You will meet us at 9:30 AM at the private Camp Lotus campground, where you’ll meet your guide. After client check in is complete, we shuttle you up the river canyon to the starting point of our trip. Then you will be outfitted with everything you need to enjoy your trip, including paddles, life jackets and helmets.
You’ll enjoy some of the most fun rapids and beautiful views the American River has to offer.
You will be returned to your starting point between 1 and 1:30 PM. There, you will have the opportunity to utilize Camp Lotus’s showers and other amenities. Should you wish to camp at Camp Lotus the night prior to or after your rafting trip, simply call us ahead of time.
Our most popular day trip begins with you meeting us at 9:30 at the private Camp Lotus campground. We shuttle you up to the top of the river canyon, providing you with everything you need to enjoy your trip, including paddles, personal flotation devices (lifejackets), helmets, a safety orientation and professional guides.
Here the river starts out with thrills right from the start. After practicing our paddling and getting comfortable in the raft you will have the opportunity to surf a hole at Chile Bar rapid, if you choose, before tackling exciting rapids like Meatgrinder, Triple Threat and culminating in the most challenging and exciting rapid on the river, Trouble Maker. Yet even in this stretch our guides have the ability to play with the features giving you additional thrills or guide you safely and serenely back home, depending on what you are looking for.
Next, enjoy the calming stretch through historic gold discovery state park in Coloma and back to your cars where we first meet, between 1:00 and 1:30. Once back at your car, you will have the opportunity to relax on the grass fields or take a hot shower before you leave. You also can choose to camp at our camp before and/or after your trip with a gourmet breakfast and/or dinner if you choose. Simply call us ahead of time.
