The guides Sunny and Kaia were so fun and sweet and very organized and skilled at coordinating everything, shout out to them! The experience was really special and it was a nice escape from the city. Beautiful river (Lehigh), could have spent all day on it! Definitely recommend :)

I have been on this trip twice now, and have every intention of making this an annual event! Sourced Adventures sees to every single detail, making for a seamless experience. We start the day on a comfortable coach bus and after voting on a movie, we hit the road. I would say the drive is about 2 hours. After getting settled at the campsite, it's time to get fitted for life jackets. We then have several training sessions, as safety is the top priority. Now it's time to raft! Not only is rafting a lot of fun, it is also a great workout. After rafting for a couple of hours, we stop eat lunch on a rock (there are vegetarian options available). Now it's time to get back in the water and raft back to shore! Oh- the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Once we return to shore, we have some time to shower and change. I HIGHLY recommend bringing the following items: A change of clothes (a cozy sweatshirt and sweatpants are ideal for the bus home, which can be chilly). A change of shoes (you will get wet on the raft!) Extra snacks (rafting is a big calorie burner!) Body lotion to apply after showering A hairbrush, for the ladies Overall, this is a great adventure for all types of occasions, and I look forward to rafting again next year.

I recently attended the Whitewater Rafting trip and was at the first bus stop at 7 AM for a 7:30 AM departure. I checked in with the Sourced Adventure team member Shay and she told me that I would be getting on a bus with a different leader as I was part of a larger group. She told me to wait inside and they would come get me before leaving. At 7:32 I walked outside and realized all the buses had left. I then had to run to the second location and have my group hold the bus so I could still make the trip. I was really dissapointed by this and the fact that no one from the company addressed this or apologized the remainder of the day.
