GUEST REVIEWS
	Saturday, April 20, 2013 Nate, As always you guys knocked it out of the park. Our guides were the best and we always get a kick out of the them and you remembering us and BSing about past trips. Thanks to Nick for taking pictures and forwarding me ones from trips gone by. WE FINALLY GOT THE WEATHER AND CONDITIONS!!!! The boys are looking forward to seeing the video from this trip so please let me know how we can get a hold of that. Thanks again for working with me on the numbers, the guys who dropped are kicking themselves after we told them of the conditions. I would like to reserve for next year on Saturday April 5th for 18. Thanks again for running a great rafting company. Jay N. - Toms River, NJ

	Saturday, April 20, 2013 Nate, A hearty thanks to you and your staff for the awesome Hudson River rafting trip on April 20th. We selected your rafting company based on the outstanding reviews and we are happy to say that everything about North Creek Rafting exceeded our already high expectations. Our guides (Bazil and Nick) were very experienced and entertaining, the equipment provided was high quality and clean, and at 8.6 feet it could not have been a better day to take on the Hudson. From start to finish, our entire rafting experience was phenomenal and we look forward to future trips with North Creek Rafting. Please extend our sincere appreciation to the rest of your staff as well. Best of luck- PS: Are there any more pictures/videos from the April 20th rafting trip? Our entire raft got tossed into the Hudson by "The Monster" and we thought it would be awesome to see if the GoPro caught it in action. Thanks! Brad, Tim, Caleb, and Bobby - Farmington, NY

	Friday, September 28, 2012 Hello to you all, We did Rafting with your company at the end of September and wanted to send you some pictures from that day. We had a perfect day and a perfect guide (I think his name was Bazle) and wanted the thank you for this wonderful experience. I'll definitely will recommend to my friends to come to you. Have a great day. Rina & Daniella - from, Israel

	Sunday, September 23, 2012 My husband and I were on the rafting trip on September 23. The trip was wonderful. We have told all of my friends about how great your company is and Becky and Basil are very skilled guides. You obviously love your jobs. We truly had a wonderful time and hope to see you in the future. Lisa S. - Rocky Hill, CT

	Saturday, August 11, 2012 Had a great rafting experience on 8/11...Bazil was an outstanding tour guide, taking us thru the rapids and sharing history and funny stories about the area. Top notch equipment and expertise made this trip thoroughly enjoyable for our group. Ken K. - Sherman, CT

	Thursday, July 26, 2012 Nate - just wanted to say "thanks" for our trip last Thursday. Most enjoyable! Had a GREAT rafting guide in Frank. Quite the experience. Doug L. - Webster, NY

	Thursday, July 26, 2012 Hey guys, We went on the day trip this past Thurs, the 26th and had a blast! Frank was our guide and we could not have asked for someone better. He was so fun and knowledgable and made us all feel so safe! Basil was fun to have in the other boat as well. You guys have a great company, with amazing guides and workers and we had the best time, even with the rain and cooler weather!! thanks so much!! Lauren L. - New York, NY

	Thursday, July 26, 2012 Hi guys, just wanted to say the wife and I had a great time. Very impressed with our guide along the river. We will be back, recommending your outfit to all our friends here in Canada. Michael E. - Beamsville, Ontario

	Saturday, June 9, 2012 Hi Becky and North Creek crew, Thank you so much for a spectacular day! My husband and I had a blast. We are already talking about planning an overnight group trip next summer. Our friends would definitely love it too! I am so glad that I stumbled upon you. Thank you for the delicious lunch too! We were not expecting something as delicious as that! We are actually going to try to replicate it for dinner one night this week. Thanks again and if you have the website for the pics from today, do you mind passing it along? Chantel B. - Schenectady, NY

	Saturday, May 12, 2012 Thanks. We had a great time. You run a first class trip. Basil was great. We'll do it again for sure. Thanks again. Jim James M. - Tarrytown, NY

	Saturday, April 28, 2012 Nate, Had a great time yesterday Frank is a great guide. Was wondering if you guys had any pictures? Russ M. - Painted Post, NY

	Thursday, April 26, 2012 Nate, I don't know if this is a strange request or not but wondering if you would be willing to share the veggie wrap recipe with us so we can make them back in the city. Scott and I both agree that Becky should be selling her stuff at the coffee shop that is going to open across the street. The wraps and the cookies were great! Lauren W. - New York, NY

	Saturday, April 21, 2012 Once again we had a great time despite the lower than normal water. I was in the boat with guide Joe and he was by far the best guide I've had to date. He made an otherwise ho-hum river all the more entertaining and fun. If he is around next year we wold love to have him as our guide. Jay N. - Toms River, NJ

	Saturday, September 17, 2011 Very nice time on Saturday. Bazil was great! We are definitely staying overnight next year! Sonya C. - Whitehall, NY

	Saturday, September 3, 2011 Hello - I just wanted to let you know what an amazing trip it was yesterday with our guide, Frank. He was the best! We definitely want to come back when the river gets higher. Is there anyway that you could email me the recipe for those southwest wraps, they definitely hit the spot. Charsie M. - Rochester, NY

	Thursday, August 11, 2011 Hi Becky, Just wanted to say Kevin and I had a great trip with you yesterday. Mayra H. - Dania Beach, FL

	Tuesday, August 9, 2011 Hi, Becky and Nate! I just wanted to thank you for the great time we had rafting on Tuesday! We all enjoyed it VERY much, and Becky, I hope rafting our clan wasn't TOO crazy for you. Thanks again, and enjoy the remainder of the summer! Lisa Lisa T. - Tupper Lake, NY

	Sunday, July 3, 2011 Hello, I was there today, July 3, on the boat with Basil. First, it was part of my bachelor party and we had an amazing time. I am so glad we chose north creek rafting. I will be back. Also, is there any way to purchase the CD of pictures from my boat. I didn't get them and my future wife really wants them. Also the lunch was awesome. If you want to send the wrap recipe. And cookies. Ha ha Thanks. Michael C. - Fort Ann, NY

	Saturday, July 2, 2011 Hey Nate and Becky, I just wanted to thank you guys for a fun time last week!!! Mike, Michael, and I had a great time rafting w/your company!!! We hope to get back up to North Creek by the end of the summer w/our daughter so she too can enjoy some good clean outdoor fun. Thanks so much and I'm really glad we found you guys!!!! (Thanks to Nat Geo who stared us in your direction!) Please send a shout out to Justin for us!!! You've got an awesome crew up there!!! PS - Hey Becky, would you mind sharing the recipe for those delicious cookies you baked? I promise I'll keep it a secret!!! Liz C. - Fairfield, CT

	Saturday, June 4, 2011 Hi Nate and Becky, I just wanted to take a few minutes to say what an amazing time we all had whitewater rafting on Saturday, June 4, 2011! Your rafting equipment is top notch, your staff was friendly and professional, and we LOVED Frank! He was such a great river guide! He was knowledgeable, funny, and took some great photos of us on the raft. He really gave us a great day with memories to last a lifetime. We had such a blast and the spot he chose for lunch was beautiful. A few years ago, I went rafting with another company on the Hudson River and it was a terrible experience. The staff was very unprofessional and were groping at some of the females in my group. We were very uncomfortable and crossed rafting the Hudson off the list. I decided to go back again this year though and went with your company. I'm so glad I did! I would highly recommend your company to anyone that asked about rafting. I already wrote about it in my Facebook Photo Album (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.594970422662.2094391.32102381&l=d4161b393e). By the way, we also loved the photos taken of us in the Narrows. The CD came quickly and there were so many shots taken! Normally when I go rafting I get only one picture and someone always manages to be behind someone else. My fiance and I already picked out 2 pictures for the slideshow playing at our wedding. I would like to go on to say that I loved that we were the only raft in our group. It was great to just raft the river without having to keep stopping so everyone could catch up. I have been whitewater rafting for 11 years now and this was by far the best experience! Thank you for the amazing day and great memories! We'll see you again next year...if not this fall! Thank you, Charise Charise A. - New Rochelle, NY

	Sunday, May 15, 2011 Hey Justin, We all had a great time rafting with you. Every thing was perfect, good water, good friends,great guide and a awesome lunch. What was in those wraps? Anyway I posted a video on Youtube you might want to check out. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/RAYMO40?blend=10&ob=5#p/a/u/0/NGJ4kyooU6Q Youtube doesn't do it justice it look great on my tv. Thanks for the good time we are telling everyone to go to you guys. I'll send you some more links once I post them. Ray PS- If you need a helmet cam guy call me. Ray T. - Ballston Spa, NY

	Saturday, April 16, 2011 Nate, Just wanted to tell you again how much we enjoyed the river. It was a true pleasure rafting with your company today. Ron C. - Brick, NJ

	Saturday, September 11, 2010 Just wanted to send you a note to thank you and your team for an excellent rafting experience this past Saturday. You had us kitted out in all the right gear for a great day on the river. We were all grateful for the wetsuits as it allowed us to swim at various times even though the water was "fresh". The whole team was friendly and fun and the experience was excellent. Everyone in our group had a brilliant time & David was a really good guide, very experienced & calm when we might have thought the rapids were testing! Thank you all very much! Andy H. - New York, NY

	Saturday, August 28, 2010 Last Saturday my friends and I went down the Hudson with you guys. The trip was amazing. We all had a blast. Jeff N. - Albany, NY

	Tuesday, August 10, 2010 Hi Nate, Thank you for an awesome rafting trip on Tuesday. This was a first-time rafting experience for us and it far exceeded our expectations. Basil was very interesting and fun. He made sure that it was a memorable experience for our family. As the mother I especially appreciated all of the safety measures that were in place:) The lunch was fabulous. Please thank Becky for sending me the recipes already. We will definitely pass you name onto our friends. Thank you, Maureen D. - Bethel, CT

	Saturday, August 7, 2010 We totally lucked out when my brother chose your group from a random Web search - since one of my daughters is a vegetarian, it was the mention of vegetarian lunches that caught his attention. We had a great day on the river with Becky and the other guides, and it was a lot of fun being part of such a small group. We're already talking about making it a yearly event - thanks so much! P.S. - could you send the recipe for the wrap you served at lunch? It was delicious! Amanda R. - High Bridge, NJ

	Saturday, August 7, 2010 Our vacation to the northeast has sadly come to an end. It was a fantastic trip full of memorable moments. I just wanted to say THANKS again for a wonderful rafting trip. By the end of the day, I was very tired and don't think I was able to express my gratitude to you for such a great experience as I would have liked to. Becky (and Justin) were fantastic guides! It was an incredible experience for all of us, and for the young ones, I'm especially happy for that. Thanks again. Next time we make it out there we'll definitely look for you, and will definitely spread the word around here to others thinking about a rafting trip. Mike S. - Bloomington, IN

	Thursday, August 5, 2010 Becky and Nate, We all had a fantastic day with you last Thursday. Sunny is still talking about jumping off the rock with grandma, swimming in the river, spinning in the raft and of course the great lunch. The enclosed photo is Guide Becky by Sunny. Thanks again for a perfect day. Dan & Carolyn G. - Queensbury, NY

	Thursday, August 5, 2010 My wife and I had a great experience rafting with you two weeks ago on August 5, and for that we thank you very much. Since that time, I have been constantly bugged by my wife for what I remember about the contents of our delicious lunch. Now, as a guy, I really didn't pay that much attention to what was in the wrap, just enjoyed it. If Becky would be so kind, I would really appreciate a recipe or just a list of the ingredients. Thanks for any information you can send to quiet my wife. We tend to get up to the New England/upstate NY area about every 5 years, and I am looking forward to another day of fun with you on the Hudson. See you then. Dan C. - Columbia, MO

	Tuesday, August 3, 2010 It was a great trip, Justin is a funny and good guide and he mellowed everyone out to relax and have an exciting time. I am recommending your company already, as a small rafting company did a lot of spins, surfing, etc that is missing on the really BIG rafting companies. We all had fun. Thanks again. John C. - Essex Junction, VT

	Tuesday, July 6, 2010 You guys are the best! Thanks for the awesome rafting experience. We will send you more friends from Bayport. Enjoy the rest of you summer! Elizabeth B. - Bayport, NY

	Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Thanks for posting the video and pics of Julie and I from 6-29-10. We had a great time and I almost forgot how crazy the rapids were that day. Thanks!!!! Dennis F. - Levittown, NY

	Saturday, June 26, 2010 Just wanted to say what a great time we had rafting the Hudson with you on Saturday, June 26th. I live in Warrensburg and will be sure to recommend your company to others. I did want to ask if I could get the recipe for the Southwest Wrap we had for lunch. They were delicious. Paul C. - Warrensburg, NY

	Saturday, May 22, 2010 Nate, We had a great time rafting with 10 people in the raft. Guide Jason was great! The rest of your staff were very helpful and informative as well. We will be rafting with you again in the near future. We were really glad we went with a small outfitter. Your color card is hanging in the work break room now. I hope it brings you more customers. It was a great time , thanks again Nate. Todd A. - Naples, NY

	Saturday, May 22, 2010 Nate...our trip went off yesterday without a hitch, David as our trusty guide. A wonderful time was had by all and we're already thinking about planning a trip for August with "the boys". Our lunches were delicious, the water was thrilling and even the forecasted gloomy weather turned beautiful as the day went on. Thank you for taking such good care of us old ladies with our darling daughters. Hope your trip to California was fun and the wedding lovely. Elizabeth Elizabeth G. - Castleton, NY

	Saturday, May 1, 2010 Hello, Thanks for a wonderful time rafting this past Saturday. Basil was our guide and provide a wonderful trip. We have to share rafting with many other friends. We'll be back. Thanks again for a great time. David F. - East Aurora, NY

	Saturday, May 1, 2010 Thanks Nate. For everything. We had a great time the whole weekend. North Creek is such a great place. So many of the guys who have never been rafting before couldn't stop talking about going back again next year. Thanks again for a great weekend. Matt B. - Buffalo, NY

	Saturday, April 17, 2010 Our group had a blast this weekend with you guys. The river and weather were not at their best but that didn’t keep you guys from showing us a great trip. I can say that because we have been doing this trip for the past 7 years and had our share of bad times with and because of other rafting companies. Your gear was well kept and in great condition as one would expect unless of course you had gone to other companies. The guides were well informed, personable, and cool to hang out with for 4 hours on the river. One thing that should not be overlooked or underrated is the KICK A$$ vegan burritos and the chocolate mint chocolate chip cookies you served for our mid trip break. This was actually better than some of the post rafting meals we had received from companies in the past. I could go on and on but basically I wanted to let you and your staff at North Creek Rafting are doing it the right way. I know this because we have been with people doing it the wrong way. Keep up the great work, see you next year. April 16th for 14 people if you have the book ready. Jason N. - Toms River, NJ

	Saturday, April 3, 2010 Dear Nate: I hope that you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. =) I wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for the fantastic time we both had on our exciting adventure down the Moose! I am learning that there are very few things like a good trip down a river to remind you that you are ALIVE. Everyone else that we met were really cool and all the details of the trip were excellently handled. Thanks for taking my last minute reservation, the gear which was impeccably clean, and the expert guidance and tutelage from ALL of the guides on our trip. Plus, please convey our compliments to Becky your wife, for the delicious vittles. We appreciated it and will soon be back up to the North Country, I bet. Anup J. - New York, NY

	Sunday, October 4, 2009 Dear Nate and Becky, Jeff and I really enjoyed the trip this first Sunday in October. Check out the article I wrote for the SOLAR Ray December issue at solaroutdoors.org. I'm looking forward to receiving your recipe for those great burritos. I promise not to reveal the source. Glenn S. - Plymouth, MI

	Saturday, August 29, 2009 Thanks so much for such a great time. I had my bachelor party up there this past weekend, and we all had a blast. Eric was a great guide and it was a lot of fun having Heather in our raft as well. All in all, a first class operation. I know we will be back. Andrew D. - New York, NY

	Tuesday, August 25, 2009 Hi Nate & Becky, I wanted to extend my many thanks to your whole crew and especially Heather and Bazil. I rafted with you guys this past Tuesday with my husband, myself, and two other co-workers from Heather's 'other' job. Despite my shock that day (having fallen out of the boat and being rescued by Bazil's raft) I am so glad that I had this experience with such wonderful friends. It was truly a trip of a lifetime :) The next day I was ready to go again and see everything that I missed. I think my husband could become a rafting addict!!! Hope you all are having a wonderful time. Thank you again Karen B. - Niskayuna, NY

	Saturday, August 22, 2009 Hi Becky, Thanks for the recipe, I'm looking forward to making it. My husband Mike and I had a great time on Saturday, it was our first time rafting and it was so much fun. Everyone was so nice, easy to talk to and our guide Brian was very helpful. Keep up the great work and next time we're in the area, we'll definitely be scheduling another rafting adventure. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Leigh - New Hyde Park, NY

	Thursday, August 20, 2009 Hi Nate and Becky~~ Thanks for a terrific experience today! My nephew, Sean, had a huge smile on his face the whole day -- and that's saying a lot for a 14 year old kid! Thanks again for everything today and I look forward to rafting with you in the future! Ann Marie - Clifton Park, NY

	Sunday, August 9, 2009 Nate I just wanted to pass on my thanks for the fantastic day we had rafting. My wife, daughter and I all agreed it was the highlight of our US vacation, which included a number of great experiences in NY state and New England. I also hope that you and your wife enjoyed your first anniversary. Richard H. - Kent, England

	Saturday, August 8, 2009 Good Moring Nate and Becky- Wow! My daughter and I had a terrific time rafting with your company last Saturday! This was the first time down the river for both of us, she is thirteen so of course “fear” is not a word she is familiar with, I on the other hand was very nervous and did not know what I was in for. It took me just a few minutes to get over my fear, and to totally enjoy the experience. We are already planning our next trip and trying to talk everyone we know into joining us, you may need more rafts!! Jan A. - Canajoharie, NY

	Sunday, August 2, 2009 Thanks so much, Becky! My friends and I can't stop talking about how much fun we had yesterday, and how fun Heather was. It was neat for me because I have been bugging my friends for a while to go rafting, and that was the group I came up with. It was a bunch of random friends, most of whom didn't know each other! So it was awesome to have a great experience like that that brought great people all together! We loved it, and can't wait to come again. Thanks so much for the food recipes. I can't wait to try! Everything was so delicious. We thought we were getting PB & J. That was so special. And as I told Heather, I am very earth conscious myself so noticed little things like reusable cups, reusable bags for the food, etc. We will certainly go through your company again, and had a blast despite the terrential downpour. Thanks again! Adrianne Adrianne G. - New Hartford, NY

	Thursday, July 30, 2009 Nate, Thanks for another great day. Everyone had a good time. Andi was a little sore the next day after her ride through the rapids. Hope to get up again this fall. I'll be in touch. Cathy C. - Roxbury, NY

	Tuesday, July 28, 2009 Hello, My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time rafting with you last Tuesday. We also loved the veggie burritos that you all brought along with you for our lunch. Would you mind passing along the recipe? Thanks sooo much and again we had a blast and will definitely reccommend you guys to any of our friends interested in rafting! Alida O. - Ithaca, NY

	Thursday, July 23, 2009 Becky, Nate and Eric, Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the very memorable trip down the Hudson last week. We bumped into the Jankowski Family last night, all decked out in their newly purchased NC Rafting Co. shirts and were thrilled to hear that they too had a beautiful day under your guidance. Also heard that they were treated to the bean burritos and cookies that we devoured during our lunch. Wondering if it might be easy enough for you to pass the recipes on to us. I came home and purchased all the ingredients that I thought were in the burrito, but have not attempted to make them! Many thanks. Jen W. - Wilton, CT

	Saturday, July 11, 2009 Nate & Becky: We had a really fabulous time Saturday on the Hudson. Becky was a great guide! The food was amazing - You guys run a great company...no corners cut and outstanding personal service. Fun time had by all. Can't wait to open this up to the rest of the family next year! Bring it on! Mari - Delmar, NY

	Saturday, July 11, 2009 Had a great time last week. Will send people to your wonderful experience and great team!! Jeff Z. - Clinton, NY

	Sunday, July 5, 2009 Hi Nate and Becky, We just wanted to thank you for wonderful time we had on July 5th.. We had rode on the raft with Nate. He did a wonderful job navigating us through the rapid and the views were beautiful. Also, thanks for all your information on the hiking trails In Minerva. Becky had made a wonderful lunch the day we went out. I was wondering if I could get the recipe? Thanks again for a Great Day on the River!!! Andrea & Kevin - Westmont, NJ

	Saturday, June 20, 2009 Hi there! Just wanted to drop you a note and say what a fabulous time we had rafting on Saturday!! Our group is still raving about how much fun it was! We definitely are looking forward to another trip...hopefully this season.. just to prepare you! hahaha.. Sophia - Willsboro, NY

	Saturday, June 13, 2009 We had a great time. Nate was an awesome tour guide. Thanks for the adventure. Sam M. - Hartsdale, NY

	Monday, September 29, 2008 I went on one of your trips this past Saturday, we were the two person raft with Eric as our guide. I wanted to say that we had a lot of fun, the food was great and you guys were all wonderful! We look forward to coming back! Judith - Holland Park, NJ

	Tuesday, September 23, 2008 Thank you so much for that recipe. I am very excited to try it. It is very evident to me that I chose the perfect rafting company for us. I had previously called about three other companies, and googled at least 15 before deciding to go with you. When speaking to you on the phone it became evident that you knew a lot more about rafting in the North Creek area and that you were laid back, relaxed, and hospitable, three things I found very important. Thanks for a wonderful rafting experience. I know we'll be back next year, maybe for high water in the spring. Take Care!! G. Atkinson - Canton, NY

	Monday, September 22, 2008 Our kids haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had on the trip! We hope to be back soon! And thanks again for the recipes! Just in time for new ideas for school lunches! E. Waldstein - Rydal, PA

	Tuesday, September 4, 2007 We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for a great first rafting experience for our family. We just received the photo in the mail yesterday and we've been meaning to send along this letter since our adventure on August 21. We had a fabulous time and the personal attention shown by you, Rebecca, and Eric made it so much more enjoyable. We watched the other companies and the way they packed their rafts and were on top of one another throughout the trip; that isn't what we experienced. We specifically wanted to send along a little something for Eric for showing us such a great day and making it a fun experience for us and the kids. Can you please give this to him and thank him for us. All the best luck to you in this venture. We'll be back! The Forsyth Family - West Granby, CT

	Monday, July 2, 2007 Our trip was fantastic and Brian was top-notch. Thanks again. J.D. & Christine - Albany, NY
