Thrilling ride! Kelly was an exceptional guide as we threaded our way through over six class IV rapids. She invited one of our crew to “ride the bull” by sitting on the bow while we hit a Class III, which greatly added to the fun. We had a blast - highly recommend this trip!

My husband and I did this together with my 13 year old daughter. Deven explained very well before we went out to the water what we had to do. My daughter and I were a bit nervous, but he always explained with great detail and encouraged us. Our group consisted of some older ladies and he also made them feel confident and we did very well. None of us fell out. Ha ha! Only thing I would add, would be some nice hot black coffee during lunch!! Lunch was delicious, we built our own wraps. It wasn’t to heavy. It was perfect to give us energy to finish off the day. Over all this was such a great experience, my daughter still talks about it. And loves to encourage others to try it. She says deven brought out the adventurous side of her. And she would gladly do it again. But as long as we have the same guide. He made us feel safe, and confident. Thank you

So fun, the best river rafting experience! A must do. H2O Adventures were the best company. Loved it. Tyler and Marina the guide were the best ever!!

H2O Adventures was great and our guide Nate was exceptional.
I recommend this to anyone in decent shape, Class 4 rapids can be challenging but is just the right amount of danger to get your adrenaline up.
Would do it again today :)

very well organized. Lunch was amazing. Guides were great. my family had great time. We were a party of 4 . 2 of us were non swimmers but still we felt safe and take care off. Everyone was checked whether they were wearing the life jackets and helmets properly, Would definitely recommend it.

From beginning to end this excursion was the best! All of the crew friendly, personable and knowledgeable in all things rafting. Lunch and snacks was included and fantastic. Lastly but not least, Keegan Keegan Keegan! He was our guide and is as fun and professional as it gets. He was the best rafting guide for an exciting, thrilling and safe ride. Definitely would come back to other excursions just to have him as our guide. Book H20 adventure for an experience you surely won’t forget.

The tunnel shoot was super fun. The entire trip was extremely, fun and full of excitement the entire day.

Our guide Mike was great! Took really good care of our family. Brownies at the end were a nice touch as well. Only thing that was weird was they wouldn’t return our cell phones to us when we got to the shuttle but made us wait until we got back to the drop off destination.

I was looking for an adventurous outdoors activity to share with my two teenage sons. Rafting the middle fork of the American River was perfect! It was a great day of nature, exciting whitewater, learning how to stay in a raft, and great instruction and conversation with Devin, our guide.

The trip was amazing. Recommend everyone should at least try it once in their lifetime.
The kids love it.
Thank you Devon! You were funny and ensure our safety at the same time.
We will definitely do it again next year.

Our guide, Ben was phenomenal. He was very savvy re the rapids, took an interest in each person on our raft, and really looked out for our safety.
The trip itself was very well organized with friendly & professional staff at every encounter. The rapids were thrilling & plentiful, even for a very experienced rafter as I am. Lunch was great.
The only thing I didn’t like (& wasn’t prepared for) was when we had to disembark the raft and climb up (& then down) big rocks to avoid a dangerous rapid.

What a great adventure we had ! Beautiful scenic area and treacherous rapids! But your company made those rapids fun ! Our guide Nikki and all of your other employees were the best I’ve ever seen. And we saw many companies running the rapids that day. Their experience and their professionalism was so impressive and welcome. And their knowledge of the river was Absolutly amazing. The equipment and rafts used were newer and in tremendously better condition than the others on the river also. We will be back and soon. And when we do H2O is the ONLY company for us ! Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime !
