Our river guides are the best in the industry
Our instructors are certified by American Red Cross, Leave No Trace, Rescue 3 International and the American Canoe Association and they excel in professionalism, expertise and unparalleled experience. Each instructor is specialized, some focus on river safety and accident avoidance with technical river rescue while others specialize in kayaking and developing a boater from learning to roll to playboating techniques. Still others are devoted to helping rafters with boat handling skills on both oar-framed and paddle rafts!
