Independent Whitewater

FUN! FUN! FUN! An experienced company founded by rafters who originally did all the rafting themselves back in the day. Safety is important and following the directions of our gifted guide, Emilio, we learned to love the river, the shoreline surroundings, and all the twists and turns of mother nature. The lunch was refreshing with some large, flat rocks providing a great bench for sitting on. Exploring a bit up the land, we found all kinds of rocks, lizards darting about, a rich variety of pink, grey and sparkling rocks embedded along the sandy trails and the slim, spiky plant life you expect for this area. You do have opportunities to use a restroom in the morning, so don't be afraid!!! Along the way, our lovely river gave us both punched up fun and smooth
graceful glides. Emilio amused and impressed us with his take on life and his own journey bringing him to this river. Under his leadership we worked as a team, anticipating and riding each wave for maximum fun! In the afternoon, mother nature showered us coldly with rain, but we pulled ashore for a short trail hike along the edge. Emilio provided us with additional clothing which we definitely should have rented before we set out for our trip. This was the day before my son's 17th birthday and it stands out as the best for our whole family. Thank you, Emilio, and thank you, Independent Whitewater Rafting Company for going above and beyond!

The service was phenomenal. I highly recommend going.

Great people and guides. Great little bar and diner by the river. Longer runs than the other companies. No brainer.

White water explosion. Nic was amazing so knowledgeable about the area and rafting. Staff was brilliant. So much fun

We’re staying at Mountain Goat Lodge for our anniversary and wanted to book some activities. They recommended Independent Whitewater and I’m so glad they did. We went on the 12 mile with James as our guide and had the best time. The views are breathtaking. Our guide was hilarious and educational throughout. He made sure we were prepared for everything we were going to encounter. Definitely happy this is where we experienced whitewater rafting for the first time ever.
