Willow is a Rockstar - The water is cold and you won’t be taking anything on the boat with you. No cameras or water bottles. The guides are super knowledgeable and really do a great job coaching you on what to do.

Fun family friendly rafting - There is a lot of chill rafting with all the bigger sections right towards the end. Paddle when told and you might make it down still in the boat.

Both fun and relaxing - We signed up for this tour without ever having rafted before. We were a little nervous but had an absolute blast. There are several areas of exciting white water and plenty of calmer spots where you can hop in for a quick swim or float. The guides did an amazing job of ensuring everyone was familiar with rowing maneuvers and safety. We never once felt unsafe or uncertain. The guides were all so great and all looked out for each other’s rafts and folks. Drew was our personal raft guide, and he was absolutely incredible. It was evident that they all not only enjoy their jobs but also really enjoy working with each other. They seem to have a lot of fun, and experiencing those dynamics is special. There are restrooms at the parking lot if you need them. Once your items are locked in your vehicle, you can leave your key with the company for safekeeping. Some items can be taken on the raft if they’re able to be secured appropriately. We had so much fun, and this was one of the highlights of our trip to Tahoe. We actually debated returning for a second rafting experience but ran out of time. We will be sure to return next time we vacation at the lake. Can’t recommend this company enough!! Just a tip - Keep on the lookout for the convenient roadside sign for the company. Our GPS was being wild and initially took us to a campground on the other side of the reservoir, about 5 miles away from where we were supposed to be. When we put the same address back in again, it took us to a random location that was a large pile of rocks by the road a mile or so past where we were supposed to be. Thankfully, there is a little sign with the company name by the road in the parking lot that helped us find it since technology was whack that day.

Teenage boys & parents all had a blast! - Adam was the best guide! Couldn’t have asked for more! The white water rafting was really fun & Adam looked after us all managing two Adrenalin filled teenagers & their parents… Adam also had so much local knowledge & gave us lots of tips for more Tahoe adventures! We may well be back for the all day rafting! The Jaws rapid was really fun!

Highly recommend!! - So fun. The entire team was friendly, engaging, and encouraging which added to the overall experience. Our guide, Lexi, not only made sure we were prepared for the rapids but also talked with us about the area giving us some history and neat facts about the river. Overall a great experience, the company took care of everything; would recommend for anyone wanting to disconnect from the world for a couple hours, enjoy nature, have an adventure….and ready to get wet!
