Austin Adventures Should Be Awesome Adventures

17-Jun-2023

We took the Grand Teton -Yellowstone Family Adventure June 25-30, 2023. It was beyond incredible. A friend had recommended Austin Adventures after taking his family on the same trip a couple of years ago. He was super excited about how great the guides were and how wonderful it was for his whole family. It was far beyond our expectations. We had Dereck, Moose and Nicole as our guides and they went far beyond our expectations on every phase of the trip. What a team they were in interacting with our grandkids ranging in age from six to seventeen. They prepared outstanding lunches out on the trails and they gave us so many facts about the history, geology, nature and what to expect. We could never have had such an experience on our own. It was worth every penny of the cost. The lodging was outstanding, the meals were superb, the hikes were fantastic, the biking was just right for our group, and the rafting was incredible. They would stop so we could see wildlife, and they explained things such as what fur was left on the trees the animals rubbed against. They had the bikes sized right, and even saw to it that our request for a tag along bike was met for the six year old. They acquired an extra large helmet for my head, when the large didn’t fit on day one. The guides felt like part of our family. Several in our party of 12 balked at the white water rafting, but we trusted the guides and everyone went. They all loved it!! It went too fast is all I can say and we will never forget that as our best ever family vacation.
