We had a great time white water rafting with this company. The guide was phenomenal! They tell funny jokes and make the trip fun. The rapids leave much to be desired. They are not that exciting or really that dangerous. The guides do the best they can to make it tailored to the group. More

We had a group of 12 kids and adults; every one of us had a wonderful, positive experience. We worked with Katie, Ash, Laura, and Patches and were very impressed with their knowledge, experience, and ability to make us feel comfortable and excited throughout the trip. We would highly recommend the zip line trip to families and groups of friends! More

Our group of 18 kids and adults really enjoyed this canopy tour on the zip lines! We debated doing this because of the cost, but it was definitely worth it for 2 hours of "extreme" fun and made our trip to HF very memorable. Our guides, Anthony and Josh made the trip fun and safe. More

We tried the zipline tree canopy tour last week with our daughter and her friend, both age 16. This was our first zipline trip. Guides Jerad and Nolan were great - knowledgable, friendly and helpful. One of us is afraid of heights but got through the course with flying colors. We shared a lot of laughs. Wheeeee!!!!!! We want to... More

Katie and Anthony were our guides. They were both low key, confident and very encouraging. When my 7 year old daughter got a little frightened on the first bridge Katie carried her across and Anthony took her on the second bridge. The ziplining was awesome!! Views were outstanding..weather was perfect...... it was a great way to end our spring break.... More

Our family (kids ages 10, 14 and 16) did the moonlight canopy tour last night and had lots of fun. It was the first time for our 10 year old to zipline and guides Katie and Nolan were great - acknowledging his nervousness but encouraging him. The scenery was spectacular: the gorgeous sky as the sun set, the full moon... More
