We had so much fun being together and with our guides, Pam, Alfredo, and Erica. They were super professional and lots of fun. The rafting trip was a combination of relaxation, sightseeing, and white knuckle excitement. I highly recommend Echo Canyon and make sure you ask for Pam who was just perfect with our group. Everything was taken care of and it was a super memorable experience.

Guide of All Time. Funny, knowledgeable, calm in the chaos, and somehow knew both river facts and dad jokes. He could lead a TED Talk on how to have a good time on water. It was our family of four (two adults, two kids -- 12 and 15, professional eye-rollers) plus another awesome family we met on the raft. Total strangers at first, river besties by lunch. Echo Canyon clearly knows how to pair people up -- no drama, just good vibes and shared paddling trauma bonding. The river itself? Just enough rapids to make us scream-laugh, plus plenty of chill spots where we could float, swim, or yeet ourselves off rocks like majestic river creatures. It was basically summer camp, adrenaline edition. Speaking of lunch: we expected, like, a soggy sandwich and a dream. What we got was a deluxe box lunch -- huge, delicious, and teen-boy approved (which is saying something). Energy fully restored. We were ready to conquer the next round of splashes. By the end of the day, we were soaked, sun-drenched, mildly sore, and so happy. JP made the whole experience feel like a guided nature documentary with more laughs and fewer khakis. Book the trip. Ask for JP. Make friends on the raft. Eat the lunch. Jump in the river. Live your best life.

The level 3-4 was actually perfect even though it was our first time, due to not wanting it to be too easy. Alex was our rafting guide who did an amazing job!! We almost wished we did a full day. For the ATV, Karen was our guide who also did a a great job and led us up some beautiful trails. Highly recommend this company.

I was grouped with a family with grown kids which I appreciated so I wasn't with littles or all men. I was so incredibly grateful to be assigned to Migs as our guide. He took the time to explain before each higher grade rapid what to expect. He was knowledgeable about the conditions, the history of the surrounding area, took pictures for us, and knew how to maneuver safely even in tricky spots. He was a fabulous teacher. I still recommend first timers try rafting even with the lower water levels as it allows you to try this experience at a slightly slower pace. I would maybe book earlier or account for some extra time on the river though. Jaymo was also incredible and gave us a little standup show and acted as tour guide on the way back. A lot of the staff is young but don't let it deter you--they are strong, passionate about what they do, and we didn't have a single spill or safety issue

My buddy's wife couldn't come at the last second and they gave me a gift certificate which was cool as we thought he wouldn't get anything.

From the customer service we received before ever showing up to the clear and concise instructions prior to launch, and the expert leadership on the water, all of it culminated into a confident and absolutely exhilarating trip for our entire family. The anxious hesitation some of us arrived with was soon washed away by Lawrence who was an amazing guide. His expertise and leadership which was blended with a quiet confidence and deeply personal approach immediately made us all feel like he was a close friend of the family. Shout out to Lawrence! You're the man! As for the time on the water, the scenery is something you will never forget. From the wildlife, the towering Gorge walls, the passing train along the ridge, and every approaching rapid it all leaves a visual impression that you will be hard pressed to forget. Some rapids were more challenging than others, but I would encourage you to always stay locked in as I let my guard down on a low level rapid and almost went overboard. Speaking of overboard, one of our favorite parts of the trip was the swimming part of the trip. Our whole outfit pulled over, and we were allowed to take a refreshing dip in the river. Climbing onto the bank and taking a plunge from a natural high dive, otherwise known as a giant rock hovering the river. What a great time! Don't sleep on the pictures offered at the end of the trip. They are worth every penny! And be sure to grab some Lost Paddle Rafting souvenirs before you leave. They have a great selection of stickers for your cooler, hats, t-shirts, and hoodies. Thank you to the whole Lost Paddle Rafting team! Y'all gave us a trip we will forever remember.

We got to swim and push my daughter out of the boat and a splash battle with the other boats. They take pictures on the river. They do it all.
