Wonderful experience for the 3 of us! James was a great guide who shared his knowledge of the area. Many laughs and spectacular views! Absolutely love that the Raft Tour is dog friendly! There was a delay due to miscommunication with other passengers but the team handled it well and it didn’t effect our time on the river. Would recommend to anyone!
