Great time even for physically challenged
Great fun. Entire staff was very nice and helpful. Even as we had issues getting in and out of the boat. The guide, whose name I can’t remember was funny and very informative. I’d do it again! Thanks for the memories!

A Must Do Adventure!!
We did the dry jet boat tour with guide Chris and driver Jordan. They were both great! Buying tickets online and completing waivers ahead of time made checking in so easy You could choose sitting in the front outside where you are guaranteed to get soaked. We chose inside the enclosed dome. We went through class 5 rapids and enjoyed watching the outsiders get hit with waives!
Guide Chris kept us entertained - total ride is 45 minutes. Just a side note - as a handicap traveler - I so much appreciate how accommodating ALL the employees were! Great family adventure !!
