So much Fun! - We love the fact that Wiley was safety forward. Yet did not come off as a bore. We felt safe and comfortable the whole trip. Only downside is our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing. We had an absolute blast! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Fun in the sun - We had a great time. I was smiling the entire time. It was a nice way to beat the heat. We learned more about the river and town and laughed and laughed.

Great time. Highly recommend. - My husband, sister, her husband and I had a great time during our boat ride. I’m not a speed or thrill ride junkie, and this trip was just perfect for me. High speeds and some fun turns but always felt in control. My sister did get some motion sickness so we stopped the turns and just enjoyed the boat ride. The info about the dam and the converging rivers was very interesting. I love the pictures and the videos taken. This was a nice extra touch to allow us to just sit back to enjoy the ride.

A Fun Experience, Definitely Recommend ! - What a fun experience! We did the 15 mile ride. Wiley was professional, safe, and informative. We all enjoyed the ride. It was scenic and we had a blast with the whoop-di-doo turns. Wiley let us know when to expect them, which was helpful. The pictures and video are great mementos to have. Would definitely recommend!

Old farts enjoyed it! - My spoyse and I are in our 60’s and Wiley made us feel like kids again! The boat ride was exciting and fun. He even took time to show and explain the sites, including finding some bald eagles! Highly recommend for anyone
