NIcole the tour guide and Captain Mike were absolutely amazing. It was 90+ degrees the day we went and had to wear masks, but NIcole the tour guide encouraged us to bring waters on the boat due to the high heat which immediately made me feel more comfortable. It was the first boat ride we had taken over rapids as a family with kids ages 9 and 5 and so I was a little cautious. But everyone made us feel completely at ease, there were definitely multiple moments of adrenaline, but without worry. Beautiful scenery, cool informational facts and the Hamilton turns were our favorite! And all of this soon after reopening due to Covid I imagine. Thank you, you guys. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a young family, the kids absolutely loved it. Thank you Nicole and Mike!!we tool the dry tour & it wasn't too exciting. i think it would have been much better going on the we tour.
