Our trips are fun for everyone... first timers and veteran rafters alike will have the time of their lives on the American River! We are the perfect outdoor activity for families, company outings and special events of all types!
What sets us apart from other rafting companies is our staff. Our uniquely skilled river guides each average more than 12 years of rafting experience on the American River and other rivers throughout the world. We raft with safety as our number one objective and we do fun stuff that no other company with less experience can:
- Surf waves and "ride the bull" just by asking your guide!
- Learn about the unique history of the Coloma area and California's Gold Rush.
- If a mellow raft float is what you prefer, we love to do that as well!
