Guided Whitewater Adventures in California

Active Adventure

Whitewater rafting on Class II - IV rivers in California. Great for any skill or adventure level enthusiast. Whether you're a first timer or an adrenaline lover you will be sure to have a great time.

Typical Day

You meet us at a designated location and time for your trip. The guests are check in, geared up and then shuttled off to the put-in. After rafting for a time, we stop for a plentiful and delicious deli-style lunch including our fresh baked cookies. After satisfying your appetite we load up back into the rafts and continue the adventure down the river. At take-out, the gear is loaded up and we shuttled the guests back to the meeting place and hope to see you again! (If you are on a 2-day trip, dinner, camp, breakfast and another day of rafting would follow.)

Age range, type of group

We welcome singles, families, friends, businesses, churches, schools, bachelor, bachelorette parties and other activity groups. If you are between the ages of 8 and 80, we have something for you! Make sure you check out our discounts below.

Sleeping and meals

No matter which trip you choose, we are available to help you arrange sleeping accomodation . If you are a 2-day trip, camping is at our private river front campground which includes a country style BBQ dinner, slide show and full breakfast. Lunch is included on all 1-day trips as well as refreshments at the end of the day. Located not far the our meeting place, a wide variety of restaurants are available. We would be happy to help with your selection.

Restrictions

We do not allow pets or smoking on the rafts as it is a safety issue. Our trips take up a good portion of the day, so it might be a good idea to not bring pets. If you smoke, you can take them with you to have at lunch time or take-out. Because of policy and liability restrictions we have minimum ages for each of our rivers so please be sure to ask our staff.
