Went with them on their Jack River trip. Marcus was our raft guide and did an amazing job. He was personable, funny, and very informative. The trip was smooth and still fun as he expertly paddle guided us down. Another guide, Adrian came along to scout ahead and inform us of anything he spotted along the way so we knew where to look out for things. He also took us to a beaver dam and gave our group a great presentation on the local geology and wildlife. Afterward we even got to see a bald eagle on the side of the river! Their gear is top notch kept us warm and dry through the whole trip. The other guide Ian even got a bunch of photos of us out on the river! If you're wanting to take a rafting or kayaking trip and don't want to get stuck in the big crowds of other tourists, this is definitely the company to go with. It's an intimate, informative, and fun time. These guys definitely know their stuff!
