My daughter and I had a great time rafting Toby Creek this morning! Everything from start to finish was well organized and fun! Dan, Curtis and Tyler were knowledgeable and had us laughing throughout. Curtis was our guide down the river and he took the time to get to know us and make the trip enjoyable for all! Thanks for the great experience. We'll be back next year to take on Kicking Horse!
