5.00Everyone was friendly all around. Joe as our guide and Ryan drove. These guys are a hoot! We have been rafting multiple times with commercial companies and not one compares to this experience.

5.00This was supposed to just be a 2-hr experience, but it was 4 from start to finish. Anastasia was our guide and she was amazing - friendly, knowledgeable, and most important, experienced on the river. We were able to stop twice along shore for a swim or dip in the water. Perfect on this very HOT week in GS!
Family oriented and very friendly!

5.00Mike was an amazing guide and took us down an amazing stretch of river. I couldn’t be happier with my experience. You will get wet so leave anything you don’t want wet back at the car. Unplug a little and live in the moment for 2 hours with Glenwood Adventure Company.
Awesome!
