Randy, an analytical chemist and very experienced outdoorsman, was outstanding as a guide, guiding the raft with precision while entertaining with a vast knowledge of the river and jokes as bad as mine. BROO provides everything except your bathing suit, just push the easy button and go. Trips are tailored to the needs of the guests, so just call. 5 stars, from a guy who rarely gives anything 5 stars.

They have really clean bathrooms, nice covered sitting areas with tables and chairs and some with picnic tables, a changing room, a nice little giift area and cafe. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming to us. We were able to get a breakfast burrito (which was delicious) and just take in the beauty of the river. Once the traffic got moving, we loaded onto our bus with Owen, our driver, and Anna our guide. These two really made us feel welcome and we just knew we were going to have a great day. It was just my husband and I and another couple, Chuck and Marcia who were super friendly and it was great getting to know them throughout our day. Anna was simply a firecracker, so full of energy and positivity and funny too, that we were having a great day, just on the drive up to Cabarton Road. After our safety drill we were off. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and we had time to take it all in and just float on down the Payette in between the "rapid" times. When we came to the rapids, they were GREAT Category 2 and 3s and we had so much fun. Anna then pulled out for lunch and put out this great spread of food, carrots with humus (that was oh soooo god I wish they sold it), crackers with cream cheese and salsa, pasta salad, apples and oranges slices, sandwich fixins and then cookies for desert. They even had a gluten-free brownie and glute-free bread fir ne which were both terrific. Anna's guide skills are wonderful and on top of that having to entertain us, abd fix us lunch, really demonstrates what a terrific work ethic she has and she does so with passion and a great attitude. It was a full day and we were exhausted at the end, but we had such a great time and can't thank Anna and Owen enough for making sure we had a great time and came home with such wonderful memories of this day. We are already looking forward to next season and coming back to do this same run again. After going through one other place when we did our first rafting excursion, we will definitely be coming back to THIS one from now on, and I highly recommend this company.

Their years…read moreof work history between both of them built the backbone of their business that shines due to their hard work and heart. We've done many rafting trips over the years but this was the first time we've gotten suited up in a farmer john suit, water booties, and long sleeve waterproof shirt to combat the cold water. We have been in snow melt runs before so this was interesting but oh so great to be comfortable on the river. I was never cold and interestingly never too warm despite the layers. Sean follows the raft in a white water kayak to be a safety back up just in case and also snap some cool pics - also a first on a rafting trip and I thought it was awesome. Stephen did a great job navigating our raft and the collective group of us were all skilled enough to ensure we didn't tip over or fall out of the raft (except one person). We just loved it! We did the canyon stretch for 5 class 4 rapids in like 45 minutes. The trip felt like it went fast but it was so fun! Lunch was delicious, allergy sensitive which is always appreciated. It was nice to see this part of Idaho since we usually stay further south west due to where family lives when we visit. It was a treat to be on the rafting trip and catch some hot springs nearby and on the rafting trip. This river stretch includes Pine Flat hot springs but Kirkham is within a couple miles and part of a different run they offer as well. 100% recommend if you are looking for an awesome adventure with great people!

Hunter, our guide, was just the coolest friendliest guy and made us all feel very welcome. Basically the vibes were just good and friendly and jokes were flying the whole time. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that's physically able to do it.

I emailed back and forth with Corey, the owner, and he was very accommodating and answered all my questions. The setup of the boat is ideal for hanging out with friends or family because of the circular layout and table in the center, plus having the big umbrella over the boat is really nice. It's like a really mellow party boat. We brought a cooler with drinks and food and made it a little dinner cruise. It was also effortless - they launched it for us and met us on the dock right as we brought it back so we didn't even have to tie it up, we just hopped off the boat and left.  Our kids absolutely loved it and one of them declared it in his top 3 experiences ever. They also liked that they could drive the boat themselves and make it do donuts. Our 10 year old wanted to leave his own review and wrote this: "This is a super fun and amazing activity for anyone to spend part of their day doing. Super comfortable and relaxing, doesn't get boring, and you're likely to get a lot of people complimenting the boat. You can also sit on the stairs and stick your feet in the water if you get hot. I would absolutely recommend this."
