My husband and I did this together with my 13 year old daughter. Deven explained very well before we went out to the water what we had to do. My daughter and I were a bit nervous, but he always explained with great detail and encouraged us. Our group consisted of some older ladies and he also made them feel confident and we did very well. None of us fell out. Ha ha! Only thing I would add, would be some nice hot black coffee during lunch!! Lunch was delicious, we built our own wraps. It wasn’t to heavy. It was perfect to give us energy to finish off the day. Over all this was such a great experience, my daughter still talks about it. And loves to encourage others to try it. She says deven brought out the adventurous side of her. And she would gladly do it again. But as long as we have the same guide. He made us feel safe, and confident. Thank you

So fun, the best river rafting experience! A must do. H2O Adventures were the best company. Loved it. Tyler and Marina the guide were the best ever!!

We had such a fantastic day rafting with Raft H2O on the Middle Fork American River. Our guide, Connor, was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe the entire trip. He clearly knows the river well and gave us great tips to make the ride fun and exciting, while always keeping safety first. A special shoutout to Blake, whose jokes and commentary made the drive to and from the river just as enjoyable as the rafting itself — we were laughing the whole way! The scenery was stunning, the rapids were thrilling, and the entire experience felt seamless and well organized. Highly recommend Raft H2O and their awesome team We’ll definitely be coming back!

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!

Always, always and in always the best rafting exp. and rafting company; bar none. I have rafted with them now for several years and the guides are excellent the lunch is excellent and the on River experience is excellent. I can't say anymore but, go do it! And do it with H2O adventures. And no this is not a paid testimonial.
