We are rated as the #1 rafting company on the American River... here's why!

- Our river guides enjoy our working environment and have the personality and skills to make your trip truly special.
- Our spacious private riverfront resort is never crowded which makes our overnight trips truly memorable and enjoyable.
- We're old school... we believe that a day on the river should be relaxing and fun. Our trips are designed to keep you away from the crowds.

Big thanks to John, our guide for the afternoon south fork trip today. This was the first rafting trip for my wife and I and we will remember it for a long time to come. He was very nice, answered any and all questions we had during the trip and shared lots of great stories too.
I will definitely let anyone I know about your trips if they come out to the area. It was well worth the trip for us. This was one day of our week long trip to Lake Tahoe to celebrate our 20th anniversary.
Thanks again.
