The shop'soverall customer service is pretty good. The majority of the staff are awesome. A few weeks ago, I dropped in to check out the swim gear. But took a detour looking at the shoes. The associate (with reddish hair and eyeglasses) working that department helped me look for a couple of running shoes from the backroom inventory. No luck, none my size. Then as I was walking away, he took it upon himself to peruse the clearance rack, for my size and shoe type. At this time I only ventured a few aisles away, he found me to show me a pair he found on clearance. Visually, they were in great condition. A brand and style, and color palette I was looking for. It was the right size. I tried them on, they fit perfectly. Comfy. Better yet it was an additional 20% off. So all together the price was 47% off from the original retail price. Score. But gotta say, sure would appreciate a public restroom. Especially considering this Big 5 is in a stand alone building not close to any other retail businesses or within a shopping plaza.

She guided the boat amazing and handled all the sibling banter with one command to row lol. He knowledgeable of the river and all the trees and wildlife was pretty awesome too, we definitely felt safe but she allowed us to be fun-scared too. A huge thing I am thankful for is River also requested that we leave the phones behind and I am so grateful for that! I know some of the other guides allowed it but getting away from their phones and just enjoying the outside was exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you River and all the guides. We will be back!

I decided I wanted to take the kids I nanny (11 & 13) to do something fun and unique and thought…read morewhy not finally cross off whitewater rafting from my bucket list?! We were gifted a beautiful day on the river with multiple sightings of wildlife including fish jumping, ducklings, geese, and even a bald eagle! The best part was getting to see the kids do something, get scared, have a blast doing it, and then ask to come back for more intensity next time. I really appreciated the guides for their hospitality, humor, and kindness. However my main piece of feedback would be a friendly reminder that nature and outdoor recreational activities are a form of escape and respite from our every day life, so being more mindful of the topics of conversation brought up during the ride is very important to the atmosphere.

This review is long overdue, but it was my brother and I second time going with this company and…read morethe first time was amazing we went on the South Fork River for our first time white water rafting and it was great first time Carly our guide was amazing. The South Fork River was the perfect start to rafting especially if you haven't been. It's class 3 rapids. We went on a Friday we did a full day and lunch is provided. You meet at the location and at the end they do take you back. For our second time we wanted some more rapids, steep drops etc we enjoy rafting and being outdoors. The person I spoke to on the phone mentioned the Middle Fork River and I was like perfect. This route was awesome it definitely had the drops the currents and everything else in between. I recommend it. Our guide Myra was amazing I will definitely go with her again. The other guides who were there as well were awesome too. The meet up spot is in Forrest Hill it is a full day bring plenty of water and sunscreen make sure to eat something before you go rafting. They also have water on the boat and lunch is provided. I personally like going on a weekday prices are cheaper than a weekend and the river isn't crowded and we went on Wednesday. It's worth the price. I have talked to a few people on the phone and they have all been amazing answering all my questions etc. I will be going with this company for as long as they stay open. I'm ready for the next trip!

We had a knowledgeable, personable and very competent guide - Devin - who made the day excellent for us. Only upside needed is the lunch stop - would be nice to have some paper plates and places to sit to eat lunch - but it was enough food of make your own sandwiches/wraps chips and fruit for all. No pics as it was a totally electronic free day. Family time 100%. Looking at doing another multiple day trip next time.

The first two hours were kind of boring, we were just floating around the river, the last 45 minutes were really fun with lot of adrenaline. Our captain Luke from South Africa was fun and he even brought his speaker to entertain us with songs. The pictures taken by the prof were amazing, we're having fun.

Great time! Nice facilities friendly staff and will do it again…read more Bathroom and showers were clean and maintained well. You have to plan right and avoid waiting in line to shower.

My sister, nephew and I wanted to do Middle Fork this year and I remember it being an adrenaline rush and challenging but so fun- We picked a Tuesday so it was not crowded, but when it ended up being just the three of us in the raft with Juli, I was a little nervous, remembering how intimidating tunnel chute was- and I didn't have the security of a full raft of people to weigh down the raft and help paddle to build up speed. This just goes to show you how important a seasoned veteran rafting guide is Juli was amazing. He gave clear instructions, he was very calm, and he managed the raft like a pro. No no flipping over and no one fell out. So exciting! Now I want to go to Costa Rica and look up Whitewater excitement there and request Juli. Hope to do this at least one more time this year. If I lived closer, I would go more often. Ps- I read some people complaining that you have to pitch in to carry the raft from the water up to the trucks and from the trucks down to the water, I've only been with one company that did not ask you to do that. All the rest have always had the rafters help out in pitch-in.

Absolutely.... Don't hesitate to go with H2O adventures. They are professional, knowledgeable, and…read moremake you feel super comfortable with some humor sprinkled in between! Even the stop for lunch was incredibly delicious and refreshing ! Devin our guide was awesome, he makes you feel at ease because of his knowledge, attention to detail and his humor! Extras: we surfed some waves, jumped off rocks, rode the bull (sat solo on the bow of the boat and held on for dear life!), floated outside the boat, all on the MiddleFork. It was very exhilarating. You get enough class 3 & 4 rapids and time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. (I'm sore in some places and it's the day after, and I'm a fitness instructor). Best stop before heading to Lake Tahoe! If you stay overnight, the little town of Auburn has some great history. Fun to walk the town.

Plus we were lucky enough to have Shelby as our guide which we were all so thankful for because she's simply the best!

We didn't tip once and no one fell out because Shelby is freaking AMAZING and a ROCK STAR GUIDE!! It was our first time white water rafting and she made us feel so comfortable and confident in our abilities! Whether it's your first or 100th time rafting, you won't be dissatisfied with H2O!

Contact the company and find out it hasn't even shipped yet. They say "we have a 3-4 day period before we even ship". Then why do you insinuate, and you do, when you order you can pay extra to get it FedEx in 3 days. Not good business. If my products is not here by Monday I will be canceling with a full refund. I would not recommend.
