on the raft.
