Awesome rafting - This tour looked so fun I decided for the first time in 62 years I had to do the trip with my husband and grandkids. I’m so glad we did! It was an awesome experience and not scary at all. And that’s all thanks to our guide Sam. He is a very experienced rafting guide and I felt calm the entire trip. It was so much fun! I highly recommend it!
