Great Company to tour with! - Went with my 65+ year old parents. It was beautiful and very fun. The guides are more experienced and trained than their competitors. Make sure you wear water shoes, you’ll be getting your feet in the river to get into your boat. Well worth it!

Great trip but no photographer - The scenic float ride activity itself deserved 5 stars. Our guide Jim-Bob was knowledgeable, comical at times, and steered us in the right direction. However when we got to the boat launch, the guides looked around and noticed the photographer hadn’t shown up. A few riders had cell phones and took a few pictures, but most people left their phones behind. This is deeply disappointing. The confirmation papers clearly state that the cost of professional photos is not included in the price. Makes you assume you can leave your cellphone safely behind. I was counting on purchasing the professional photos so we would have a few great pictures of this special adventure, but unfortunately now we have none.
