Conflicted ~ Good/Not So Good

We had 3 athletic families attend this trip with adults and teens. The kayaking was BEAUTIFUL on the way 'in' to the hike (current and wind assisting). The hike itself was a bust and we all like to hike. Our guide left us to our own devices for most of this trip and was of little guidance. Even wading through the water to the hike our guide took us the more difficult route. We know this because on our return to the kayaks a couple of us followed a different guides route across the river which was so much simpler and safer! The hike was muddy and slippery despite having good water/hiking shoes. We had adults/kids fall many times and one significant injury. Others had already slipped in this location yet our guide offered no help or alternative. In early July, unfortunately the waterfall yielded little water. The hike not worth the end result. We did enjoy the 'work out' aspect of the kayak trip back. It was beautiful but challenging going against the current if you aren't a regular kayaker.

At a minimum: I'd rate this a moderate adventure and challenging for individuals who aren't regularly very active.

Fun and unique!

We had a great time on this trip and I would recommend it. It is definitely a unique experience and something we'll probably never be able to do elsewhere. Kaleigh and Aaron were our guides and they were great!!!

The only thing I'd change is giving customers an option to be on a tour that includes lunch/picnic or a tour that just does the tubing. We would have preferred heading back to the beach versus the lunch/picnic time. Maybe different times can offer different options throughout the day.
