Reviews
River guide Max was awesome and ensured we had a safe, fun trip. The scenery along the river was sensational! Highly recommend this trip!
Had a great morning half day of rafting with a few rapids. A good amount of flat sections to relax and take in the scenery. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and we had a lot of laughs. I would definitely come back and do this again or try out some of the other tours.
Fun from start to finish! They have a great little store with reasonably priced gear…everyone is helpful and friendly. Irving made the trip down the river fun, safe, and he taught us a lot about the area. Would highly recommend!
