If you have kids, you’ll be happy to know that children as young as 3 years old can join the fun! You don’t even need to be in excellent physical condition as there is no experience needed! Your entire group will be working together to paddle down the river as instructed by the guide, so everyone plays an important role in this epic journey! After the completion of your trip, there will be high fives all around as you celebrate with each other for a fun trip!

We capture pictures of your adventure that you can purchase from our office, so don’t miss the chance to bring home some photos of your family in action!

Don’t worry, we have plenty of lockers available on-site to store your camera while you raft!
