Spicy rafting on the Lower New - 5 of us, three older teens and two 50+ers. Mikey Hendricks was our guide and made the trip an absolute blast. (Except some of his jokes made you want to jump off the raft😄) He asked if we wanted it “spicy” and he delivered. Great knowledge of the river and answered all our questions. Lunch was very good with plenty for all. If you have never rafted before, stop what you’re doing and call the folks at Ace and schedule a trip with Mike or any of the other professionals. You won’t regret it. And remember to support Mikey Hendricks in 2058. It’ll Be Lit!

Highly recommend-Awesome white water lower New River - Viator did Not inform us we needed to be there one hour early in order to catch the bus. I called the adventure company on another matter and they informed me. This was an awesome trip, I’m so glad we did not miss it. Excellent guides-great instructions-great white water. Even lunch had vegetarian options. Great people to spend this great time with.

Unforgettable experience! - I had one of the funniest days of my life rafting with them. Even the straps being level 5, I felt safe and oriented all the time. Guides and staff super well prepared, cordial and well-humored. Our guides Jen and Maggie were a differential on the ride. The quality of the lunch served should also be mentioned. All the food was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend New River Gorge National Park.

Going with the flow - Best experience we could have imagined. Rapids and activities were a good mix of challenge and fun. These folks love their jobs and provide an awesome mix of expertise and fun! Small rafts = more personalized experience than other places offer and they take their time getting you down the river to allow for rock jumps, swimming in rapids, floating and enjoying learning local lore and the scenery.

Marcus is the guide ACE is the place - This was our 5th time visiting the New River with ACE. Why???? Because it's freaking amazing! Rafting with Marcus and ACE is the best way to ensure your family has a memorable and life-changing experience. Disney can suck it! Marcus is the guide you ask for and you will have an experience your family will talk about for years to come!

Rafting with Scotty O - 8/20/24 - Beautiful, fun rafting trip. Our guide, Scotty O was fantastic! He made the trip fun and relaxing! We learned about the area and laughed the whole way. Scotty’s experience really showed through the whole trip and will be requesting him on our next trip!

Lots of fun! - Our guide Chris was exceptional at keeping us rowing together and keeping us in the boat. He knew his local history and the names of most large rocks.

WV beauty - The whole thong was wonderful. Even when our raft flipped and somehow I magically pulled myself up and back in. The lady infront of me fell but she was rescued. Very exciting! I feel terrible I didn't have cash when it was over to tip with. And of course I don't have a cash app. 😞
