It is our 2nd time to do rafting with H20 and as usual they are top notch! Great communication with Fianna with our last minute add up persons.Best pricing with nice lunch included, and Highly experts guides that kept us safe. We were 6 combined boats on that day and none of us fell off the water on the class IV rapids. Amazing! Shout out to Connor for keeping us safe and entertained and for having that sweet snack bar to share for us.. So thoughtful! Will definitely come back again for the North Fork course and recommend to family and friends to go with H20 as they are the Best!
Girls trip made AWESOME because we hands down had the best guide, Devin!!!! He made all of us comfortable through teaching, guiding, and giving us the opportunity to do all the things we could from bull ride to surfing the raft! We all come from different comfort levels and we universally LOVED our day on the water!
This is a great stretch of the American River. Our guide, Pierce, was very knowledgeable and experienced. The rest of the staff was helpful as well. We were provided comfortable safety gear. We got to get off the raft a few time to swim or rock jump. Really fun and worth every penny. They provided lunch and juice but not water. There is a small secured sack inside the raft to place a water bottle and sunscreen. There is no need for anything else. I would recommend wearing shoes with some tread as you’ll do a small climb around a waterfall.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re glad you enjoyed the American River, had a great experience with Pierce, and found our staff and gear helpful and comfortable. The swimming and rock jumping are definitely some of the best parts of the trip! We also appreciate the helpful notes for future guests about bringing a water bottle, sunscreen, and shoes with good tread. We’re glad you felt the trip was worth every penny and would recommend us. We hope to see you back on the river again!
This experience absolutely blew my friends’ and my expectations out of the water (literally 😂). Our guide, Corey, was incredible! He kept us laughing the entire trip while making us feel safe through every rapid. The whole crew was knowledgeable, energetic, and made the adventure unforgettable. Every penny was worth it, and we’re already talking about when we can come back. I’ll definitely be recommending this to everyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!
H20 Adventures is the best!!! This was our second time going with them and our family group loved it! Easy pickup and drop-off. Full-day trip came with lunch and snacks. Our guide Devin was the BEST!

This trip exceded our expectations by leaps and bounds. From the friendly and patient staff who took great care with our reservation , to our beautiful and comfortable stay to the most amazing guide Devin. Devin made our experience superb. We felt safe with him and together we also took care of other board. He was informative; careful, fun, and always was looking for ways for us to have the best time out on the water, with safety as our priority. I appreciate how much care he took of us not just our safety but also our overall expirence by finding fun spots for us, to educating us of the wildlife , to helping us improve judgement free, and celebrating together as one team. 5 stars to Devin and to our overall experience.

This is our second (or maybe third?) trip with this company, this time on the Middle Fork of the American River. As usual, great communication, good gear, fun guides and of course great river course. This time we also camped at their site, which was a good way to get extra sleep. A special shut-out to Fiona for her patience with all of our calls and adjustments, Frankie for expert driving and our guide Jacob for fishing us out from the water so many times.
Thank you for your continued support and for joining us again on the Middle Fork! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed another great trip and that everything from communication and gear to the river experience met your expectations once again. It’s also great to hear you enjoyed camping at our site and got some extra rest. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Frankie for his expert driving, and Jacob for his skilled guiding and quick recoveries on the river. We truly appreciate your loyalty and look forward to seeing you again for your next adventure!
