Ben was what made this experience fun and exceptional. His expertise made us all feel great about what we were embarking. The entire staff were gracious and accomadating. We had a blast. I would do this again and again.

The rapids were great. My boyfriend and I sat in the front two seats and were soaked by the end of the trip! One of the highlights of our trip! Eli was a great guide and shared insights into the area.

Such a fantastic time with Defiance Rafting. Our guide Mike was both very well experienced navigating the intricacies of the river as well as hilarious! Great experience as a first time white water rafter and will be returning!

This was amazing- highly recommend. I went with my kids (9 and 11) and although we have been rafting on the east coast before, this was very different. The rapids were strong and super fun. We got soaked. Our guide (Mike) was amazing and we always felt very safe. He also had a lot of really interesting stories and information about the canyon. He was great with my kids- lots of joking around with them. They had such a great time that we went back the next day for another half day. In hindsight I would have rather book one full day, but I have no idea we were going to enjoy it so much.

This was the perfect first time whitewater rafting experience; pretty smooth with just the right amount of gentle rapids to make it exciting! Our guide, SARAH, was amazing; not only with her navigation and instructions but also giving us interesting information/history about the canyon, river, etc. My husband and I are in our mid 60s rafting with family members in the same age range. We ended up in the front of the raft and it was simply a blast, I can't wait to do a more challenging trip next time! Rubber booties are provided but I recommend something with a more substantial sole, also a wide brimmed hat, sunscreen, and be prepared to get wet! I can't say enough good things about Defiance Rafting, although we are partial to Sarah, the entire staff are super friendly, professional and accommodating to any special needs or circumstances. What an adventure, highly recommend!!

Our trip was amazing. Neil our guide was amazing. Three of my friends only speak Spanish and he tried to give the orders in Spanish, he did such an amazing job. We were so grateful for that, we appreciate him. We will definitely come back.

We are a family of 4 (kids 11 and 8) all first time Whitewater rafting. It was so much fun! We left wanting to do it again. Time on the water is never wasted, friends. We saw a juvenile bald eagle and an adult, as well as mountain goats. Ben was great; calm, knowledgeable, and experienced. The whole operation is well-run with smart, professional, and sassy staff (hey Mike) who love what they do. We changed our minds upon arriving to go for a trip with rapids. The rapids were awesome. I'm so glad we went for it. No fuss was made, they just made it happen. They are the folks you want guiding you. I couldn't imagine going with anyone else.
