Our guide Sara was so impressive. She was engaging and so encouraging to the 5 teens we had on the raft. She made the trip really fun and entertaining for all. The rapids were also fantastic at this time of the year.Posted on Google Renee BannonMay 24, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a blast with MJ last Tuesday. Jumped out on one of the rapids and then was bumped out, but totally worth it and the soreness the next few days was all worth it! What an awesome day!! Thank you.Posted on Google Ready HospitalityApril 21, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a Bachelor Party and had a blast! We were one of the few groups on the river due to the poor weather, but it just made it that much more enjoyable. We had Johnny and Walker as guides and they had such electric personalities, I don't think we could have had a better time.Posted on Google Luis GuzmánApril 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with this rafting company! The ride itself was incredibly fun, and the scenery along the river was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. We did the full-day South Fork American River trip, and the rapids were exciting without ever feeling dangerous, which made the experience perfect for both thrill and comfort. A big highlight of the trip was our guide, Wyatt. He did an excellent job explaining everything we needed to know in great detail and made sure we felt safe and prepared the entire time. He was also very patient and accommodating, always willing to consider our requests as long as they were reasonable. That really made the experience feel more personal and enjoyable. The lunch provided was also delicious, which was a great bonus after spending time on the river. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, scenic, and well-organized adventure. Definitely worth it!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
