We had a great trip! Super organized and our guide was fabulous. Would use again!!
Book with the company directly. Trip Advisor jacked up the prices. The reading was great though and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
I gave it 5 stars, but, in reality, I’d like to give it 4.7 because the water was cold (we’re from South Texas)…I’m just kidding. We had THEE Absolute BEST time. My kids all enjoyed it, especially my son, who got to “ride the bull!” We can’t wait to come back, hopefully, Aaron will be our guide again!
Super fun family experience! Our guide was awesome and made the rafting even better.
Great experience. We had so much fun. It was everything I was hoping it would be. First time experience
