Must do - This was an outstanding day with unbelievable professionals. The Kayaks travelled about 21/2 miles down the river and back after a long hike to a waterfall across streams and small paths. I would recommend this experience for anyone to enjoy!

Should have postponed due to weather - Trip should have been postponed due to rain. Mud and walk to the falls was slippery and climbing over wet boulders is not my idea of a good time. Several fell and my BF fell hurt his shin. To finally walk through a river that was rising and moving quickly then we had about 15 minutes at the waterfall. I had 2 bites of my sandwich and we packed to leave. Some of our clothes we will need to discard. Not a good time not worth $150
