    What our clients are saying

    • I enjoyed everything about this experience, the staff was awesome. I'll be coming back for sure. I've already recommended you guys to several people. Thank you guys!

    • Our family of four including our teenagers loved the rafting, it was the highlight of our two week holiday. Safety was clearly important and I was impressed but the talk and the seriousness with which it was given. The rapids were great fun, exhilarating and were interspersed with stretches of calm in which you could enjoy the beautiful countryside. Lunch was great too. We just loved it all. Thank you

    • The owner greeted us upon our arrival. All of the food was delicious! Our guide, Christian, was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable and funny

    • We've been rafting on the American River for 20+ years and David is definitely at the top of the favorite guide list. All of the guides that day seemed fantastic and we enjoyed every moment of it.
