We had a great time on our rafting trip. Our family group had two seniors, a 40-something year old, and a 9 year old. Everyone had a fantastic time. Our Guide, Ara, was fantastic and obviously knew the river and how to guide a boat very well. Lunch was great and the whole trip was a blast. Ara made everything fun and pointed out all the interesting things along the way. Highly recommended for people of all ages.

This was my first time whitewater rafting and I loved it so much that I’m probably going to make the trip a yearly tradition for the foreseeable future. All of the guides were so friendly and helpful that any nervousness I had quickly disappeared, and they made sure we had a blast all day. The views throughout the entire excursion were absolutely gorgeous and a must see for all Arizona desert lovers. Even the drive to get to the canyon is amazing. On the day we went the rapids were on the milder side (in my subjective opinion) but that just makes me even more excited to try going when the waters are more intense. Even 3 days later I still can’t stop thinking about how much I loved every minute of the day. My only regret is not booking a trip years ago! The guide for my group was Bible, & at one point I misheard a comment he made which made me think he was mispronouncing the word “Chippewa” so I sort of laughed at him. In actuality he was correctly pronouncing the word “Cibecue” and I was the one that was wrong. Please let him know I apologize if I was being rude, and I’m sorry if I confused him. Sometimes you can’t trust us locals, I guess. He was a fantastic guide - pointing out different plants, talking about some of the history of the area, making some jokes, and just providing pleasant conversation. We really loved his outfit too!

The tour company and our guide Sloan were absolutely amazing! We learned a lot and had a great adventure. Shiloh was the guide of the other boat that day, along with the ride back and he too was funny and informative. We really appreciate the whole team and would definitely tour with them again.

This is such a scenic river with great views of the canyon. The rapids were exciting but not too rough for us who don't have any experience. Our guide Shilo was great, he was very skilled and very knowledgeable about the river and surrounding area. He worked hard to make sure me and my family had fun and we did! Great job to everyone on the team. Would definitely recommend this group.
