GREAT TIMES! Book this trip with this company ASAP. It was four of us - myself, my wife, 19 year old son and 14 year old son. Our three guides, Rosco, Kristin and Samuel, were beyond amazing. They were friendly, informative, funny, interested in our questions and overall just lovely people to spend 6 hours with, let alone on an awesome river. The excitement was there for all, but we never felt unsafe for a moment. On a beautiful day we as a family were able to build memories that will last a lifetime. Sounds cheesy, but it's true, so I give West Virginia 6 stars, which means they are off-the-charts awesome. BOOK IT!
