The Stu, the guide was great. The river was low and slow. Many rocks to maneuver around and few rapids. We also had to keep together with the group of rubber duckies so also was a negative in my opinion.

Really enjoyed our trip & Sam was very funny & knowledgable of the river. We will definitely use these services next time we visit the area.

Really enjoyed the water park area. Bobby our guide was great. It was a lot tamer than we expected. Would have been nice for a few more rapids & splashes but, I guess that’s up to the river
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Ahh yes, we are at the mercy of mother nature! Come back in June for some bigger water! :)

Shiloh did a great job providing a fun, but safe experience. Loved swimming down the rapid and enjoyed the trip very much.

We had so much fun! Our raft guide Brianna was the best. She literally pulled my daughter out of the water! So strong and did a great job! Please give her rookie of the year!
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Well, did she put your daughter in the water or was that a voluntary swim? I mean, for rookie of the year and all.
Thank you for the review!

We went rafting with our 4 kids (age 4-11) and had a great experience. Dory was amazing with our kids and helped them feel safe. It made our experience so much more enjoyable. All the staff were wonderful and wed highly recommend rafting with them.
