H2O Adventures

We did a half day trip for a family reunion and had a BLAST! Our youngest was 5 and oldest 78 and we all enjoyed it so much. There was plenty of thrill for all of us, and not too much. We all loved the opportunity to paddle and participate. The guides were amazing (shout out to Marine Dog and James!) and we felt safe and entertained. The water was not as cold as expected and this was great because we were doused thoroughly and joyfully. Would definitely recommend this company and this trip.

This trip was amazing! I was impressed by the organization and efficiency of the operation. Not a second was wasted. The rafting was fantastic, with a great mix of leisure floating and nature viewing, and adrenaline pumping adventure! I never felt unsafe and really appreciated our guide passion, knowledge and guidance. I would 100% do this again. Highly recommend. (This is from a first timer who was slightly scared going into it.) Thanks H2O Adventures & Devin B!

My advice—if you’re wondering whether to go rafting with H2O, go ahead and book your tickets. As a wonderful local river company, they deliver big and know how to create a great experience. I went with our team of 90 for a company retreat, and they handled it all without breaking a sweat. Nothing felt rushed or chaotic — just a fun, well-organized day on the water. Everyone walked away smiling and a little sunburned, with stories to tell. Make sure you ask for Ann if you want a historic float — she’ll have a tale for every bend in the river. Our entire group felt taken care of from start to finish. One of the highlights was Blake—somehow guiding us through rapids while singing like he was born on the river. Somehow, they made it feel personal, even with such a big group. Easily one of the best group outings we’ve ever done — we’d do it again in a heartbeat.

We had an amazing time river rafting on the Middle Fork in California on September 6, 2025! Our guide, Pierce, was fantastic—he made sure everyone felt safe and confident the whole trip. Most of our group had little to no experience rafting, but thanks to his clear instructions and steady guidance, we handled the Class III and IV rapids without anyone getting tossed out of the boat. What made the trip even better was Pierce’s knowledge of the area. He pointed out local wildlife and plant species along the way, and honestly it felt like having a National Geographic expert on board. He really brought the river to life, sharing cool facts and making us appreciate the beauty of the canyon just as much as the thrill of the rapids. All of the other guides with H2O Adventures were also amazing. They worked together as a team to make sure no boat was ever left behind, which showed how much they care about safety and group experience. You can tell the company has a great system in place that makes everything run smoothly. Pierce is truly an expert at what he does, and the entire H2O Adventures crew made this rafting trip both exciting and unforgettable. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for the perfect mix of adventure, safety, and appreciation of nature!

We had an incredible time white water rafting with H2O Adventures! From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and full of fun. Massive thanks to Blake, Trip Leader Devin, and the wonderful Marina—they were such a fun crew to be around and it was awesome watching them lead and guide the teams on the river. Their energy was contagious, and you could tell they truly love what they do. Also big appreciation to our amazing drivers Tyler, Trevor, and Jody who kept everything on time and hassle-free. Our personal guide Corey was fantastic—professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable while keeping us safe the entire time. The lunch provided mid-trip was on point—fresh, tasty, and hit the spot perfectly. I highly recommend booking with H2O Adventures if you're in the area. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’d absolutely go again!

We had the best day rafting the Middle Fork of the American River with H2O Adventures! From start to finish, everything was dialed. Our guides, Heath and Matt, were total pros—funny, skilled, and incredibly knowledgeable. They kept us safe through some big rapids while also making the whole experience exciting and memorable. The scenery was gorgeous, the water was perfect, and the vibe was just right. Can’t recommend H2O Adventures (and Heath and Matt!) highly enough. We’ll definitely be back!

A day out rafting with H2O was a lot of fun surrounded by natural beauty. We rafted the South Fork of the American (Satan’s Cesspool). We felt completely safe and enjoyed ourselves very much. Our river guide, Keanu, was knowledgeable, had a pura vida way of being, and a great sense of adventure. His instruction and encouragement kept us from falling out of the raft and helped us feel like pros navigating the rapids (we are definitely not). The lead guide, Matt, is a good leader and very knowledgeable. He kept things moving throughout the day and was organized. I think Matt would be more personable, though, if he left on his sunglasses during his safety talk. Despite Matt being from Australia, you can mostly understand everything he says. Kayakers with cameras take photos throughout the day that you can purchase online. Do it! The photos are great. Last thing: just wear a swimsuit or swim clothes. You will be drenched by the end. Get out there! The water is the place to be.

My first white water rafting trip was on June 19, 2025 with H2O Adventures and I had a blast. The reservation process was smooth and when I had questions the staff was very helpful. The guides were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Big shout out to our boat's guide, Niko, who made the trip fun and safe. I highly recommend this company, I will definitely be taking a trip with this company again!
