Had a great time with a friend group. Our river guide Anna did a incredible job from beggining to end. 10 out 10 would recommend going down the river with her!

First time white water rafting was awesome! My husband has been before and wanted to go with the kids for Father's Day so we booked a trip and took our college age kids. We booked with the West Forks location so it was slightly better IMHO because we were closer to pickup and dropoff. Our guide, Anna, was awesome as were all of the employees I met. It just happened to be the coolest day of July (low 60s) and so we were a bit chilly without wet suits but it was manageable. Consider wet suits if it's less than 70 and the guide will carry a water bottle and snack for you if you want, so I suggest bringing something like that as well. Food at the end was excellent and included in the ticket price. I would definitely recommend!!!! The class 3 and 4 rapids were manageable and exciting. We got out and swam a rapid and you could swim in the calmer section of the lower portion if you wanted to. The views were amazing. Definitely an unforgettable experience!

What a great rafting trip. We did the Kennebec river on short notice. Chris was a fantastic guide, as good as I have ever had on a trip. Prep, navigation and excitement done well. I recommend going from the forks location as it shortens the bus ride significantly. The meal at the end was superb
Response from the owner:Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing, come back and see us again!
