Not disney! Even better!!!! - We had a great time. Smooth operation they had set up. Our family had teenagers 20, 17, and small one of 6. We all got on and had a blast very safely! Giselle, our guide, was informative, giving us history and facts of area. She was knowledgeable and professional with a funny kick.

Fun - It was a great experience. We had so much fun. I would definitely go again. I was a little nervous but the water levels where low so I think that made it fine for a beginner.

Once in a lifetime adventure - It was pretty organized and our guide Emily was great. Only wish there were lockers. Coming so far away we really had nowhere to put our personals safely. When they said we didn’t need the wet suits they were right on. Emily told us the history of landmarks along the river. Very nice experience.

Please keep the number of paddlers to 8 ppl max per raft. - We enjoyed the rafting experience. It was our grandson's 1st time. Our guide, Eli, told a lot of funny jokes while also navigating the raft expertly. My only complaint is how crowded our raft was. We had 9 people plus Eli. My husband is an experienced paddler and he stopped paddling bc he did not have enough room. There were 2 other rafts in our group, one had 8 ppl w guide and the other only had 4 ppl w a guide. We would've enjoyed our trip a lot more if we had 7 ppl in our raft and the other raft had 6 ppl. Please keep the number of paddlers to 8 ppl max per raft.
