We had an amazing experience, and Kat was a fantastic guide! She made the trip fun from start to finish while managing the group with professionalism and confidence. Her positive attitude was contagious, and she shared interesting historical facts and insights about the river along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable.The owner has been there for almost his entire life. I highly recommend this adventure for anyone interested in Class III–IV rapids. The rapids provided just the right amount of excitement, while much of the trip was calm, scenic, and relaxing. A great balance of thrill and fun! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow! This 77 year old would not go down the river with anybody but Orion. It was a warm early June day and the river was flowing! It was my wife and my first experience shooting white water rapids (we were told Class 3 rapids) and we had a great time with Issac telling the “duck” joke (ask him to tell it 😂.). This company has been around since the 1970s and is still owned by the founder who also still guides trips. All of the guides are experienced rafters who know the river intimately. I should know that their safety procedures work flawlessly since I fell in the river! During the whole experience, I felt completely safe as I had a wetsuit, helmet and life preserver all in excellent condition. I was able to stay calm, as was the boat guide, and was quickly picked out of the water by the crew. All safety procedures were clearly explained before we started, and following these procedures got me back in the raft without a hitch. Highly, highly recommend Orion!! 🎉🎊

My work went out with Orion for a team building day of fun! Maya and Miranda guided us through the rapids with ease and made sure everyone had the proper equipment, know-how, and attitude for the trip. They also joined in on the shenanigans too! Would highly recommend riding with the crew at Orion for a fun girls trip, family adventure, or adrenaline inducing team building exercise (if your company is cool enough). Thanks Orion!

Isaac and Finley were amazing guides! They made this trip so much fun, little wild but not too wild☺️ perfect amount of excitement with no one getting tossed from the raft! A very memorable birthday experience for our 15 year old daughter and her 2 friends. Highly recommend this rafting company!
