Our People

I am not a super fit hiker, but I am so glad that I took this tour! They were accommodating for all ages and experience levels, so props to them for sure – but it is definitely a hike up the side of a mountain, followed by a walk/slide down loose skree – so bring water and be prepared for an adventure! But the views are stunning, and the sense of awe and accomplishment at the end was amazing.

Amazing experience! These guys are so informative and explain everything so well that you feel very safe and know exactly what to do for every scenario. The whole time throughout the activity the guides explain about the area and how it’s enriched with history and culture. Jack, was our captain and he was great! Not only was it thrilling and heart racing but also was a beautiful place to see. So, worth it!

An absolutely EPIC experience! It was our group’s first time whitewater rafting, and we felt safe through the entire trip (thanks Ben!) – even when going over the highest commercially-rafted waterfall in the world! We couldn’t believe how much fun it was, we were all laughing and cheering and having a blast the entire time!

Another detail to note: It was a quick 10-minute drive from the headquarters to the river, which was especially nice on the drive back. Remember to bring a towel!

We are so glad we chose this outfitter. Everyone was fun, kind, professional, and took great care of us. Highly recommend!
