Important information

Know before you book

  • If everyone in your group isn’t up for the challenge of an inflatable kayak just yet, they can go along in a raft with a guide at the same time!
  • This is a more independent trip option that doesn’t always come with a kayak guide, but our raft guides will be there to give you instruction when you need help.
  • This trip is a bit of a workout! The big, beautiful flat water sections and intermittent rapids will have you paddling most of the time.
  • If you opt for the double kayaks, they can be bit more challenging than the singles because they are longer, heavier, and require coordination to maneuver together.

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!

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.
