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!

Great guides, great food, awesome river. Be careful with a GoPro or anything else you might cary - the current will take it if not securely fastened.

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re thrilled you had a great time—from the guides and food to the river itself. It sounds like you made the most of your adventure! And great advice about securing gear—whitewater definitely doesn’t mess around when it comes to loose items. Hopefully nothing valuable was lost, and we appreciate you sharing that tip for future guests. We’d love to have you back for another run soon! H2O Adventures

Found a great deal on Groupon, which lead me to H2O. I’ve been on the river with a different outfit, but H2O had great hospitality, lunch was delicious. JOE, she was great guide on the river. We did the full day (21 miles).. looking forward to going back for midfork with H2O

It’s awesome that you’ve rafted before and still found our hospitality and lunch to stand out. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Joe—she'll be happy to know she made your day on the river a great one. We can’t wait to have you back for the Middle Fork adventure. Get ready for another unforgettable day on the water with us! H2O Adventures
