Sierra South Mountain Sports - Kernville, California

We had a great time on our family rafting adventure! The guides were amazing people. They gave informative information about the area that we found very interesting as well as lots of quiet moments to just enjoy the tranquility of the area.

We brought our 10 year old and nearly 13 year old girls. They had a great time too. Anytime we were near rocks my husband and I both noticed our guide would put his oar up on whichever side had rocks to ensure their safety and that we wouldn’t drift too close where we’d have to worry about them bumping into a rock.

We chose a level 2 & 3 section since it was their first time. They had a lot of fun and want to come back and try a 3 & 4 next time!

Nick and Jolie were awesome guides. Just pure fun. Don’t recall any glitches. The photos are pricey. We did the half day 11-3pm lower Kern. The river is very scenic.

What an awesome experience!!!! Very organized, well run organization. Our guide Joseph was perfect. We were first timers, and he was very patient, and made sure we had a great time. Lunch was good too! Highly recommend.

This was my first rafting experience. I was a bit worried first, I am not a big fan of water sports, but this blew my mind. It was a fantastic 2.5 hours spent on a river. I felt safe all the time, our guide Will was really straightforward what we had to do to have a great time and stay in the boat. I would do this again in a heart beat. As a matter of fact, we will book another adventure within a few weeks again. Unfortunately the photographer did not catch us on his lens very well. That could certainly be approved.

We did the lower kern overnight trip for a bachelor party. (14 guys). Had an absolute blast rafting, sleeping under the starts, etc… (Ian, Aaron and Izzy were our guides and they were great) would highly recommend!

We've been on two rafting trips with Sierra South in the last two years and have absolutely loved our experience! Great guides - knowledgable, friendly. Lots of fun! This year, our trip had to be cancelled due to fires, but Sierra was good about keeping us up to date and letting us know our options. We ended up missing out on the rafting - lower Kern was off limits, but had a super fun time tubing on the Upper Kern. Again, staff was super friendly, great with getting us set up and armed with the information we needed for a fun time. Definitely, recommend Sierra South if you're looking for adventure on the Kern.

A friend and I drove up from Los Angeles for a half day rafting trip on a previous Sunday. It was absolutely outstanding. We got the cheaper rate on Sunday, which was a great value. The weather outside was close to 100° and the river felt so refreshing and exhilarating. The class 4 Rapids were very exciting. It was fun to jump out of the raft and swim a little along the river. The rock jumping was also very fun. Our guide, Nell’s, was so great. I would definitely encourage you, friends, and family to take a trip to Kernville and experience this amazing adventure. This is a great company and I would highly recommend.
