Great Experience for the Whole Family - Tanner was an awesome guide who made this a great experience for our whole family (including our 7 and 9 year old). The beginner half-day trip was perfect. It was easy and safe with a couple of thrills. Our kids jumped in at the swimming hole and thought that was pretty cool too.

Great Family Rafting - Great guides! We were with Jake and he made the entire experience fun and easy. He gave us lots of historical tidbits and pointed out all the woodland creatures.

Loved our Rafting Trip! - My husband and I loved this half day trip. The weather in September is typically picture perfect and the river was lower and slower, which was fine by us. We got wet but not saturated. I'd recommend water shoes or water-ready sandals. No flipflops. Tanner, our guide, made the trip fantastic. He's a great guide. I appreciated his professionalism, stressing the safety concerns regarding rafting but doing so with humor and enthusiasm. Tanner was very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of rafting and the river. We loved his attitude, kindness and humor. We can't wait to repeat this trip in the Spring.

Fun down the Colorado with Tanner - Had a great white water rafting trip down the Colorado! Our guide Tanner was great - as he says “ a safety nerd”. He made it so much fun and we really enjoyed the trip!!!

White Water adventures down the Upper C - We saw some amazing scenery and had a lot of fun white water rafting down the upper Colorado river. Our guides Dustin (aka Crush) and Corbin were knowledgeable and fun. The river was fairly tame with a few areas of rapids. I would recommend this trip for mild thrills and maximum fun.

Float not white water - Not what I would consider white water rafting. It was a very beautiful scenic float. Time of year determines float vs white water rafting. I wish description would tell you that when booking. Not what we or anyone else on the float was expecting.
