We sail and flat water kayak, but had never been white water rafting. The Don Hatch Green River - Split Mountain Canyon raft trip is a great first trip. The scenery is beautiful and the river run was fun. You can believe all the reviews stating how good the lunch was and how well guests were taken care of. The staff is knowledgeable about the canyon and have lots of stories to tell. The guides worked well together and handled the rafts expertly. We will most definitely be doing another trip with Don Hatch.
This company did a wonderful job and our guide Josh was great! Of course, Dakota packed a pretty awesome lunch, and I'm sure they couldn't have done it without Bruce's supervision. Seriously worth the time and the money. They are professional, polite, and proficient!
I can't say enough about what a great time my family and I had on the rafting trip through split mountain on the green river. Josh, our guide was terrific as well as all of the other guides in our group. What beautiful
We four adults were visiting Flaming Gorge for the first time and knew nothing about the area. I booked a half-day rafting trip with Don Hatch based upon date, time, and online reviews. We could not have been happier with the choice. The outfit was extremely professional and really fun. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip, from the Dinosaur Monument petroglyphs to the rafting trip to the bus rides. The staff was great overall, with special mentions going to rafting guide Josh and bus driver Brenda. It was the first rafting trip for all of us and we'd love to go again, as long as we can go with OARS and Don Hatch!
My family went rafting down the split river. My daughter is 8, and the rapids were just right for her. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and made the trip very memorable for us.
My 9 year old doughter and I did the one day raft down green river and both had a wonderful experience. Beatifull sightings, just enough exciting rapids and very griendly and experienced guides.
We have been rafting with Hatch for over 30 years. They are always professional, friendly, and the price of the float is very reasonable. Lee was a great guide. The water was clear and clean, the scenery was beautiful, and the wildlife was amazing. Great horned sheep, eagles, and even rabbits. The crew was very conscientious about keeping the area clean and free from pollution. I will use them again and again. They are the best.
All the reviews about the food and the scenery were spot on. Just an amazing trip. I went with my dad (age 67) and two brothers. The trip was as active as you made it. You could cruise along all day or stay active by paddling in the kayaks or paddle boat. For first time rafters, we were worried about the level 3 rapids, but they were a breeze. Of course, the food was top notch as were the accommodations. My favorite part were the guides. Brett W., Brett J., Andrew, Stacey, Joe, and Scott were so knowledgeable and personable. Really made the trip for me. I will absolutely be taking another rafting trip and I wouldn't book with anyone but these guys!!!!
Took the half day Split Mountain rafting and had a thoroughly good time. Guides Matt and Josh really knew their stuff and made the day fly by, being friendly, fun, and professional. This was my first day rafting and I'd certainly go again. After watching the video I was feeling a bit apprehensive, but there's no skimping on health and safety with these guys. Their aim is to make sure you have fun and stay safe. They guide you through everything you need for an enjoyable day. Lunch was included - sandwiches on a beach, and we were back in Vernal for 3pm.A fantastic day out and well worth the 89 dollars.
Wonderful trip! Spectacular scenery on the last wild river in Colorado River basin. Great group, led by Brett, very knowlegeable on the geology, anthropology, botany, river lore and history of the area. Rapids were great and we had plenty of opportunities to try out the oar boats, paddle boats, kayaks and SUPs. And they are great cooks to boot! The front office was a pleasure to work with -- every aspect of the trip was well planned and executed. We had a blast and will definitely be back!
