Nature at it's best - Sydnee and her husband were a great team! A wonderful experience even with the smoke haze from close fires. Engaging and memorable. Love how they share photos so you can see the excitement. Highly recommend and know you are supporting a small business.

Fantastic day rafting! - We have a fantastic rafting trip today. Pickup was prompt with an easy bus ride to the start area. The river was thrilling through the rapids but was well managed and super safe. We will definitely do this trip again. AMF Rafting and Sydnee were great!
