    This was the most amazing cruise. We are new to the area and my husband wanted to do something special for our 51st anniversary. THIS WAS SPECIAL.Our oarsman, Dave, was wonderful. It was quite apparent he loves this job of cruising down the river. He shared some interesting things with us, but also gave us our privacy. We had an amazing dinner ...prepared right there on the boat. The sunset was beautiful, the river is beautiful and the entire evening is etched in my memory! If there were 10 Stars ...that's what I would give for this cruise!

    Impressed overall The good Booked this cruise for our anniversary and it ended up being really fun. It's tough to find new things to do in Redding, it's a small town. We booked and then ended up needing to move our reservation because of the recent heat wave. Todd was very accommodating and changed our date with no problems. Also, my wife is gluten free and they handled that REALLY well and with a great attitude about it. They provided GF salad dressing, garlic bread and croutons on top of delicious salmon that my wife loved. Well done. The scenery was great and it was SO nice to sit back and enjoy the ride with my wife, not having to worry about a boat or food. Our oarsman John was nice. Polite, knowledgeable about the river and lots of animals on the river. The boat was great, comfortable and more private with the sun shade. They had some music provided, selections picked John. The not as good My steak was ok, but not overly amazing. Also, the only drinks available were bottled water. While they do allow you to BYOB or wine, it was something that I thought could have improved. John was really chatty, especially during dinner when he stood right beside us as we ate... Also, it would have been nice to have used our selection of music and maybe I should have asked for that. As I said, overall, really fun. $240 plus tip for steak and salmon, 3 hrs of beautiful scenery and a novel evening in Redding

    My husband took me on this River Romance Cruise for our anniversary, we had the most amazing time, food, music, scenery. The whole thing was 10 stars. We saw bald eagles, a beaver, and all kinds of amazing wild life. To top it off our guide was amazing too, we enjoyed his conversation and info he had on the wildlife out on the river! All I can say now is I can't wait to do this again!

    See Redding from a totally different perspective! River Romance Tours offers guided drift boat cruises down the Sacramento River. I recently took my wife on a cruise for her birthday and it was amazing! The trip started at the convention center and went all the way down to the bonnyview launch ramp...about 3 hours or so total. We went under the Sundial Bridge which was just incredible. I have lived here for a long time and I had no idea the river had such amazing scenery. Along the way, the gentleman rowing the boat stops on the river and grills up a phenomenal dinner that you eat in the boat! The person rowing the boat stays behind a canopy that keeps you out of the sun. Our guide was obviously very skilled and was careful not to invade our privacy, but he was so wonderful we ended up chatting with him most of the way. This was really an experience and my wife and I were absolutely thrilled!

    My husband and i Feel in love on this boat. We took our Cruise about two years ago. Our boat ride started off of Bonnie view boat ramp and ended in Anderson park. It took about 3 hours total. It was just Amazing. The Guide was friendly but yet stayed out of our zone. The food was better then most of the restaurants in town.. This was something i told my (then boyfriend) i wanted to do.. And he took me on this boat for our first real date. A few weeks later we ran off to Reno and got married! This is a must for you love birds... its worth every penny....

    We were up in Redding visiting friends and they wanted to take us out to dinner, so with outdoor dining only, I couldn't think of a better way!! The 4 of us fit on the boat comfortably. The food was amazing! And Todd answered all our questions on bridges, homes, birds, etc. Had a blast! And will definitely recommend to friends when they're visiting the Redding area.

    Five stars for a fabulous evening

    What a treat! This is a perfect way to spend a romantic evening in Redding. Drifting down the river, gorgeous weather and a tasty dinner. We would love to have the opportunity to do this again one day.

    This was our 4th river trip and it's always fun. Took our daughter and her husband on Tod's boat and had a fantastic meal and great time! Best romantic date for you guys to score some points with your girl!

    Amazing 3 hour dinner cruise!! The incredible dinner cooked while drifting down the river, music and views....A++++

    See all

She wasn't pushy at all and didn't upsell me anything - just gave me all the tips and info. We decided on a tandem snowmobile for an hour with a guide. We arrived 20 minutes late but she was so professional - she shortened and made the check in process so easy. There was a cabin with fire where you can change since Deer Mountain was quite cold and was snowing that day desolate the snow drought. She was mega attentive and taught us everything and told us exactly where we were going. She took couple of pictures for us and explained what we'll see had it not been so foggy. On the way back when we stopped at a viewpoint my boyfriend accidentally accelerated and we toppled right where the cliff started - Michele rushed over and helped us up and we genuinely concerned for our well being. We're so grateful she was our guide and can't recommend her enough. She's an amazing person with a beautiful smile and we definitely suggest everyone go snowmobile with her, especially first timers!

Michele is super fun and an overall great human. She's energetic and patient, and flexible with how you want to spend your time on the water. We went wakeboarding and enjoyed tubing! She even took us to see Mt. Shasta from the lake, which was beautiful. We'll definitely be back again!

What I believe is most important in a guide, over just catching fish, is Darrin is SAFE and responsible. I trust him to guide on trips across any body of water with the most valuable person in the world to me; my son. That cant be said for all guides. With all of that said...Darrin is suburb at fishing all types of fish species across all types of water. He is patient with new anglers as well as kids. Starting as a new fisherman myself Darrin taught me the skills of Fly Fishing that I have developed over the many years of fishing with him. On top of that Darrin taught my son when he began fly fishing at the age of 12. We have caught more Steelhead, native trout, strippers and bass than I can count. I would highly recommend Darrin for any California, Oregon, Idaho fishing trips. I would not hesitate to contact him for any other trips or states you plan to fish solo or with your family. Darrin I'm happy to be used as a reference for any of your clients. Feel free to have them call me direct.

    DON'T RENT A SKI BOAT FROM THIS PLACE…read more Had a great northern california trip with the exception of the substandard, subpar, partially operating boat and equipment they rented us. The boat couldn't even pull a skiier out of the water, our skiier got injured as a direct result of the "ski" boat (it's not a ski boat, it's a pleasure boat) and skis so old, out of date and damaged (rubber boots ripped) it ruined the day. They also charge more than Shasta. The trim tabs in the cockpit don't operate, you have to do it manually by pressing a button on the engine, and that's only to trim up, you can't trim down. This was an absolute joke, who is going to hang their head over the stern of a speeding boat, reach down near the prop and trim it while you're operating? Their legal exposure is pretty high from our experience. 300 hp Ski Nautique beautiful boat we rented in Shasta: 390 for the whole day. Comes with skis. This garbage place run by teenagers who don't know anything about boats, equipment, or even how to issue a refund to a credit card: we paid $500 for a half day (tax, gas, tube rental, ski rental) The only high point was Rich.. seems like a nice guy, but that hardly compensates for an injury and

The staff were unfriendly and unhelpful while we were there. When we went to dock they were very rushed and unhelpful with us unloading. My wife had to tell them to back off because they almost knocked my 3yr old daughter into the lake. I also witnessed the cashier intentionally hanging up on people calling the marina rather than answering the phone. Now I know what had happened to me weeks earlier when the phone would ring then hang up before it would go to voicemail. The one good thing was the boat we rented was new and clean.

We said, No thank you, we will just rent it. Took the stupid thing out for a total of 6 hours and the light started blinking, the next thing you know it's only running 5 miles per hour. We managed to ride it back to the rental company before they closed and swap it out! They had no problems swapping it out...obviously they knew it had issues! They told us...oh it might be the pump, I'll have my husband look at it, maybe you picked up rocks??? Or maybe NOT! This isn't our first time...we're out on the lake every Labor Day! A week and a half later my credit card it charged over $800 for the repair! I've got no description of work preformed or service done.
