Well organized and the info about the difficulty of the rapids was spot on! Greg was a very thorough and knowledgeable guide and kept us in the midst of every rapid. This was not a float!! Would highly recommend this for people who have rafted before. Can’t wait to use this team on the Gore Canyon trip! Also liked that this is a small \new company with a personal touch, not like the other huge mass companies we looked at!

First time whitewater rafting and we went with the beginner ride. It was a lot of fun! Our guide, Amanda, was awesome. We were 4 adults and now feel we could have probably done the intermediate. They went over all safety thoroughly and Amanda was very knowledgable about the river, and the area, sharing information along the way. If we come back to this area, we will definitely come back to do it again and go for the more challenging course. Front desk and all the raft guys were amazing. Highly recommend it!
