He was patient, informative, and took the time to answer all my questions, which gave me a lot of confidence before we even got there. When we arrived, the three ladies at the sign-in shack were just as friendly and helpful. What stood out most to me was how focused they were on making sure everyone understood the process--not just for fun, but also from a safety standpoint. I really appreciated the way the staff in kayaks guided us, giving us clear heads-ups and reminders throughout the trip. That kind of attention helped a ton. The experience itself was absolutely exhilarating--riding through the rapids with friends was so wonderful. Our guides, Margo and Thea, were incredible. They were both friendly and supportive the whole time. At one point, during the last rapid, my friend lost his balance and fell into me, and almost knocking me out of the raft. Thankfully, Margo and my wife reacted quickly and grabbed me before I went overboard. Special thanks to Margo for that! Honestly, the whole trip was so much fun I was ready to go again immediately, but we had to check in our hotel and grab dinner. I just wanted to say thank you to the entire team, especially Margo and Thea, for making our first rafting adventure such a great one. We'll definitely be back soon.

Only four stars for two reasons. If you've never been rafting before, you will love this! If you have done some rafting in other states, this river will feel tame. Swiftwater adds in some time at a nice little beach where you can ride over a small rapid and hike up and the guides will show you berries! This makes up for the less exciting rapids. Also, and I'm sure this rarely happens, but the camera malfunctioned the day we were there and we didnt get pictures of our group. Bummer.

I would highly recommend this to anyone from ages 10 to 90. So much fun.

We looked around and my wife found Positive Energy and we decided to book a weekend in Duluth so we could go dog sledding. We got all of our warm gear ready and headed out. When we arrived we were greeted by the owner and one of the dogs. Next we got a lesson on sleds and dog teams. Walking into the dog area we got to meet all of the dogs. Then we got to harness them and get them set on the rope of each sled. We learned a lot about dogs and the history of sledding the whole time were were there from the staff. They make sure you really understand everything and take the time to answer every question you have. We did the 3 hour tour and it was amazing!!! We got on the sleds as passengers and after about 25 min mine stopped and I got to drive. Wow was it fun, driving a dog sled on my own across a frozen lake. It was a lot more work than I expected but worth every second. After we were done sledding we helped get the dogs off of the sleds, they got treats and we helped get them back to each dogs house. I recommend Positive Energy to anyone wanting to try dogsledding. The staff and the dogs are amazing!

Made reservations the day before just in case, and we rented three whitewater kayaks for a 4 hour trip, which was an absolute blast! Super friendly people, and they have a gift shop with a lot of cool, quality gear for a really good price, including quit a bit of hats to choose from, as well as t-shirts. I also picked up a pair of aqua slip on's for only $12. Everything was really well coordinated, and went super smoothly (except for me forgetting me kayak "skirt") but it didn't prove to be much of an impedance.

We choose the A1 Stone Bridge to Winiboujou because it said it was for beginners. They brought the…read morekayaks but never told us how to adjust the pedals or seat so we could better operate the kayak. We were looking for a slow easy paddle but that is not what we got. There were 5 to 7 different rapids that we had to navigate. We did not have experience with the rapids. We could have gotten seriously injured. One of the rapids flipped two of us around, so we were going backward. We could not turn and we were both heading for major trees. I had a tree right at head height. This was day 1 of our vacation and it was a horrible experience. There were stones all over that we got caught up on, other places was so shallow we got stuck and then there was the rapids. The worker was at the location where we exited, he asked how it was and all 4 of us said it was awful. He said there is only 1 place where there is rapids. That was not true!! They need to provide maps because we were often paddling hoping we were going in the right direction but the river split. They need to reclassify this route for intermediate experience and make sure everyone understands what it actually will be like. It would have helped if they gave you some understanding of how to handle the rapids. They took our money and dropped us off but I believe they owe their customers more.

It was strange that they have a whole packing list on their website, but then they said in person that it would be better to bring as little as possible. We thought it would be fine to still bring our bags, but we think it ended up weighing down our kayaks (along with the things the tour guides packed in our kayaks for everyone's lunches like water jugs). Anyway, we ended up being pretty slow (even though I have quite a bit of experience with kayaks), which made things a bit stressful when they kept yelling at us to keep up. The lunch they provided was delicious and the sights were beautiful! It's just hard to be with a group when they're on a time crunch and want us to keep paddling when we want to stop and look at things, but there's not really another option if you're unfamiliar with the wind/weather/current patterns. Overall, it was a good experience, and we bought some nice embroidered sweatshirts after at their store!
