Look folks, a lot of people on here are comparing their experience in MN to the Grand Canyon or other famous whitewater areas. Just enjoy it for what it is! Fun and knowledgeable guides. Beautiful scenery. Cool water on a hot summer day. No, its not going to come close to 'true' rafting, but this is still a blast AND a great value at $65pp. Also, it works for people of all abilities, ages, and experience. There was a multi-generational family in the boat next to us, and they were all having a blast. My group is 6 guys in our 40's and we wanted to do something other than hike, fish, and play cards; this was the perfect way to spend a few hours then head to get dinner and drinks while we laughed about my entire sinus cavity getting [vigorously] rinsed out while we were 'surfing'. I chose to sit in the front, so that's what I get!
Sure, if we ran it all in one go, it would take about 20 minutes, but here you'll have to wait for the other boats in your group to shoot a rapid, get the whole group back together, then head down to the next rapids. We also happened to be behind a large school/camp group who was taking their time, so we did have a lot of idle time - but we were with good friends, cool guides, and we weren't at work - not sure how it could get better than that. :) Just set your expectations accordingly, and enjoy.
Anyone who doesn't enjoy a few hours on the water with Swiftwater must not be much fun at parties.
One important tip: you're best off leaving any/all valuables behind, either in your car, or with the staff at the desk during check-in. HOWEVER, the guides all stay behind at the end of the float to deal with the boats while you get bussed back to the starting point. If you want to TIP YOUR GUIDE, bring some cash along with you!! We would have loved to tip our guide if we had the chance (I think her name was Rachel. She was wearing sunglasses she had from a bachelorette party, and she made our trip super fun, safe, and memorable).

Our trip was a blast. The guide, Mitch was reassuring and really informative while keeping the fun level high. The mid trip hike was great. The safety boaters were great to watch, too! I would recommend anyone visiting the area check this out.

I almost didn’t go but everyone said that sometimes the scariest things are the most fun and they were right! Mitch handled the raft so well and made me feel safe so I could just have fun!!He also took us on a great nature hike which I love to do and then we went on an adventure swim in the current! Everyone from our kayak guide to all the raft guides and even the bus driver were great! It was an adventure that was highlight of my trip to Duluth!

What a fun trip, our guide Caleb helped us navigate the rapids & had great experiences to share. Appreciated the communication & ease of the trip - we are booking next spring for upper part of the river!

A fantastic river adventure run by a quality, safety-focuseed, and fun outfit. We enjoyed a beautiful 2 hours on the river and class 2-4 water. Special recognition and thanks to our boat guide Mitch, who deftly and graciously supported our older and less adept family members so they too had a great day. A wonderful way to spend the day!

Just a lot of fun. With a few nervous moments. Rafting, swimming and hiking in one trip down the river.

This is a 5! Even for us old people. I don't write reviews except this experience is worth the time. From reservation process, to check-in, to safety instructions, to the trip itself this is a well run operation. The trip included water from swift current up to 3 so there was some excitement for everyone. The staff is exceptional. I understand from grandchildren that the ropes course was also a worthwhile experience.

This was a fantastic family day! The guides were wonderful and really helped us get the hang of it! We got wet and we had a blast! The pictures they took were an added bonus! I strongly recommend you take your family on this adventure together!

What is the minimum age requirement?
Hi Kelvin! Age 11 is our age requirement. Thank you for the question!
The pictures that guests have posted here on trip advisor are amazing! many of them look like they were taken while the photographer was on the shore. does the company take these group photos of guests?
I went in June 2022, and yes they had a photographer to capture great moments along the way. We stopped partway and they took a photo of each group onshore as well. They make them available for purchase. You can pick the ones you want. They are available for download after that for at least a year.
