"I really appreciated your emphasis on our safety and personal hygiene."
We were the elders on the trip and Penny showed great patience, especially with me and my lack of mobility.
Our guides were very professional and made sure that we were taken care of in every way.
"I have enjoyed both river rafting and fishing trips with (Paul Arentsen, Winding Waters River Expeditions) and his crew. They are first rate, highly skilled and safety-minded, superb with families and children, and fabulous cooks."
