Your adventure begins at Camp Lotus at 9 AM (or 10 AM for the Lower Gorge option). After meeting your guides, you’ll be fitted with rafting gear and receive a safety and paddling orientation before heading out on the river.
Most guests start by rafting the South Fork American River, a fun and exciting stretch that’s perfect for warming up. After the trip, return to camp to relax with a hot shower, swim, play games, or unwind by the river before enjoying a gourmet three-course dinner.
Wake up to fresh coffee and a continental breakfast prepared by your guides. Then hop in the shuttle to continue your adventure—many guests choose the thrilling North Fork American River for a more challenging second day.

EXCELLENT Based on 323 reviews 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!Posted on Google Robert McPeekApril 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing trip, did the whole day on the North Fork American River!
