We had the best whitewater rafting experience as a beginners and all thanks to this company. Their service is so good, right from reservations, providing all the gear and their staff. We did the south fork lower gorge express half day trip. Our instructor, Aldo was great. Highly recommend this place for rafting.

We had an Amazing Time !! Thanks To our Captain Rene. we were a party of 6 in our Raft with 2 7 years old Boys. We took the Gourge Express level 3-4. The kids were all excited, we got our Life vests, helmets, and paddles. we were told by our Captain to carry a water bottle as we might be thirsty in sun for 4 hrs. We got our instructions and all excited to get in the raft. Hope they Sanitise the Vest and Helmet Kids got settled in the Middle and with their paddle, they started BUT the Paddle was TOOO big for them so Captain suggested they to enjoy and they were SAD they will not get to Paddle and it was NO FUN... BUT Captain suggested them to have them sit in Front and Enjoy the First-class View. Initially, water was shallow and slow-flowing so they were not aware of the FUN Ahead. Captain Rene was Knowledgeable and gave good guidance conserving our energy and having fun Captain gave a lesson in case we are dislodged in the stream on how to get back on the raft.. Kids Started to like it as they get to practice jumping in the water and come back to Raft ... As Rapids and satisfies experienced rafters, offering the diversity of classic Sierra foothill scenery, narrow rocky gorges, peaceful calms, and over 50 Class II & III rapids! ALL IN ALL SUPER FUN Recommend Rene !!!!

Our guide was great, and the river is great. But. They gave us a leaky boat and our guide had to pump it up by hand regularly throughout the trip. Also - my mom came with us and she has mobility issues. I called ahead of time to let them know, and I was told “no worries, we can accommodate” but no accommodations were made at all.

Such an amazing experience! The staff is helpful, friendly, and very experienced. The grounds are pristine and the cabins are very comfortable. We did the full day rafting trip and had a blast! The crew prepares a lovely lunch half way …

Questions & Answers

What is the cost

It all depends on what experience you what to have. On their website it gives you all the pricing. But just for example it cost my family of four just under $500.00 for a 4.5- 5 hour (half day) rafting experience. Well worth it!

Do you open for white water rafting on Oct. 16,2021? I am interest in booking that day for half day and it will be lever2&3 . Planning a trip with couple of friends for my man birthday. Please let me know

Depends what course you want to do. We did Middle Fork yesterday 9/25 and it was the last weekend of 2021 season. Maybe they do South Fork 'til late Oct.

We are camping at the Coloma Resort. Would this be a good company to go with?

Yes. They are a great outfitter and we had a fantastic time on our trip last year. In fact we are going again this summer.

Is there an age limit for children ?

Depends what class/level you are interested in. For level 4 and more I believe the min age is 12. There's no age limit, but you need some basic skills. Guides will teach you the basics right on the river shore.

Nope, just from Auburn/Coloma to the river and back to the meeting point.
