"Top notch organization. Awesome customer service and a really great rafting trip. Can not recommend more highly. These folks were great. A+. Did the Middle Fork on the American river on 7/18. There were several other outfits on the river that day. Ours was the only group that got out of the river at the first Class IV rapids. All 4 guides in our 4 boats talked us through the rapids and then we got back in the boats and had the ride of our lives. Emphasized both safety and fun. I will definitely go rafting with these folks again very soon! "
