    My family of four sons and a husband planned to vacation together when one son had to be on the…read moreeast coast for lacrosse camps. I had my doubts as how to keep 5 boys happy, but then I stumbled upon Crab Apple Whitewater Rafting! Our family had only been rafting once in Northern California so we were inexperienced to say the least. Plus, a few of us jump out of ride lines at amusement parks soooo... Our paintball guide was Alex and he was perfect for my group of competitive one-uppers. He was patient, kind, and had a funny, commanding personality. My teenage sons needed a big, strong guy to lead them. It was so fun! even for a 46-year old mom. There were two locations to play on and they also had cold water for us and some bug spray to top off with. We enjoyed the ride out there with Chuck, the patriarch/owner. Restaurant food was great! No complaints from the kids-- burgers, pizza, nuggets, salad and specials. Next day was rafting. the head guide exuded confidence and therefore calmed us all. He had about 30 years experience. I felt very safe. Our guide was Alex again. He was fantastic! Calming the fears of my 11-year old and talking us through the class IVs. He also let each boy try their hand at steering, teaching them with encouragement. No egos here at Crab Apple. Just humble good people. After we had a fun and delicious bbq prepared by the guides. Just a real good vibe! I also want to mention Dawn, who packed an enormous to-go bag with breakfast items when she learned we were leaving at 5am to catch a plane in Boston. Talk about going above and beyond! I highly recommend Crab Apple for individuals and families alike. Five Stars to Chuck and his classy, hardworking family.

Safety was paramount. Loved the format as well - raft, eat, relax! Loved the photos and video! We are trying to figure out how and when to get back to take our kids along for the ride! Would highly recommend them to anyone wanting an exceptional experience on and off the river in Maine.

    TLDR: Super fun rafting experience, difficult to find the lodging area, lunch provided was yummy…read more Would definitely do this again. We had a party of 12 staying at the Airbnb lodging from Friday to Sunday and participated in the rafting on Saturday. Weather is hard to plan for but in August, it felt like the chances of warm/hot weather would be decent. Unlucky for us, it was quite cloudy and chilly-hovering 60's. Rafting Experience 5/5 - Everybody had a great time!! Strapped on helmet and lifejackets to start the day and then took a bus up the river. Each boat had a 'guide' and our guide (Bryan/"Viking") was awesome. He told us great stories and facts throughout the ride and helped carefully steer us through some intense rapids. The last.. maybe half hour.. of the rafting was fairly quiet and not intense at all. This would've been fine if it was hot and sunny but the weather was super cloudy, chilly, and windy. Not ideal when you're drenched. Airbnb Lodging 3/5 - Plenty of clean beds that could fit a large party. They also had a large dining room table and an open kitchen. We were not able to get Wi-Fi unfortunately and the tv didn't connect to anything. Not a fan of the carpet flooring in one of the two bathrooms. Food 5/5 - They served lunch right after the rafting experience and the food was great!! We had the option of beef, chicken, and vegetarian. Came with rice pilaf, coleslaw, bread roll, and a slice of cake. Everything was yummy, some folks were able to get seconds as any leftovers were going to be tossed. Service 5/5 - Staff were all super friendly and happy to help. Knowing we're not from the area, they tried to offer us solutions to any problems we ran into. Great group of folks to work with. Location.. 1/5 - We had a huge group (3 cars) going up from Boston after work on a Friday (about 4.5-5hr drive) so we all got to the area very late at night. The drive wasn't that bad but finding the Airbnb Lodging was very difficult. Since it was after work hours, late at night, nobody picked up when we tried calling for assistance. There are just not enough guidance around the area to show customers where to park or how to find their lodging. We had to circle the site a few times before we realized where the building was. On our second night, we encountered a couple that were lost and had trouble looking for their lodging area.

    I have gone 3 times here, and they do a great job. Good experience all around. Large groups can…read morerent the lodge, it's a cool place to hang after rafting. BYOB !

    Very last minute adventure to try WW Rafting for the first time…read more I arrived right before our bus was to be leaving...got lost along the way. The staff was kind and patient even though I'm sure it was annoying to have us show up in the midst of the safety lecture! Our guide Eric, came with a total of 32 years experience, such a positive and easy going attitude, and an aura of joy! Having never been rafting before I was quite nervous, but after just a few minutes getting with Eric, and observing him in the boat, I knew I was in the best hands possible. What I feel is important to know is that, the people you choose to spend the day rafting with-in your boat-should be people you feel comfortable with. There was a single man that joined our group, and because of his very potent body odor, inability to allow the guide to speak at times, and his obtrusive wooden oar, my experience felt slighted at times. This man meant no harm and is just going about his life, I just wish I could have slapped some deodorant on him Anywho-Eric did a fantastic job doing what he does so well...GUIDING...he read his group, got to know our strengths, and then allowed us to have a very memorable and cherished experience!! I would have to say that the lunch served at camp, after the trip, was less than desirable. Whether you decide to take a day trip or stay overnight, I highly recommend Moxie!

    Agree with all the other yelpers. Moxie's Outdoor Adventures…read moreis aptly named. It is well worth the drive, the rafting is amazing. Cliff and his guides & staff are top notch. Our group had a blast & I would go back solo, it was that much fun! Even the young children in our group got to go via the special raft Cliff guided for them. They loved it. The Forks area is beautiful. We hiked & biked as well. As an FYI cell reception is spotty in the area

    We did the Kennebec River Rafting Full Day Raft and Full Day Funyak over the past weekend. It…read morewas wonderful!! We spend 2 nights in a cabin on the Moxie camp site - it had 4 full size beds (we only needed one) but it would be great for a larger group of people. It had a night sitting area with a kitchen table if you wanted to cook over the camp fire (because we were on vacation....I did not want to cook!!) So we bought the meal plan. It seems that most people buy the breakfast, lunch is on the river during the rafting trips and dinner seems to be skipped by most - but it is pretty solid and worth it!! The lunch was steak or chicken, pasta salad and the best baked beans ever!!! if you are looking for a veggie option - they make their own veggie burgers (they looked great and people loved them). The only thing I could ask for would have been dessert (but i have a sweet tooth!! - taller half could have cared less) The staff was outstanding - felt like family. Phil checked us in -(he is the do it all man...from driving the moose tour, the buses and fixing anything you need man) he was very friendly and helpful. We bought firewood (5 dollars for a good size bundle) from him - he set up our fire pit so all we had to do was light it! The camp has 4 bathrooms and 2 showers - they were clean and lots of light (there are no bathrooms in the cabins) no fear walking to them after the sunset. The first day we did a half of day white water rafting with Angela (she was wonderful!!) and Funyaked the 2nd half of the river. The second day we rafted the entire river with Randy (he was wonderful!!!) We were able to swim in the river, paddle our hearts out on class 4 rapids and enjoy a few lazy miles at the end of the river. We even saw a bald eagle along the river!!! The guides know what they are doing and really do their best to make sure you and the boat have the best time ever. We look forward to going back to Moxie in the future! And if you like the leaves as the change color - Moxie is a great way to have some fun while you see the wonderful colors!
