Absolutely awesome whitewater adventure!
Thrilling! Safe. Skilled. Organized. Customer-oriented. Educational. If you are looking for a rafting outfit that will take you and your friends/family down the American River and give you an absolutely amazing, safe, and well organized adventure, choose H2O Adventures. Here is a brief description of our trip: We were told to meet in Auburn in the morning, and the guides and transportation vans were there waiting for us. Everyone was totally chill and friendly as we assembled and were quickly off to our put-in location. Before we put in, we had a thorough safety briefing as we donned our safety gear, and then quickly we were in the water. The trip itself was amazing. Our guide Ben was an expert at navigating the rapids so that we experienced the thrill of each stretch of the river, but we never felt like our safety was comprised. Before we got to each rapid, Ben would explain how the water was flowing and where our boat would go as he steered through them. We heard each river guide do this before their boats entered the rapids. Along the way, Ben told us about the river and different animals and just kept us engaged in what was coming up. There was a spot where the boats pulled over to let people jump off a rock into the river if they were interested. Halfway down, we stopped for lunch, which was a fresh and delicious. At the point where we pulled our boats out, the vans were waiting. It only took about 10 minutes to get the boats out, onto the vans, and everyone loaded up for short drive back to Auburn. The staff had ice chests with water and soda waiting for us. Overall, I can’t recommend this rafting company enough. The trip was so well organized, the staff was so friendly and skilled, and my group got to experience the rush of white water adventures and we never felt at risk or in danger. Thanks Ben and the people at H2O Adventures!

SO GOOD
had an extremely wonderful day on the lower middle Fork American with Devon as our guide today. (A Wednesday ) We saw almost no other boats, and several mother mergansers with their broods in tow. The trip was a birthday gift for my seven-year-old granddaughter and she said it was the best birthday gift she has ever received. The shuttle drivers and our guide were just all absolutely great and warm and friendly and knowledgeable and we all Felt very safe the whole day long. And at the end of the trip we were met with brownies which was a very sweet surprise in many ways ha ha. could not more highly recommend them, both the brownies and H2O adventures!!!:)
