Got a 12-person raft for 8 of us or something like that. My friend was the main coordinator so I didn't deal too much with the booking side, but it seemed smooth. Parking here is kind of a nightmare (though they have a pricey shuttle) but the key is to arrive early, especially because it gets super hot in the middle of the day. The whole journey takes a few hours, as fast or slow as you want to go. Love that the American River is pretty chill. A little too much sun exposure for me but super fun!

I'll for sure be back!

I think regardless where you go renting a jet-ski will always be pricy just because of all the rules on the water itself. For an hour with the lowest insurance and gas we spent $170. But like I mentioned we had a blast. It was fun cruising on the delta. This is definitely a hidden gem in Stockton. They also have boat rentals and a boat with a captain for large parties which seemed very affordable for large parties. I can't wait to go back.

This is run by a lovely, local couple who almost felt like family in the short time we were there.

Just wanted to say they are really good people. They also gave us great guidance to navigate the river with quality equipment!

While we have used different outfits lately - we had a great experience with Russian River Adventures a few years back, so we came in excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing, mainly due to poor planning by the staff. We booked for four people on a Thursday - my wife, myself, and our two teens (14 and 16)--with the expectation that we'd have two boats, which is standard for this group size. However, the team miscounted the boats that morning. When we pointed this out, instead of fixing the mistake, they pulled us aside and crammed all four of us into a boat intended for three, squeezing in an extra seat to make it "fit." Visibly frustrated, the team promised to speak with the owner and make it right (it was two high schoolers running it that day). I didn't argue and wanted to at least try to have a good time and not be that Dad. The result on the boat? A very cramped and uncomfortable setup that made the inflatable much harder to steer and navigate--especially on a 9-mile river trip. This wasn't the experience we paid for or expected based on our prior trips. The staff seemed more focused on moving us along rather than making it right. Still haven't heard from the owner. We'll likely explore other options next time around. Disappointed to see the service slip like this.

There's a beautiful hike nearby, and our teepee was just a short walk from the river, which made the experience even more special. The lounge area was a fun bonus, filled with games and a ping-pong table--we had a great time playing table tennis together. Overall, it was a peaceful and relaxing stay. The staff were kind, caring, and polite. I absolutely recommend this place.

Great for Families & Touristy Fun -- Just Come Early! We…read morevisited Tahoe Snowmobiles in South Lake Tahoe for snow tubing, and had a really fun time! While the business name suggests it's just for snowmobiles, they also offer snow tubing, which is what we came for -- but it wasn't immediately clear online or on signage. It took a bit of guessing to realize we were at the right place since the signage could definitely be improved. That said, once we figured it out, everything was smooth! Good to Know Before You Go: Tubing is $50 per person per hour, and every person on the property (even if not tubing) must purchase a $10 spectator pass for liability reasons. We arrived around 10:30 AM on a Sunday, and the lines were okay -- but by noon, it got VERY busy. We were so glad we came early. Slopes are perfect for kids -- not too steep, with just the right amount of thrill. Kids aged 3-5 must ride with an adult. There are two entry lines (walk-in & reservations). Booking online ahead might help to save some time. What We Loved: The tubing lanes were well-groomed and smooth. There were staff members at the top helping launch you down gently (or with a wild spin, if you're up for it!) and safety staff at the bottom ensuring smooth exits. Kids loved it, and it felt safe and well-managed overall. Staff were young but hard-working and cheerful. There's a QR code at the entrance to fill out the required waiver -- best to start that while you wait in line. Parking Tip: Nearby parking is $20 per hour, but the first hour is free -- perfect if you plan your visit efficiently. Final Thoughts: Yes, it's a bit touristy and a little pricey -- but it's also a blast and creates great memories and photos for families. If you arrive before 10 AM or later around 3 PM, you'll avoid the biggest crowds and have a much smoother experience. We'd definitely recommend it for families looking for classic snow fun in South Lake Tahoe!

What was once a worthwhile club appears to be in clear decline. From my direct experience, the…read morewarning signs are hard to ignore: management turnover, frustrated employees, and ownership that no longer seems willing to invest in the club's future. Prospective buyers should look closely before committing. The fleet is now made up of aging boats, roughly 4-6 years old, and the wear is evident. Inventory has reportedly been reduced from 9 boats to 5, including only 2 surf boats, while pricing remains unchanged. At the same time, members are being asked to move to an "unlimited bookings" model that still limits usage to no more than 3 bookings per month!!! Last season alone, boats experienced issues ranging from failed ballast pumps and broken amps to damaged railings and inconsistent availability. Yet despite reduced inventory, aging equipment, and declining service levels, ownership appears intent on maintaining the same pricing without meaningful reinvestment. Anyone considering joining should do their homework, verify the facts independently, and speak with former members. Membership has reportedly fallen from 42 to 17 and continues to trend downward. That kind of decline does not happen without reason.
