Well it was a slow day for RE so it was just my wife and I with Sy as our guide. So how many companies would be willing to take just 2 people. We highly recommend RE (5 stars) for your white water rafting trip. Sy took us up on the upper end and it was a blast. Wife was... More

Rapid Ex is the Best!!! Our guide Zach was awesome. His love and knowledge of the river made the day perfect for us! The owner Dave was very pleasant to deal with, both over the phone and in person. Our date had to be rescheduled several times due to travel plan changes and Dave worked with us. White water rafting... More

Had a great time on this trip. Safety was key to all the staff. Had a blast bonding and making memories with the others in my raft. Greg was a great guide- very funny and knew everything about the river. Definitely recommend this place! More

My family just went on this trip today! We had children ages 4-19 and they all had a great time. The ride was fun, the swimming relaxing, and the views spectacular. There was no large crowd. Zach was our awesome guide and he definitely made the trip more enjoyable with his narrations and knowledge of the river and other area... More

We had a small group of four on our raft which was perfect. Sy was awesome as a guide. Told us quite a bit about the local area. I don't think we could have had a better guide. I definitely would come back for more rafting with this guy! He was hilarious. Five stars. More

We called a few different rafting companies before settling on Rapid Expeditions. We were so happy that we chose this company! There were 6 of us total. 4 adults, a 10 yr old, and a 13 yr old. This is a small business in comparison to the couple of giant rafting companies in Hartford. Our guide, Greg, was AWESOME! Great... More
