These guys do everything right… from the cost, to the preparation, to the guides, to the size and type of the boats, to the gear… couldn’t have asked for anything more. Our guide Jim was phenomenal… funny, knowledgeable, experienced, and made our trip all the better… Wouldn’t use anyone else for a rafting trip in this part of the country. Can’t recommend them enough!
