WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
- Had an amazing time on slaughterhouse the other week! Would recommend to anyone. Our guide Dan knew what he was doing and made sure we had a fantastic time from start to finish!!read moreread less
Yonatan Bar6/24/2026Abby was absolutely amazing! I had zero whitewater rafting experience, and she made the entire trip fun, exciting, and easy to follow on a class 3 rapid. She took the time to teach me how to paddle, explained everything clearly, and made me feel confident on the river from the very beginning.
Her energy and sense of humor kept our group laughing the entire trip, and her encouragement helped me step outside my comfort zone and take the plunge into the water during swim time, something I’m so glad I did! Abby was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience.
This was hands down one of the best adventure experiences I’ve ever had, and Abby was a huge part of that. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable trip. 10/10. Best tour guide ever!read moreread less

Jackson Jarvies6/18/2026 - We have partnered with AWR for our annual nonprofit trip for the past four years, and it’s always a great experience! Many of the same guides return each year, which makes it even more fun as we’ve gotten to know them. The crew is knowledgeable and makes sure everyone has a great time, especially with their jokes.
