Request a guide – You can ask for a guide who is safe, experienced, funny, good with kids, adventurous, even cute. Tell us your concerns early – If you are already on the river, it’s probably too late. When making your reservation or when checking in, let us know if you need special assistance, are worried about anything, or want us to make it extra special for someone in the group. We’ve supplied birthday cakes, worn Chippendale bow ties, searched out Big Horn Sheep, we’ve even catapulted water bottles into a passing raft that forgot theirs. Dress warm – Some days its 90 degrees in the morning and raining and 60 during your trip. Ask what you should wear during check-in, we’re here to help and never up-sell or advise against your best interests. If you over dress, you can take it off. If it’s in the car, you’re going to be cold ’til you get there. Choose the most exciting trip you have the courage for. Most disappointed guests say, “Next time I’ll do the big rapids”. Don’t let it happen to you, if you are deciding between two trips, go for the more difficult one. You can do it! Don’t be late – Every trip has a group that arrived 2 minutes before scheduled departure. We cannot hold up 40-140 people to wait for you, though we wish we could. Forgetting sunscreen and still wearing your work shoes because you were in a rush won’t make the trip more fun. Bring your friends – Rafts hold 8 guests, so if your group is 4 remember you’ll have other people in there with you. They might be very different from you, all types go rafting. Bring a big group and you set the tone. You also get a discount for groups of 8 or more!
