Great way to whitewater raft for beginners! - I was extremely nervous about rafting, as I had never done it before, but was told that this was the best way to experience the National Park. I am very grateful that I booked this experience! My fiancé and I had a great experience, and our guide, Scotty O, did a great job of making sure everyone had a great time. It was clear that he was experienced and wanted to make sure we got the best experience. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone else visiting the National Park.

ACE was aces - ACE Adventure gave us a great day on the river. Me, my wife, and our 3 teens had an amazing time.
It was well organized from the time booked online until we reached our car to drive home. Our river guide, Kenedi, was knowledgeable, skilled, and personable. It was our first time rafting, and we loved every minute of it.

Great time - Rafting was great. Johnny O, our guide, was the best. He has 35+ years of experience on the river. Explained everything about every rapid we encountered. The places to go if you fall out as well as the places not to go or be. He gave us an experience other guides couldn't because of the time he has spent on the river. Next time we go it will be a full day trip for sure.
