This is a really fun trip. I have gone five years, almost comsecutively. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because the food is pretty rough (not really in line with the price). We bring our own food for the most part now (the BBQ lunches are okay). We have made this into a girls trip and enjoy every minute of it. I like to get in early on Friday so that I can set up camp (and have a margarita). The river is fun; realy more like tubing than white water rafting. What else can I say? Great staff, nice gear, well-organized. We have already booked the annual girls 2013 trip and can't wait. read more

I did my second trip. We had a great time again! The staff does everything they possibly can to make it a safe and fun adventure. I come up on Friday and spend the week-end. We set up camp, there is a fire going which we use to make dinner or for a few bucks more they'll make dinner for you! Saturday lunch and dinner are incredible! All you can eat - lunch is Polish dogs and salad watermelon. Dinner is steak and sides (corn on the cob grilled in the husk) The river is lots of fun. It can be scary at times. I strongly suggest that you follow the instructions which are provided. I think the most important are if you fall out the boat, keep your feet up and in front of you-- feet first not head first! The other instruction we found helpful was to practice turning the boat and working together BEFORE we hit the rapids! We didn't have it very well together and didn't bring a few things. They have a little trailer which stocks everything one needs for the trip at reasonable prices. We even rented air mattresses! Everything runs like clockwork. Guides are along the river at strategic points, buses run frequently between camp and take out/put in sites. Cache Creek is a hidden gem less than 2 hours from SF. There are two operators in the river and I've used both. The other Whitewater Adventures is more crowded and they don't allow a Friday night stay over. It doesn't seem as personal and I didn't feel as well cared for. read more

Cache Canyon River Trip: It was my first time rafting and I couldn't have had more fun! The entire environment for the overnight camping was so homey and everyone was really friendly. The food was so good too. They were so accommodating, making sure vegetarians like me were well taken care of. Most places consider a vegetarian meal just a hot dog bun with some peanut butter... but this was not most places-- I ate like royalty. I can't wait to come again... but next time I'll bring more sunscreen :) read more

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A WELL PUT TOGETHER COMPANY THAT WILL ENSURE YOUR SAFETY ON THE RIVER, yet allow the good times to roll...CACHE CANYON RIVER TRIPS is the way to go!!! Personally, I don't usually take the time to write reviews but these guys really deserve it! I've been rafting with this company for the past 5 summer, and each summer I at least make it up there for 2 trips down the river. Always professional and super friendly customer service. The Journey through the river is sweet too, it's not super intense where you have to hold on for dear life, and it's not super calm where you're spending your whole afternoon paddling. Also, for some reason the groups that I've gone with have always been guided by "SPYDER"...if you're lucky you'll have the chance to raft with him, he's an awesome guide? well he's more like the group wrangler, he makes sure that everyone gets in safe, keeps all drunks in line, helps you if you lose your ass on the river, and still allows you to have a great time. I hope this review has been helpful and if you're debating between the other 2 companies up there running the same gig, I GUARANTEE... cache canyon is the way to go! not to mention, they take pictures for you to remember the good times. read more

I can't believe there aren't more reviews of Cache Canyon River trips! I did the one-day trip last Sunday, and it totally surpassed my expectations. It's not too far from SF and it only cost $35 per person. Plus, you can stop at the casino on the way back :) The Chronicle wrote a pretty comprehensive review several years ago, so I don't feel like I need to write much myself. You can read their review here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/07/06/TR293382.DTL Bring a dry bag and a bailer! read more

We did the 2 day trip this Jul;y 4th weekend. This is in every way a first class professional operation. The cost is more than reasonable. The boats are great. The food is tasty and there is plenty of it. The staff could give lessons to a 4 star hotel. My wife and I can't remember when we had this much fun. Cache Canyon River Trips is under new ownership and wow what a difference. These guys really know how to make you feel welcome. I'm 67 and felt like a teenager. It helped that there was so many folks to lend a hand but it was just a blast. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation to have one of the all time great fun and thrill weekends. read more

Just came back from a trip with BSA and couldn't be happier. I have rafted with CCRT before and the new owners are a breath of fresh air. I liked the previous owners, but the new owners have really made little changes that add up to a great experience. the food was better, the service excellent and watching my son get up and do Karoake was priceless. read more

WOW, this was an absolutely awesome weekend! We did the two day adventure and had kick-ass time. This was my first attempt at river rafting, and I felt great. The rapids were a little rough for me on the first day, but on day two we went through like pro's. I definitely recommend this company because all of the staff are very knowledgeable and very friendly. Bottom line, take this trip read more

A large group of girl friends have been rafting this river for many consecutive years. We have tried both companies and CACHE CANYON RIVER TRIPS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!! This family owned operation makes sure that everyone has an amazing adventure. Every single staff member is polite, professional, friendly, helpful and truly wonderful. They make sure you are SAFE by staffing heroes all along the river to help if need be. As well, they have staff in boats that will do whatever you need to ensure your safety and fun. Then, once you are back in camp, they make sure all of your needs are met. They are truly friendly and helpful and genuinely care about their guests. I really do not take time to review any businesses; however, the customer service on this trip was absolutely second to none. We will always go back to Cache Canyon River Trips!!!! read more

They should be up-front about the high probability of getting flipped out of your boat on Mother (the most serious rapid). This year the water is particularly crazy and I had a deeply unpleasant underwater experience on Mother including scraping along the bottom and getting pinned - thankfully very temporarily - underwater against a rock. They know a lot of people end up in the water on Mother, that's why they employ people to haul you out of the water. This year (in 2017) it's basically a coin toss whether you will stay in the boat on Mother. They gave a good safety talk about what to do if you end up out of the boat which was very useful, but rafting companies ALWAYS give safety talks - a safety talk doesn't let you know the PROBABILITY of ending up in the water. The reason I am giving one star is that so many people end up out of their boats because Mother is so crazy this year (75% of our party - 3 out of 4 boats - ended up in the water on Mother) and if I and my girlfriend had known the high likelihood of ending up in the water on a rapid we would not have done the trip. They really should be up-front about the probability of taking a dunking in a rapid. The people employed to haul you out of the water do a great job, for one of our party who was knocked out of the boat one of the professional rescuers leapt off a rock into her boat, hauled her back into the boat, and then fell backwards off the boat. But again, my issue they didn't let us know the likelihood beforehand. I have no complaint with the professional rescuers who did a fantastic job. It's the fact that so many people end up in the water on Mother that THEY HAVE TO EMPLOY PROFESSIONAL RESCUERS that is a concern. I have done white water rafting on class 3 rapids with a guide on at least two occasions previously and it was always great fun. The reason this company does not do guided tours on the cache canyon river is *not* because the rapids are relatively mild, it's because Mother is so narrow you can't get a large boat down it, so having a guide in each boat would not be economically feasible. Some useful feedback for their safety talk is they should tell you that if you have a bandana over your face for sun protection you should pull it down before a rapid. read more

Julian And John provide a fantastic trip. Their food is fantastic their equipment is top notch and their demeanor is amazing. They bend over backwards to make sure that your trip is fun safe and enjoyable. A group of well over a 100 people has been going with them for years and have never been disappointed. read more

On a scale of 1 to 10 they get a 20! Owners Mark and Brandy are awesome. Staff were all friendly and professional. Food was fantastic. It was well organized and we had a great camping spot near the creek. Even in the midst of a pandemic, they made this a remarkable weekend for us. As a novice rafter, I was a little apprehensive, but the safety talk before we hit the water was spot on. I did come out of the raft once, but was well prepared. We are already trying to schedule another weekend this season. I think this will become an annual trip for us. Thanks for the memories! read more

I'm a single mom with two teenagers - we had the best trip ever! They both laughed and played and bonded all day. It was affordable on a budget and worth every penny! Both my kids loved it, and thanked me over and over again!! Yay! Major mommy points. We are definitely going back. No phones, nothing but family fun... and so beautiful... read more

It was good place before, still is. But greed make it worse. It's couple of other companies there, with exactly the same everything for less price. Before this one was not bad too, now nothing more then other ones. Also they will make a photo for you. 15$ for one digital copy, so if you have good 10 pictures it will cost you an about a full price of the trip for one person, in·sane. I'm highly disappointed by that and probably will use the other company next year. (Me and my other 3 friends) In general it's OK. Like others. read more

This company was so well managed. It really takes a lot to impress me, Jeff and Julie and their staff thoroughly impressed me. I was a second-timer (first time in a LONG time) to rafting and let's just say I am going back again this season and will plan on going at least twice a year here-on-after. By the 1st morning, Julie, the hostess was already calling us by name and made it a point to make us feel like we were "home away from home" I cannot say enough about the kids that she has working helping you out on the river, assisting if (when) you get stuck, and even at the dinner lines. VERY VERY VERY Good Organization. Great Job guys ... SERIOUSLY! Keep up the good work and here is to many years of success for you guys. FABULOUS!!! --Cynthia read more

What a huge surprise. Whow it was so hard to imagine that 90 minutes in the middle of those brown hills there is white water. But there we were on one of the best day trips I've done in years. From the experienced to the timid everyone in our group was smiling and giggleing all the way down. Just check out the pictures on their site! And this water comes out of Clear lake so it was nice and warm. But the best part has to be the staff at Cache canyon. Right from the beggining it was all good. Quick and helpful orentation, then they show you the water and point you down the river. Bring a small cooler filled with your favorite beverages, mine is beer. It's ok just don't be stupid, right! If you like wet food, you can pack a lunch, but for $10 buy the lunch ticket and leave more room for another beverage. Don't forget the Sunscrean, your going to need it I'll be back and I hope to see you there. Did I mention the casino is on the way home or the excellent stop called "Road Trip" good food and cold drinks with a round of horseshoes Three Cheers and Five Stars for Cache Canyon!!! read more

Wonderful experience! Great hosts. Nice people. They are much better than the other outfit on the water. Julie was an amazing host!. She loves what she does and you feel that from the moment you arrive. She knows hospitality. Why go Cache Canyon vs. Whitewater Adventures? - Better campsites - More river access for campers - bigger beach area - Longer time on the river (almost 45 min longer) once you pass the other guys - Nice fire pit for everyone to share - Great crew with great attitudes - Ice for sale on site - No extra charge for Friday Night camping Thanks for everything Jules ;-) read more

This place is awesome! The staff is amazing, the food is great, and the rafting was a blast!! Making this an annual trip!!

I am scared of a lot of things, but for some odd reason I was not scared about rafting without a guide down Class III rapids. I have been on the American River before, with a guide and many people, but just going alone with a partner on Cache Creek is so worth it. My partner was terrified. She was crying within the first ten minutes and questioning why she decided to do this with me, someone who is inexperienced. The whole run is 9 miles and they give you 6 hours to complete it, at your own leisure. I'm not a very good rafter and the thirty minute orientation didn't do much. By the time you are done listening you really can only learn by doing. I do have to admit I spun in circles down half the creek- crashing into rocks and trees. You do need to keep the life jacket on for this one and lean into the boat if you feel like you will fall out. I really liked the independence of this activity. I don't really like the whole guided tour schpell. I like doing things on my own and this is exactly what this company does. They provide you with the boat, life-vest, and transportation back up to your car. The equipment worked even though it seemed questionable. The life-jacket looked like it was never cleaned and smelled like BO. My boat did have a small hole in the bottom, but hey it's the water...everyone will get wet! Plan for an all day event, because it is fun to stop along the way for snacks and to dump all the excess water out of the boat (which I had to do at least 5 times). The whole run is nice because there are some calm parts were you can jump in and cool off. It sure felt good for a day that was over 100 degrees. The whole activity and event cost $35 a person. Really not bad. And the bonus of it all...at the end of the run they had an ice-chest of free cold beer waiting for you (and lemonade for the non-beer drinkers). I can't wait to go again! read more

My husband and I have been religiously coming up to Cache Canyon for rafting since we met 14 years ago. It's consistently a memorable trip and a day of responsible debauchery (what can I say? we're good kids!) In the last 14 years, Cache Canyon has only gotten better. They've been consistent on: Letting you have a full day of floating down the river with a buddy complete with a little bit of white water fun. Giving you the low-down of what to do in case of an "emergency" and keeping safety as a #1 priority. What they've improved on: They used to have dudes patrolling the river looking for hooligans. Being the teenagers, we were the (somewhat tamed) hooligans who would tie our boats together and flip them upside down for some down-home Huckleberry Finn type fun. Well, Big Brother doesn't follow you down the river anymore, so we have been free to flip and tie and no one has said anything! They offer photography of rafters going down "The Mother", which is really the only dangerous rapid out there. In years past, friends have fallen out, gotten lots of bruises, and other fun stuff. We can't photograph on the way down, so what's better than having a few photographers capture the the fearful faces and hilarious spills. You can purchase discs for a hefty $24, but it's worth it for priceless memories... especially since you get to preview them and see if they're worth it! They offer you beer as you get off the river.... although I've never taken it because it's never been beer I actually wanted to consume (I'm a beer snob, sorry.) Plus, if you're me, you opt for the lemonade, nuts, or pretzels that are free for certainly ravenous crowd. Totally worth the $40 per person fee. We'll be back again for sure to continue the legacy.... read more

Cache Canyon River Trips is my favorite place to go water rafting. I have been rafting here for the past 3 years and every time I go I have more and more fun. I highly recommend to go with a group of 8 to 12 athletic people. That way everyone has the opportunity to easily group up by 2. On this specific occasion, it was about 91 degrees so it was great weather for rafting. The course itself is over 7 miles so make sure that everyone is in shape and can swim because it is a lot of strenuous paddling and there are strong rapids that can knock you into the water. make sure to pack you sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, swim suit, a change of clothes/shoes, closed toed shoes, tons of water, a lunch, and a positive and adventurous attitude. It seems like a lot of stuff, but you can leave some of the stuff in your car. Trust me, after being on the water for 5 hours, you will definitely want to have a fresh pair of clothes and shoes. No one wants to sit in clothes that smells like the river or is covered in algae and sand. They allow you to bring your own lunch and drinks or a BBQ lunch for $10. I would have brought alcohol on this trip, but some of the rapids are quite difficult so I think my group of friends and I would have fell out of our canoes a lot more than we already did. At the end of the day I walked away sore, bruised, cut up, and sunburned, but I absolutely cannot wait til my next visit. read more

I've gone on this water for 8yrs. Our first time with this company and new owners of over two years. OK 1st Julie, John and the boys are the owners and are the best outfit on the Cache hands down. They are the only ones with self bailing 4person rafts, the staff goes way above and beyond what most hotels do for customer service, the food was great, the equipment is first class. If you haven't been rafting and want to, choose this company. They really know what they're doing. read more

I'm associated with a group that does an annual camping/rafting trip at Cache Canyon. Now -- granted -- I don't have a rafting service to compare Cache Canyon to. What I can tell you, though, is that they offer an adventure that is fun without being overwhelming to those who've never rafted before. They're organized, they're polite, and the campgrounds are pleasant albeit a bit crowded at times. Recommended. read more

I can't say enough good things about these people. I liked Cache Canyon before and had come twice before the new owners took over and really they added the bells and whistles that put the icing on the cake. Julie is the friendliest person I've met in a long time and she has definitely raised her boys right because they're terrific too. The staff she employs are all amazing. We ran into an emergency on the river. Our boat flipped and I was pitched over the front, right in front of a huge boulder (not on Mother, where they let you know there is help on site). The rushing water coming over the boulder held me in place below the water so I couldn't come up for air and I couldn't push away to get further down the river. It was a pretty scary moment in time and when I did finally manage to get my head above water I saw someone running across the rocks toward me. I came unpinned just before he got there and floated away to safety. Talking to Julie later I found out that he was yet another of their employees. They have someone stationed at EACH set of rapids to help anyone who, like me in that moment, appears to be in trouble. My advice for future rafters: 1. Go with Cache Canyon! They are great people who will do anything within their power to ensure that you have a wonderful and safe time. 2. If you can, do the two day trip! Unfortunately due to Cal Trans closing a bridge, the second day trip is the same section of river as the first, but you don't have to drive home that night, you get a huge steak dinner, and you WILL be exhausted. 3. Listen to the safety instructions! Duh!!! We were standing talking to the employees when a bikini clad girl floated by on the river. Julie yelled "Where's your life vest?" only to get rolled eyes and a flippant flash of the girl's vest. Julie yelled, "Put it on!!!" and the girl reluctantly did. I have had training as a lifeguard and even though that was a long time ago, I sto;; swim at least a mile three times a week. I consider myself a pretty strong swimmer with decent survival skills in the water. If I didn't have my life vest on when my little incident happened, I think I would have been toast. I think the vest is what helped me to get up high enough to get a breath of air and if the employee who rushed over to helped me did have to fish me out of the river, he had a much better chance of pulling me up with that vest than with a bikini top. The river is fun, the rapids aren't too intense, but you're dealing with Mother Nature so show her some respect! Anyway, enough mom lecture. Go. Have a good time. I'll be back next year!!! read more

Review of a one-day kayaking trip (At $45 there is not better deal anywhere else) 4th of July Weekend provided 104 degree weather, so the river is a nice treat. You have 3 different options of style of inflatable boats....go for the 2 person kayak. It gives you more control over your movements and your arse will thank you for not getting banged up by the rocks. The groups that opted for the 6 person boats were the people in the water most of the time while my boyfriend and I were able to manuever around them. Also, two options for paddles....single or double. Do yourself a favor and get the double The polar ice caps must have melted because our Level 3 rapids were ridonkulously huge. The rest of the way is not so bad if you don't mind random people squirting water at you to cool you off. To prevent trash, I encouraged my bf to tape out water cooler shut and I recommend you do so as well. I had a dry bag with me and used a caribeener to clip it on the boat. As I looked at everyone else, I wondered why they didn't do the same. All of their backpacks were drenched. This experience is very well organized and because the staff was so genuine, it restored my fault in humanity. The level 3 rapid is what you want to prepare for. My bf and I were smashed up against a rock and naturaly the best option is to just let the river take you. Meaning float and keep your feet up. The rapids were so strong and fast and I was slipping trying to mentally prepare myself to jump in but worried that I would smash my head on a rock. Throughout the level 3- staff are dispersed to help women who get thrown off. Just as one of the staff members was trying to relieve us I managed to: slam my back against a rock, lose my shoes, swallow river water and nearly drown. Thanks to the staff I was able to regain composure. My poor bf also fell and actually hit his head while trying to save our water cooler and paddles....bless his soul. The trip itself is wonderful because it's a type of challenge that draws you closer to your partner. You learn alot about their character and integrity. My bf didn't let me down and we tackled whatever came our way. I was effin happy- My $10 lunch had a pefect chicken breast cooked on a cast iron griddle, potatoe salad, cold watermelon, garlic bread. Whenever someone else is cooking and I have the opportunity to just show up and eat....I'll do it. Post trip you have the opportunity to view snapshots of the excursion and purchase them online....such a great idea. I plan on buying it even though my eyes are bulging with terror. Again the water must have been strangely intense for that one day but I wish they had helmets. read more

We waited 45 minutes for the orientation to begin. Got tired of waiting. We didn't expect to be rafting with hundreds of other boats, many of which contained drunks. Beer cans were floating in the river. Saturday, the river was so packed that the ride was like a bumper car ride. Boats were smashing into us and piling up on rocks and each other. We spent most of the time getting unstuck on rocks and spinning around, going backwards over the rapids. In the first mile of the trip, I was knocked out of the boat and swept down the rapids for about a quarter mile. It was like going down a long, steep waterslide made of sharp boulders. I smashed my elbows, knees and butt, even though I tried to do what they told me: float on my back with my feet pointing forward. On the way down the rapids, I got pulled under the waves a few times--long enough to lose my breath. I couldn't make it to shore because the water was too fast. It's the closest I've come to drowning. I finally came to a calm portion. By then, I was too battered and exhausted to swim to shore. Some drunk college kids in a raft extended their paddle to me and pulled me ashore, where I collapsed. I'll never go whitewater rafting again. I didn't want to continue on the trip, so my spouse went looking for help. She had fallen out of the raft too, and was almost crushed by a raft that would've moved on top of her while she was in our raft, but she jumped out in time. She found a kind man who went to tell the raft company that we needed to be picked up, and the company came pretty quickly, which was great. They felt bad about our experience, but said it's the nature of the sport. I agree. On our way back in his truck, we had to pick up two more rafters who quit after a similar experience. I'm in better shape than the average person--I lift weights and swim three times a week--but that didn't help. the water was too strong. I'm surprised more people don't die on this trip. It's easy to knock your head and drown, bisect yourself on razor-sharp rocks, or at least cut and bruise yourself severely. And there's no cell-phone service in the canyon, so it's hard to get help. The closest pay phone was 5 miles from where we landed. If you go, expect a lot of drunk, rowdy rafters. Bring a helmet and wear a full-body airbag. Bring a waterproof satellite phone to call for help. You must wear shoes with laces, or the river will suck your footwear off. Bring a bucket to bail out your boat; ours filled with water. Bring a watertight container for your food. read more

Took my fiance here for his river rafting trip and we both had a great time. All the pros: the staff are the best, they offer lunch for $10pp- get it! You get to seat in a nice area with music playing in the background, saves you from packing things and bringing them on board with you as you raft. I noticed that unlike the other company, Cache Canyon offer the double paddle which works great than the single ones. They offer peanuts and drinks after your rafting before being shuttle back to your car. The best part is $45 on a sunday, cant beat that! However, if you do want more challenge than what they offer (class 3) - then you will have to spend almost double and go to the American River. I didnt really see any downside to the place, matter of fact we're thinking of going back before they close for the summer. read more

This is a first-rate weekend on the river. I spent many years as a customer of Whitewater Adventures and there was no comparison between the two experiences other than being in the same rafts on the same river. John and Julie are fantastic hosts who go out of their way to make you feel well cared for and absolutely part of the family. It's a very relaxed vibe with no early morning wake ups, and being able to camp right next to your vehicle is a huge bonus. The food was excellent, the accommodations very comfortable, and being able to purchase simple things like ice the whole weekend makes for a super easy experience. Sunday winds down in the best possible way with loads of time to get your camp broken down and gear packed. I really can't say enough good things about their operation and highly recommend anyone choose to let them cater your river adventure. read more

This is a true FAMILY BUSINESS. Julie and John and their family make you feel like friends not customers! As you can see from the other complimentary reviews, they will go above and beyond to make you comfortable, resolve any issues and cater to special requests. They are much more relaxed about their campground, allowing a free stay on Friday night for the 2 day boat trip guests, offering tent pitching services complete with air mattresses, and supplying vegetarian meal options for their non-meat eating customers. The rafting trip down the river is a blast with enough white-water sections to make one feel like Captain Kirk trying to navigate out of another intergalactic mess. This company offers an additional mile of river beyond the other rafting company. Once back at camp, there is great mountain trail hiking or running with spectacular views of the valley, and at night a slide show with pictures of YOU chuting down the biggest rapid on the trip, followed by music and karaoke. Or, nearby is a small town with a comfortable restaurant/bar, Guinda Commons, and a little further down the road is the enormous Cache Creek Casino. Enjoy! read more

Just got back from the first day on the river for the 2015 season. I've been coming to Cache Creek for some 20 years, and Julie and John run a great operation with Cache Canyon. Love the new changes like the bagged lunches -- very convenient! Running the river is a blast and they are a great outfit to go with. read more

I've been four times with this company, and let me say they are the friendliest people, super easy-going, super organized. They really make you feel welcome, and you can rest easy knowing they've got their act together. Plus, they have a great spread! Excellent steaks on Saturday night, and an awesome barbecue for lunch every day! Besides the amazing people, what an awesome river, too! Not too scary or dangerous, just enough to get your heart pumping! Highly recommended all around! read more

I highly recommend Cache Canyon River Trips for your next outdoor adventure! I just went on my 8th rafting trip with these guys and they are the BEST!!! The owners are so accommodating and the staff is super friendly. The food is good and they even offer vegetarian meals if you give them advance notice. We always arrive on Friday (love that camping is free on Friday night), so that we can enjoy the whole weekend up there. We bring all our own camping supplies, but they even offer a service where the staff will set-up your tent complete with turf out front and a couple of chairs. We bring our own food up for Friday night dinner and have a great time relaxing with friends before the rafting adventure the next day. The river was so much fun again. For the first time ever, my hubby and I fell out on Mother. I think I was a little cocky posing for my photo and I bounced right out (and hubby followed). No big deal though . . . we just kept our feet up as instructed before we started rafting and rode the rapids down. Plus the staff jumped in to assist . . . they really are awesome!!! After dinner on Saturday night there was a slideshow of the photos from the day's adventure (always a highlight) and then dancing. Sunday morning we packed up our gear before we hit the river. We stopped for lunch (yummy chicken lunch on Sunday) and then headed down to the final take-out to finish off the weekend. When you go on this trip (which you should DEFINITELY do), don't forget to bring your WATER GUNS on the river!!! Thanks, John & Julie, for another fabulous Cache Canyon River Trips weekend!!! read more

A lot of fun. We go rafting every year and have gone with this company 6 times in the last 8 years. This year they changed the set up (for the better). Now you'll park your car at the end of the river and get shuttled to the starting point. Much better then waiting and riding the bus wet from the river! I like how they have drinks and snacks waiting for you when you're done. (I remember the days when it used to be beer. Now it's lemonade.) We have never purchased their BBQ lunch because we usually have pretty amazing picnics on our own. We bring our food and drinks and eat at their pull out site where there are picnic tables, toilets, water, and music. Bring a dry bag for your food. Everything gets wet! You might want to bring a water gun so you are not defenseless on the river when other boaters are splashing at you. I would definitely go again. Every once in a while we like to change it up and do a different river, but this one is our favorite. The water level varies so that changes it up a bit and keeps it from getting boring. We like to go in August when the weather is hot and the water feels refreshing. We went one year mid May...brrrr! Only August from now on for us. We haven't done the 2-day trip with this company. Maybe next year. If you haven't gone river rafting before you should try it. And this is a good place to start. read more

Julie, John and their staff were fabulous! This was my third time with this outfit and they treat you like family! We are going to miss them! John did an excellent job on my steak! Thanks John for taking the time to cook me a rare one! Best of luck to you all! read more

I've rafted many different rivers around the U.S. and this was by far the best trip I've ever been on. A large part of the reason is the people who run the business. They make it more like a family outing than anyone else. The rafting trip could be either, relatively, lazy and relaxing or more vigorous if you wanted to make it faster. Definitely something for everyone, except of course people looking for more danger than a class 2 to 3. Personally, with the family atmosphere the difficulty of the trip was perfect. There were many places where you could just float have a beer and enjoy the scenery and also places where you had to pay more attention. For my wife and I the rapids that are class 3 are all the excitement we needed. There is also a really nice simple lunch and the dinner was extravagant with steak and all the trimmings. I definitely recommend making this a two day trip if not for anything else but the nightly entertainment. The night we stayed there was Karioki and it was a mix of singing talent and hilarious entertainment. I very much recommend Cache Canyon River Trips. read more

Cache Canyon River Rafting was a blast! I have went 4 times and each time we have had a great time. John & Julie have taken over the business, and in my opinion, definately better! The two day trip is the one to sign up for. They feed you a lot and the food is great, you would think with all that exercise you would lose weight. They cater to you and the staff is wonderful. The water is not too cold, the rapids are fun. Nothing too scarey so if your a beginner, this is a good trip. Wear LOTS of sunscreen, like SPF 1000000!! You meet wonderful people and if you go once, you always want go back.. The new rafts are great (you don't have to stop and empty your boat) Two thumbs up!! read more

Man I had so much fun you couldnt ask for a better weekend use sunblock or u will fry

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! First note - the review below is WAY (louise) over the top. I JUST went for my bachelorette party - this means there were 15 girls (most first timers), and none of us had a problem with the water. Yes, you may fall out, yes you may knock your leg on a rock, but really - I have brought 12 year olds on this?????? Just keep your feet up, and you will be fine. It is a blast. Back to the review: I have been rafting here for about 3 years now. We typically try and visit twice a year, and this year I even held my bachelorette party there. I cannot safe enough about this wonderful experience. First of all, John and Julie (the owners) are absolutely amazing. They make you feel as if you were right at home. They are the nicest people , and go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant trip. Their food is amazing! I was extremely surprised and impressed the first time we ate there, not to mention it has been great every time (and I am a food snob). Aside from John/Julie and their awesome staff, the experience is unforgettable. You get great food, great people, they will even set up your tents for a small fee, and all of this for such a great price. Bring lots of water, sunscreen, bug spray, water guns...and you are set! This is why we go every year, our group doubles almost everytime.....each person I bring is hooked! Don't miss out! read more
