We had an incredible experience with Whitewater Excitement! This was our first time white water rafting and we felt incredibly safe with their experienced guides (shoutout to Brice!). Our cabin tent was nice and reviews weren't kidding about the incredible food - we had fresh, delicious, wholesome meals during our two-day trip. This family-owned business was very accommodating - Phillip and Norm went out of their way to make sure their guests had a 5-star experience. We're already scheduling our next trip to visit in 2025!!

Just got back from an amazing day with WhiteWater Adventure, and I couldn't be happier! We opted for the one-day trip on The South Fork American river Gorge Run, and it was the perfect way to celebrate my early birthday and the end of summer. The weather was beautiful, and the river was just the right level for some exciting rapids.

Our guide was fantastic—super knowledgeable and made sure everyone felt comfortable in the raft. We were a bit nervous at first, but he put our mind at ease with his professionalism and expertise. We had a great mix of fun and adventure, with plenty of laughs along the way.

The lunch buffet was delicious, and it was a nice break before we hit the water again for more rafting. I loved that the trip wasn’t overcrowded, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the river without feeling rushed. If you're considering a rafting trip, definitely choose WhiteWater Excitement. It's an experience you won't forget!

Nate was our guide. He was awesome and seemed to be totally in control the entire trip. It was our first family rafting trip, so we have nothing to gauge it by, but I can not think of anything else that could have been done. The food was great and there was enough for everyone. The staff seemed to enjoy their time with us and did not seem as if they were at work. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and ready to assist. We will be back!

I have been rafting with this company for 11+ years. Their ownwrs, camp, guides and everything in-between always exceeds my expectations. The guides are always friendly and professional and the food is delicious. We have come with many other families over the years who are also always really impressed and come back year after year. 5 plus stars and 100% recommend!!

Our guide, Audrey, was wonderful. She was engaging, funny, and energetic throughout the whole trip.

There were plenty of opportunities to get out of the boat and float (to cool off) and she navigated the rapids with ease.

We did notice a few other companies stop to jump off the rocks or equipped their boats with water guns for the boats to play with one another. I Donny know if our group would have been into both but it would be nice to ask the group ahead of time to gauge what they are into.

Our experience with Whitewater Excitement was exceptional from beginning to end! Phillip made the booking process seamless, even accommodating a last-minute change without any hassle. Our group of ten had an unforgettable adventure thanks to our guides, Ricardo and Joseph. They were not only fun and knowledgeable but also prioritized safety and made us feel completely at ease. Plus, the delicious lunch they prepared was a great bonus! We tackled the Middle Fork of the American River, and it was an absolute blast. We can’t wait to come back next season!

Our family of 5 went on the middle fork 1 day trip with Autumn as our guide. The whole organization was top notch from beginning to end from safety, to fun, and an overall good time. Autumn was so much fun and I highly recommend her. There were several other guests on our trip that said they had her before which is a testimony to how amazing she is and the company that they were repeat customers! We watched other companies on the same path that rafts were flipping over and not doing so well. I found the trip to be 100% safe but realized it’s important to go with the right company and guide. Don’t hesitate to use this company and ask for Autumn!

Whitewater Excitement is the best river rafting experience. Will our tour guide was excellent. He took the time to make the experience superb. They take you through all the safety precautions. They made sure our vests and helmets were on correctly. They made sure that we knew how to use ore correctly and what to do if we fell overboard. Unlike other companies on the river, they make sure that he had the proper helmets and that we were not jumping off rocks and we were not sitting on the front of the boat to fall in. The entire river rafting tour was an exciting adventure for our family and we really want to thank Will for his superb guide service. He made the river rafting an extra fun experience for my family and I. Would highly recommend using them. Just a great overall experience that we will never forget.
