I had a blast rafting with Beyond Limits this year!
It was pretty easy to make reservations for my group. The Beyond Limits staff is super friendly and really helpful. My group did the South Fork (1/2 day) trip.
At 1:15, we were given all the safety rules. Since my group of 9 couldn't fit in 1 raft, we were split into 2 different rafts. Ashley ended up being my raft guide, and she was awesome! Ashley did a great job steering and telling us when to paddle forward.
It was a lot of fun rafting in the Class 3 river. Some of the waves was a bit scary, so I couldn't help but scream..lol. It was nice that we always stayed on the raft, so it never flipped over. We only jumped into the river to cool off, since it was pretty hot.
Overall, I'll definitely go rafting again with Beyond Limits. The staff is great, so you feel very safe with them.
