This trip is perfect for anyone who is looking for a little excitement and isn’t afraid to get wet. When you sign up for the Olympic Course, expect to be on the river for a little over 4 hours.

3. You Can Go as a Group or Individually
This trip runs on a very limited schedule on select weekends during the summer months from June to September. Whether you’re coming by yourself or bringing a group, there are options for everyone. Group rates apply for parties of 8 or more and reservations can be made through one person.
