Great experience! Enforced safe practices. (River Rat across the way, a shuttle full of people unloaded and no one was wearing a mask.) About $140 total for 4 person trip - very worth it! Chill with adult friends or 'adventurous' with younger kids. I took 2 kids, no paddle experience, let them paddle us through ' 'white water rapids'. Lots of fun

First time rafting ever and I loved it! Will definitely be back on a regular basis. If you're doing the two car thing just know it will take you about 20 minutes to get to the other parking lot and another 20 minutes to get back to the main rental parking lot (approx. 40 mins total). So plan ahead!

I have been there three times this summer and it's the best experience. The shuttle driver Becky is the best. Definitely will be going again.

Great set up and easy to use. For $20 they will bring raft to boats edge for u. Bring food, a speaker, sunscreen and a cooler and your set. I am already planning another visit.
