Hanna was AWESOME When we come back we will ask for her! we had an awesome experience and Hanna was the main reason it was so much fun!
Try the fun options the guide suggest...they are SO MUCH fun! The views are amazing. It was truly peaceful where it was slower and exciting when the water was rushing faster! The best of both worlds for sure!
This was a wonderful experience! We had so much fun!!! Safe, fun and awesome scenery! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the river and surrounding area!
It was perfect length for my family of 5 who mostly never been. Guides did a great job of leading and balancing fun with safety.
Steve was the mastermind behind a trip for some business professionals to combine work with pleasure….get to know each other while having fun. A couple of our kids were even able to come, making it a family event as well. A great time for all, I highly recommend Mountain Waters for your next adventure. Bad jokes and all!
Super family friendly - especially for my 9 yo younger neurodivergent child and my eldest. Shiloh was our guide and he was super cool engaging with both kids and us. He was very patient and made it a very positive experience which both kids are still raving about. Recommend for families with younger kids and limited rafting experience.
Great family fun for any age we had a group of 12, ranging from 7 to 60. Definitely nice for beginners and those who doesn’t really like rough rapids, it was calm most of the way had a few rapids here and there. If you want a family activity for everyone, this is it, if you want more intense, you would have to definitely book a different tour. Would definitely recommend it and do it again.
Our guide Rafe was incredible, he did a great job walking us through the experience and was so much fun! We loved it!!
We really enjoyed our early morning float down the river on 6-4-26. The entire staff was friendly, helpful and polite. Tristan was our river guide on the raft and really made the experience teriffic. Having read a book called "The Emerald Mile," Tristan and I had a great conversation as we floated down river and he shared many of his own experiences as a river guide. Super chill cat and knows exactly what he's doing in the water. Hope you get to experience a Dory one day Tristan! Highly recommend this excursion!
What to thank Hannah our guide for the wonderful experience. The boys had a wonderful time on the river.
