He was so good with her and kept talking to her and getting her to enjoy the scenery. The trip itself is beautiful and relaxing. There were a few welcomed splashes along the way to cool us down and provide a few laughs. I whole heartedly recommend this trip for any family with young children but our 14 year old loved it as well. The entire crew was genial, professional, and informative with a heavy focus on safety. It was so much fun that we're already talking about doing it again. read less

Everyone was helpful and courteous. As we drove to the put-in, we received part of the safety information, and we received further instruction once we arrived. When you do The Numbers, you don’t have a lot of time to adjust to paddling and get in sync before you’re at your first rapids, but Corey made sure we did a few practice paddles and turns before we hit number one. As we made our way down the river, it was very apparent that Corey knows this river like the back of his hand, always previewing what we need to look out for next. Very reassuring! I’ve done a fair bit of whitewater, but the trips are usually a little more low key. This was almost constant rapids, and it was much more involved that what I’ve done before. Definitely a welcome change - it was a blast! If you’re looking for a more adventurous route, I’d recommend The Numbers, and definitely recommend The Adventure Company. read less

I highly recommend going with the Adventure Company. These guys were very communicative with me prior to the trip and provided me with clear and simple instructions on exactly where to go, what to bring and what to expect for the trip. We did the full day advanced trip down the Numbers. It was packed with edge of your seat exhilaration between pockets of calmness for you to get your head right and check to make sure everyone was still on board. The guide was friendly, entertaining, very skilled in helping us navigate the rapids. Lunch was ample and delicious. The entire trip was timely and well worth the money. This is one of those experiences that you talk to your friends and family about for many years to come. Highly recommended if you want to do something awesome. read less
