"We had such an awesome time with performance tours. We went down the blue river, with our guide Cole and group leader i think his name was Reed. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. These guys know their stuff. While guiding us down the river cole was very knowledgeable of the river, the wildlife, and anything else in between. Super fun and highly recommended, thanks again for an awesome time !!"

"Great day on the Blue River! We had a fantastic time running the Blue River. The operation of the trip was seamless, but the highlight was our guide, Reed. He was friendly, helpful, fun, and easygoing. He gave us all the appropriate safety instructions and then made the trip through the rapids fun. Great day - can’t recommend this company highly enough. PS - they also provide wetsuits which is a MUST."
