Whitewater Rafting Guides
We have an awesome team of guides on staff ready to make your adventure one you’ll remember for a long time.
Tony V – owner and head guide, 25+ years of climbing and mountaineering, 15+ years of whitewater paddling.
In 2004 Tony founded the Sandstone Ice Festival and a year later the first Kettle River Paddling Festival was being planned. The foundation for a guide service was in place and finally in 2014 Tony quit his sucky job for the dream life of a rafting and climbing guide.
Jeff L.V. – rafting guide, with 5 years of experience guiding the New River in West Virginia Jeff is a polished professional. Expect a first class tour by an exceptional raft guide with time tested jokes.
