Absolutely great experience! The guides were terrific and the organization was top notch. Our group had a ton of fun! One thing I'd recommend is buying good "water" socks - the creek is cold and you'd want your feet to be insulated. You can buy it on the spot (around 25 dollars) but it's significantly cheaper on Amazon

Brooke Boelman was a fantasic booking agent! She listened to my requests and didn't force me to book a date or time until I had all my information to make a decisions. She was very friendly and helped reassure me of my fears about rafting. Couldn't be more happy with the booking and overall experience.
NICOLE WAS THE BEST. She was very informative, stressed safety much more than she needed to, and was very easy to understand. She made us feel important but r I can't imagine being with a better guide.
