I think folks should know 100% upfront that injuries do happen everyday on the Rapids. That if you fall out of the boat it is very likely that you will be injured. It is not for young kids at all even though it is rated for age 8 and up. We rafted on 7/15/17 and had Patrick as a guide. We did tell him that none of the people in our 6 person group had ever rafted. When we got in the raft I asked if seating location mattered because we had some big guys with us and he said no. As soon as we hit the first rapid the boat flipped. All but one of us came out. Of course the said with the most weight went over. The water is moving extremely fast and their are lots of concrete pillars and others obstacles in the water. Once you are in the water it would be very hard not to get an injury. 3 of the 5 of us ended up with injuries and the other two were lucky to just be sore and banged up. One of the injuries was too a leg and it was banged so hard against an obstacle in the water it cause a blood clot and swelling. The other was a horrible bruise to the spine which could have been a lot worse if he had hit any harder. I will say that they do have people on the sides ready to help save you but it all happens so fast that you are injured before you can be saved. Some of us ended up under the boat and took in lots of water. There was no getting back in the boat. We rode the rapids down under the water. It was a very life threating event. I would not allow my child to take this risk. I almost brought him because it looked like fun and I know they have you sign waivers but I of course thought like most people that if it wasn't safe they wouldn't keep doing it. I was wrong. It is only safe if you stay in the boat. I think more information needs to be given to the guest in advance about how many injuries are sustained. This way people understand that the waiver is not just a precaution for the business but there is a really chance you will get hurt. I am sure this would be a very fun activity if you stay in the boat. I also think they need to raise the age limit. There is no way my 12 year old would have been able to handle falling out of the raft must less an 8 year old.

First of all, there were nine people in our party and we all had a great time! Kennedy was an awesome rafting guide, he really made the adventure a lot of fun! As a first time visitor, here are some of the things I wished I knew or wanted to know. 1.) Arrive early, it was crowded and the lines were fairly long at 10 a.m.! 2.) Book more than one rafting excursion at a time. We chose an 11:30 a.m. time and then immediately went to book another for 2:30 p.m. It would have saved us some time to just book two in advance. 3.) Fill out the waiver on-line, each person in your party will need one. It will save you time at the desk when purchasing your tickets. 4.) The restaurant had a nice variety of food which was good and fairly reasonably priced, but the line was looooong around lunchtime. In the future we may opt to eat a picnic lunch at our car or leave and come back. 5.) Parking is $5.00. You can leave and come back during the day and not have to pay again. 6.) Each rafting trip you schedule includes a training time and four trips around the rapids. Plan for an hour total time. We have already planned a trip back in August. Due to rain (boo!) we didn't have time to experience anything put the rapids. Looking forward to another great time (minus the rain!!)

Kennedy and Pat were the "most awesome" guides, period, hands down. I have rafted 4 times in Colorado and in Wyoming. I was skeptical at first based on prior experiences with "real" rivers. We went around the rapids 3-5 times and it was a great time. It's a different experience because you aren't on a 5 hour trip and it's man made, but the rapids were fun and the guides made the experience so much better. Couldn't have asked for a better time.
