Not all rafting trips are the same, and that’s the fun of it! 🤩 Here are our 3 Spring experiences:

⛰️ Upper: Our most popular Class III-IV adventure for ages 8+.

🌊 Xtreme: Take on the same big rapids as the Upper but in smaller boats for faster and more technical maneuvering through rapids!

💧 Lower: Scenic Class I-II splashes perfect for ages 3+.
