Amazing day of rafting
Jess was a great guide, had a good time on the river, and a pleasant surprise with our 5th guest joining us during the last 1/5th of our journey (Indy)! Would recommend and do it again!

Awesome day
It was so sunny, very lucky, and the water was double than usual so the rapids were even better ans bigger waves. Gabe, the guide was really nice and friendly. Hot chocolate and hot dog were very appreciated. Thanks

What an amazing experience and team!
My partner and I went rafting with the team on the last day of their season. It was incredible! The team were all so upbeat, helpful and kind. We had Hannah as our raft guide, she was fantastic and gave us such a fun, adrenaline filled time to remember. Thanks to Hannah and the rest of the team, you guys rock. I wish I could add more stars ! Don’t miss out on this experience.
