Summary:
We did the park (ropes course) and 1/2 day rafting with an 11, 14 and 18 year old. Kyle was our guide for both. Outstanding time, highlight of the trip. Decent lunch provided and everyone was friendly and welcoming. The ropes course was more challenging than expected and Had 4 small zip lines. Then you do a challenge to climb up and jump to a trapeze bar. Then you do a large swing over the river. The rafting was great, the kids loved it and we even jumped in the cold water. Highly recommend.

Summary:
Amazing, fun, knowledgeable guides. Every guide seems to be living their dream job. Facility was great. They obviously spend money on infrastructure, equipment and upkeep. They have it down and take care of you. When I come back, I'm going with Noah's Ark again. If I was here longer, I'd actually go again.

Summary:
Top notch service all around! You won’t need to worry about hauling or loading your boat. They take care of it all and do it with smiles. Even the bus ride back is entertaining. Every person on staff is focused first on safety, always respectful, and F-U-N, but I gotta say if you don’t get Pippa on the water you’re missing out.
If you go the aerial park, cross your fingers for Mama & Libby! They were great with our 11 year old!
