Green River Adventures is a fantastic resource for Green River White Water Kayaking. I was travelling with a group of teenagers and was so impressed with the care that the team took of all of us. The check-in and picture process was seamless. I was very impressed that they did not try to gouge you on the prices for the pictures or make each person in the group purchase the package. They gained gained my allegiance, alone, with that policy. However, they had already won a fantastic review from me by the incredible guides that helped us down the river. Nick, Katy and Gibson made the trip incredibly fun! Eventhough, I was the Lucille Ball of kayakers, they were incredibly patient and kind. Even as we were riding on the very comfortable bus to the place where we would start, the team was telling us about sites along the road or asking us about our experiences in their area etc. It was delightful! The kayaking was incredible! The guides were very instructive which is necessary on these rapids - 3's and 4's. However, please do heed their warnings. If you are not in shape, the Upper Green is not for you. They have plenty of adventures, but for this one, you should have the strength to paddle in rough water and be able to carry the raft on your own. It is completely worth all of the strenuous activity! I cannot thank Nick, Katy and Gibson for giving the girls a memory from their Cross Country training trip that they will never forget. Also, get the pictures. Nick, Katy and Gibson stopped at many critical parts in the trip to give us unbelievable documentation of our adventure with them. Thank you Green River Adventures!!!!!

Wonderful time... a lot more challenging thanI thought it would be, but I would absolutely do it all over again! We are wore slap out, and appreciate all of Bryce and Josh’s hard work. We went with a group of 6 kids ages 12, 13, 16, 15, 17, and they all hang in there very impressively. Beautiful scenery, wild adventures, and great memories made!

The staff, guides (Sam, Shay & Amy) for the Big Bradley Falls Rappel and Waterfall Trek were all fantastic. Sam was top notch and really took her time during the Waterfall Trek so we could experience the falls, slides and pools in their full glory. Highly recommend Green River Adventures to all!

We did the waterfall track with Daniel. Super exciting and definitely challenging. He did a great job of keeping everybody safe making sure we had a good time and challenging everyone's sense of adventure. Our kids are 11 and 13 and did some first time Gorge jumping and rappelling. They were definitely nervous and felt well supported and comfortable challenging their limits.

My 16 year old daughter and I just completed the Big Bradley Falls rappel.
Our guides were very professional and focused on safety, but at the same time engendered a fun and adventurous atmosphere.
The experience was outstanding and a memory we will share forever.
The guides also are positioned for Instagram worthy pictures(always a big motivator).
This tour does require some athleticism, but is extremely rewardng and highly recommended.

Great fun for intermediate kayakers. Well organized, efficient, very friendly staff made us feel at home. Guides did great job of making us feel safe. Its a challenging ride physically and mentally and you get a great high when you make it through those class 4's! Don't wear sunscreen (too slippery and the natural trees cover most all the river), DO wear long sleeve rash guards, maybe even wool socks with your water shoes and gloves because the water is chilly even in summer. Don't bring a beginner or anyone scared of water, start with smaller rapids and build up to this trip. Super beautiful to see an unspoiled rive with no houses, trash, or even camping, It was a beautiful thrilling day!

My young kids and I had a fantastic experience kayaking with Green River Adventures on the Lower Green. My 5yo rode with me and my 9yo had no trouble piloting her own kayak. The guides Jordan and Chris did a great job making sure we had an incredible but very safe experience! I highly recommend this excursion for families with younger children.

I did the Little Bradley rappel for my 61st birthday. Seth and Brian put any concern I might have had about safety at rest. The were professional and knowledgeable while providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Each of them tailored the experience for each individual of our group. Brian provided great ground school training with feedback to improve our new rappelling skills. He also was able to do both assistance with our rappel and the photography duties- covering lots of ground repeatedly. Seth was our driver, leader, and the man who ran the ropes at the top of the falls. I wasn’t scared even one second so that must tell you something!! He was great and watched over all of us with a sharp eye. GRA is lucky to have these two guides and I can see why the reputation is what it is if all the guides are this caliber. I encourage anyone who is thinking about booking a rappel to put any worries aside and follow your adventurous spirit.

Our guide Sam was amazing throughout the entire trip. I think the best part of the trip was being able to repel down the mountain as well as swim and slide down the falls. I recommend taking this trip for anyone who's interested in a nice adventure!!!

I cannot say enough good about our kayaking trip today with Chris and Peter of Green River Adventures. The class one and class two rapids on the Lower Green River trip were challenging and stimulating, but not overwhelming. Peter drove us safely to and from the river on winding mountain roads and expertly prepped the kayaks for our group, helping us get off to a good start on our run. Chris knew the river so well, he guided us like a pro, giving us tips all along the way on the best way to handle each set of rapids, and jumping in with an assist whenever anyone got stuck in the shallows. Even the gal running the office was a pleasure to deal with. The outfit is clearly well-organized and well-run — a perfect fit for our family’s maiden voyage into river kayaking.

Green River is a guide lead adventure company. I don’t believe they rent out their equipment.
