The staff was friendly, organized, and gave clear instructions, which made everything stress-free. The float down the American River was the perfect mix of relaxing and fun--great views, good vibes, and perfect for a group hang. Definitely one of the best ways to enjoy a sunny day in Sacramento. I'll for sure be back!

Our tour took about 3ish hours and we conveniently ended up back at the campsite by 1:30pm where we had lunch! Lunch included a cheeseburger with vegetable toppings, chips, and rice krispy treats. Our guide was Lucas, who we found out was a white water rafting champion in Brazil! The Chili Bar included Class 2 and Class 3 rapids. The water was ice cold but was refreshing on a hot day! Lucas made our trip very fun and adventurous but still made us feel safe. Life vests and helmets were included for safety. Photos were available for purchase as well. Would recommend to bring cash for tip and parking ($5 each car so carpool if you can). I'd highly recommend Action Whitewater Adventures for anyone looking for fun and adventure!

I'm so glad I found H20 Adventures! We had so much fun on the half day South Fork lower gorge run…read more This is rated class 2/3 and perfect for the beginner like myself. I was really nervous at first and honestly wanted lazy river rafting with zero rapids, but after the experience with H20, I'm excited to plan another trip with them. The scenery was amazing, the late March weather was warm and as expected freezing water. We were provided with helmets, wetsuits, and splash jackets, this kept us warm and comfortable. You should bring water bottles and sunblock on the raft. Your other belongings are safely locked up prior to launch. You can also bring waterproof cameras or phones, be sure they are securely strapped to you (like chest or wrist strap, or helmet mount) they do have a professional cameraman kayaker Kevin taking amazing shots along the way so don't worry about not bringing your own camera. Nico, our tour guide was skilled, knowledgeable, and entertaining, and incredibly nice. We also had the opportunity to interact with the other tour guides Kyla and Martina who led the other two rafts on our 3 craft convoy down the river. If you are looking for something to do with your family this summer, I highly recommend H20. Get your reservations asap.

My friends and I had an excellent time with AWE for a full-day South Fork beginner trip. I booked…read morethrough the phone which was super easy. Prices are comparable to other companies in the area. I was informed that I could add people to the trip up until the day of the trip, unfortunately that is not the case and they actually set up the rafts the day before, so any changes should be made at least a day before. Email confirmation was helpful but I wish it also included info on what's allowed/recommended to bring into the raft itself (wasn't super easy to find on the website). In addition to their recommended list, I would recommend bringing a small bottle of hand sanitizer because there is no handwashing area during lunchtime and no utensils because lunch is a tortilla wrap style meal. Waiver can be filled out the day of the trip. Life jacket and helmet is mandatory (brownie points for AWE washing helmets between uses). Use the restroom beforehand - at the halfway mark/lunchtime there is only 1-2 pit toilets available and likely a line for it. Overall I had a great time in the river and our guide Michael was fantastic.

This was our third time rafting. We've used other companies in the past; first time with River Rat;…read morewhich turned out to be a great decision. We had a group of 24 and used 3 rafts that were spacious enough to accommodate everyone, extra belongings and coolers. The staff were friendly and the price was reasonable. Key takeaways - *These guys have a farther drop zone than their competitors which means longer rafting time. *Unlike their competition, you DON'T have to CARRY YOUR RAFT HALF A MILE TO THE WATER. *Your raft is loaded onto your car by River Rat. *You drive your raft down to the River on a seemingly private road (wasn't an issue at all for us). *Bring $6.00 cash for each vehicle using parking as no cards are accepted at River parking pay booth which is usually manned by someone. *Shuttle time back is approximately 20 minutes give or take. *Shuttle fee is $8.00 per person. Overall, had a great time and am going to continue using them as we've used the others and River Rat proved to be the easiest for us as we work hard and want to relax on the River; not work hard @ hiking to the River carrying a raft

We've rafted twice more with All-Outdoors since my last review - Goodwin Canyon in October 2022,…read moreand then Middle Fork American River again this past month (both 1-day trips). The last time we rafted Middle Fork American was on a cold, gloomy, drizzling day in October 2019 - so we had to give it another go in warmer weather. This time around was just as memorable. Two of us in the boat ended up falling out in the water at Tunnel Chute, which happened so fast that I barely knew what had happened - thankfully, there was a nice calmer stretch of water right after through the river tunnel, so we were easily able to get back into the raft. (Thank you to our guide, Troy, for hauling me back in, and for being an awesome guide in general!) Plus this was one of the photographer spots, so the action was all captured for us to laugh about later. Later, after our tasty sandwich picnic lunch, we had a few unexpected events happen, starting from the portage down Ruck-a-Chucky Falls. Shout-out to all three guides in our group - Troy, Shea, and AJ - for handling things so calmly and getting us all back where we were supposed to be! We had plenty of calm stretches floating down the river as well. The canyon is beautiful and quite peaceful. We saw a ton of dragonflies flying above our heads, masked ducks chilling on rocks and diving underwater, and wild grapes and blackberries growing alongside the river. We'll be back again for another trip with All-Outdoors! Maybe we'll try a 2-day or 3-day trip next time.

Audrey (the…read moreguide who's raft I stayed on), Dustin (the Team Leader), Mcclure, and Roman will forever get my praise for how they exceeded my expectations. This was my first time going both whitewater rafting and camping, and the entire time I felt taken care of, safe, and catered to in ways I hadn't even expected. I don't know how many times I shouted "Team Audrey!" as she expertly navigated difficult rapids. Roman was the guide responsible for riding ahead of us with all our cargo and setting up camp, and every time I was more and more impressed with the breathtaking set up he did with all of our tents, eating areas, and shaded spots. Dustin was a worthy team leader who made sure our trip went smoothly and on time, and was awesome to talk to and joke around with. And McClure was a thorough teacher and guide who is clearly passionate about what he does! I've noticed some reviews of people complaining about things out of Tributary's control like the bathroom quality or the heat or the other parties that would camp nearby. And even though that is technically not Tributary's juriscdiction, I still felt as if the four guides with us did everything they could to anticipate these problems and lessen their impact on our trip. Like they had a handwashing station for us, and had plenty of shaded areas for us to rest in. Not to mention they really took care of the quality of food we ate, giving gluten free and healthy options as well as snacks and drinks for us. Audrey, Dustin, Roman, and Mcclure. You four have a forever client in me. It is because of you guys I have such memorable stories that I will be telling until I am old. I can not thank you guys enough.
