Testimonials

My wife and I took our granddaughter Sasha to a whitewater rafting trip on Shenandoah River on 06/15/2005. It was wonderful experience for all of us. We wanted to thank all the staff at River Riders and especially our guide Chris. He is a highly professional and very entreating person but most of all has a great sense of responsibility. As grandparents we were worried about the trip safety. He made our trip enjoyable and memorable. The rafting was excellent. Our granddaughter was much exited. We told about the trip to all our friends and suggested to get their grandkids and kids to the River Riders to have great time together.

My husband Gordon and I wanted to say again how much we enjoyed our whitewater trip on Sunday. Our guide Isaac was fabulous. We were disappointed when we went to get our group picture and he had already ridden off on his skateboard! So, we took the best thing -----BEN!! What a hoot he was... We also enjoyed the ride back with Nick's witty stories!!!! And who could forget Shane and his wild man, untamed look. For a stay-at-home mom, this was truly an exciting day. You all have a first-class operation... We are ready for our next adventure!!! We will definitely return next year, kids in tow...


Hope you enjoy the picture.

I wanted to thank you for the accommodations you made for us. The kids had a great time (adults too!). The rafting was excellent. I will make sure I encourage other Scouting organizations to consider using your company. The dinner was well received as well. The boys were very excited about the trip, and the enthusiasm continued when we returned to Brunswick Family Campground and found that a Girl Scout troop was setting up next to us. That created an entirely different set of problems for us!

I just wanted to let you know the outstanding experience my friend John T and I had this past weekend on our three day introduction to kayaking weekend. We enjoyed three wonderful sunny days on your rivers. I especially wanted to thank Kevin Hughes for the outstanding job he did instructing us. The entire weekend we both felt that he was closely paying attention to our progress, understanding our experience levels, understanding our weaknesses, and working with us so we had an enjoyable time and felt safe throughout the three days on the water.

Hello....I wanted to let you know what a great day I had doing the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers today with KEVIN HUGHES as my instructor for a sit on top kayak. He inspired confidence and was extremely articulate in his explanation. I not only had fun but can't wait to do it again in a decked boat.You have a very valuable employee and I hope you reward him accordingly as he deserves it.!..thank you..

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the really wonderful time had by all at the recent Team Building event that you put on for our group. We will look to River Riders in the future, with confidence and trust as we put our "event coordination needs" in your very capable hands.

Well I have to admit I was a little nervous. When we first arrived we were greeted in a warm, friendly manner. Informed of the changing rooms & lockers. Then we had our video. It was good. Informative. THEN THE PARTY STARTED!!!!! We got our jackets, paddle, and helmet and we were rockin. Our guide Genell B. was awesome, she was funny, told us about the river and another historic events. She was very professional. The rafting was wonderful and we will be back for sure. It was awesome.*BEWARE* of the hill at the end of the trip it is steep. Thanks to Catfish for keeping me laughing. We will be back for sure.
