    What a great company

    Went down the river for my future daughter in laws Bachelorette party. So fun. What a great company to work with. When I called with questions the gal that that called me back was more than helpful. I would definitely utilize this company again.

    So much fun

    So much fun, but would be better if the tubes had a head rest super straining on the neck!!!

  • Keri Lynn

    We had a blast!

    After trying a few other companies this is by far my favorite to float with! Entrance, exit and transportation from the river was a very smooth process! The water was low that day, however the staff explained how they had personally tested the river a few days prior with tips on how to float efficiently to make the best of our time! Wonderful communication about safety as well! We had a blast!
