We booked a white water rafting trip for Monday of our trip, but I was motion sick on my way in on Sunday and didn’t want to make it worse by rafting. We called to cancel and we were told we couldn’t within 48 hours. I had previously been told the week before that I could cancel or not show up and not be charged. The gal worked with us though since we had been given faulty info. We set up to go later in the week and had a blast! The water was freezing, but so worth it. They are very safety conscious, which is very important in doing what we were doing!! Boat butt is real!! lolread more

Excellent from booking, bus ride, to the rafting trip. Adam was our guide, did an outstanding job, very informative fun and made our trip so enjoyable.

Took a level 2/3 whitewater tour as a group of 3. It was our first time rafting, and had a great time. The guides were excellent- safety focused and fun. Another tour capsized two boats, while our large group of beginners didn't lose anyone, showing the prowess and guidance of the instructors. Our guide, "Lunchbox", was awesome. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great day trip.read more

We had a great time on our afternoon trip! Timmy was a fantastic guide. It was my first time whitewater rafting, and I wasn't sure how it would go. Timmy did a great job navigating us through the rapids. There were some intense moments, but they were the fun kind of intense 😉 The Truckee River is beautiful! We even got to get out and swim a few times.Took about 4.5 hours total, which included about 3 hours on the river.read more
