Full-Day Whitewater Rafting Family Adventure—Memories Made! - Our extended family (14 of us - all ages - adult, college , high school &middle school) had an awesome time. Shion was one of the best guides we have ever had for white water rafting. He made the trip extra fun for everyone. Anna was knowledgeable and experienced guide. Our group loved the "water slides" ,swimming with the rapids and jumping off the rocks in addition to the white water rafting. A very different trip than what we have done elsewhere in the past. A full day was perfect and the half day would have been too short for us. A good time was had by all ... even with having to drive two hours each way to get there ... everyone was happy we did it & agreed it was very worth it.

Great Trip! - This was my first ever rafting trip, though I went with some friends and their kids who have gone a handful of times. Our guide, Pippa, made it the most amazing first experience! She was professional and safe but also funny and personable. Her ‘dad jokes’ were very entertaining and she had so much cool information and history to share with us about the river and surrounding area! I’m glad that she was the one to introduce me to white water rafting, and now I’m hooked! Can’t wait to go back! :)

First time fun! - This was mine and my husbands first time. Our family told us what to expect, but their words could have never expressed the view. Or the laughter we all had.

Definitely Would Sign-up Again with the same company!!! - The views definitely was amazing. Bring a dry bag with a light jacket might help keep you warm during lunch time if you are doing a trip in June like we did. Lunch was also very generous with all the fixings, side dishes, cookies, fruit, coffee and hot cocoa. My son had both the burger and hot dogs. Although the water wasn’t cold, it was a little windy on some parts of the river. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the geological aspects of the area. It was fun learning. We were very well taken care of. The wet suite and quick dry jacket were also provided with the tour. The whole process of checking in and getting ready to completion of the trip was very well thought out and executed. We ended up with 119 pictures taken while we were rafting. And of course we chose to take all those home for $70 since we can’t decide on just one or two. Also, our guide greeted us at the parking lot when we first arrived. We loved the personalized service! Two thumbs up👍👍

Deschutes All Day Trip - We had an amazing time with Emmett as our guide. This was a family friendly trip on the Deschutes and was the perfect day trip from Portland. The lunch was a ton of food and the flexability of our guide to let the kids jump in and out of the water was a great fit for our family. We were glad we decided to the whole day trip as it was definitely worth it and worth the money.

Outstanding - The full day raft was one of the best we have ever done. Not only were the rapids fun and exciting but the chance to jump off a rock and slide down a water slide and to jump in and swim down river made the trip even more memorable. Our guide Wilson was excellent. He was skilled and good natured and very informative. We all highly recommend this outfit
