We had an awesome time with Owen, AJ and Lenny! Learned a lot and enjoyed taking on some rapids. Definitely an activity that anyone can do - not too physically demanding and at no point did we feel unsafe. Purchased some nice photos after. Highly recommend!

This was the second time my son and I have rafted with True North Outpost and both times I would give this business 5 stars! Very well run operation with extremely friendly employees. Our guide, Oscar, was informative, funny, and went out of his way to make sure our experience was the best!
