We visited late in the season, though were not disappointed. We were late arriving and called ahead, the staff was very accomadating. Extremely safe adventure tour, a must for new commers. Ali was great, she always had a watchful eye on her Dad Keith. We switched boats and went with Keith, small world as it is, he work with my... More

So much fun !!! We had a great day, with family and friends. It's hard to find something this much fun to do with your teenagers, but this was a real hit with everyone. Keith was our guide, he was knowledgeable, funny and really added to the experience. More

This was actually our second run with the River Runners this year. Our first experience my girlfriend and I went on 'orange' tides in July. We had so much fun we decided to round up 6 more family members and return in September for the 'red' tides. Both times we had a blast. Kudos to our guides Cody (July) and... More

Myself and 8 others went on the half day rafting tour, Keith was our guide and he was AMAZING. It was all of our first time going, Keith was very funny, made us all feel comfortable and safe. Rapids were awesome, there is not one bad thing I could say about the company or our guide. Would 100% go back,... More

We opted to take the full meal deal on this tour. The shorter tour didn't include a couple of sets of rapids so we are glad we did this one. We were warned when we booked that we would get wet to the skin from head to toe and they were not kidding. However, that was part of the fun.... More

We were a group of 14 in 2 boats and took the 3 1/2 hr. tour. Our guide was Keith, he was very knowledgeable and funny. One of our group was scared and Keith really tried to make her feel calm but after about an hour she had to go to the safety boat, no problem. I whole trip in... More

I went with my wife, two daughters (8 and 11), sister-in-law, niece (17), and two nephews (10 and 15). All had a blast. The boats were big enough to have all of us aboard one. The outfit was very organized and professional and seemed a cut well above the other companies running tours on the river at the same time.... More

After being in Quebec and Nova Scotia for 3 weeks and having a "fun" activity almost every day, our kids ranked tidal bore rafting as one of the top activities of our trip! We had an awesome experience. Keith was our guide and he was a great guy! He was always conscious of our safety, but yet provided us with... More

Our family went on a full day tour with this outfit and had the best time ever! It was better than any whitewater rafting you can find. Our guide Craig was awesome ! He guided us through some really awesome 10 to 12 foot rapids with ease. Our 7 year old daughter can't stop talking about it. A must if... More
