Avery and Grace were amazing with the zip line tour! They were very knowledgeable and accommodating! They made the whole experience fun. They were very accommodating with my elderly aunty who needed a little extra help. They were even great with entertaining, interacting and showing my 11 year old son who has special needs, how to do different styles or tricks safely. My son wanted to rate them 1 million stars. They were so wonderful that we are planning to go back and do kayaking with them as well.

Wow! Just wow! The AWOL Shoshone Falls Kayak Tour was amazing! Swimming next to the waterfall was things dreams are made of! It was THE adventure of the summer! have been four times and this by far was the best experience. Our tour guide made it a fabulous experience. AJ was so incredibly kind, helpful and a great photographer! Lucy was so fun and showed us amazing spots for beautiful pictures. Thank you so much!

AWOL Adventure Sports at Centennial Park made my trip to Twin Falls absolutely incredible! I rented a kayak and was able to paddle right up to the waterfalls — it was breathtaking. The views were surreal, especially with the mist from the falls and a rainbow arching over the water. One of the most magical moments was seeing a group of deer standing on the cliffside right by the water — absolutely stunning and totally unexpected. It felt like something out of a nature documentary. The staff Logan, Grace, Xzander were all super friendly, helpful, and made sure we felt safe and confident before heading out. Definitely adding to the experience having such amazing staff. If you're anywhere near the area, this is a MUST-DO! It’s one of the most unique and peaceful ways to experience the beauty of Shoshone Falls up close. Can’t recommend them enough!

Took the morning kayak tour to Shoshone Falls on 7/15. It was AMAZING! Our guides, Xander and Nate were fantastic. We paddled and chatted with Nate on the way to the Falls and with Xander on the way back. They shared some history of the canyon. Really enjoyed the stop at the base of the Falls and being able to get out and take photos. We had a really nice group too.

Just took a kayak tour to Shoshone Falls with AWOL. Super chill way to spend a morning! Our guides, Avery and Braxton were fantastic and really added to our adventure. We also enjoyed our boat driver Kyle who told us all about the Base jumper we got to watch on our cruise back to Centennial Park. It’s was a super easy kayak trip, but also totally worth it.
