Rafting the Truckee - Excellent guides, great views, fun experience. All staff is hospitable and cool to hang out with, from check in, to photographer, bus driver and last but not least the guides. Beautiful way to spend a morning. Our guide Diesel made the experience much more memorable; we’ll go back and seek him out when we do advanced water! Thank you for hosting us.

Adam is number #1 - Wanted to give a shout out to Adam our guide. From the start we felt confident and safe with him. Even when we had to rescue another raft that flipped he did a great job navigating rough water with 12 people in the raft! We had 2 young kids with and he knew we really didn't want to flip with them. Fun adventure, and most of that had to do with him. Thanks again!

Fun Time - Very good experience. The rafting was fun. Emily was our guide and she had some great stories. This was my first time doing this and Class III rapids were exciting without feeling too dangerous.

Book it!! - This trip was so fun! I truly believe if you are at all interested in white water rafting or adventure and adrenaline rush, you need to book it! Ivan was our guide and he’s been doing this a long time and even an instructor so he knew the names of side creeks, who owned property, and random facts. The water in June was very cold but the whole boat still jumped in and took advantage of swimming holes. I would definitely do this again when I come back to Lake Tahoe!

Epic Adventure! Safe, Scenic and so much fun! - Our family had an absolute blast rafting down the Truckee River this last weekend. The experience was the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation, which was just right for our skill level (none!) The river was absolutely beautiful, the rapids were thrilling without being too intimidating. What really made our trip exceptional was our guide, Diesel. He was a rock star. He knew a ton about the history of the area and gave very clear direction. And man...can he steer a boat! He helped us nail the rapids just right. We are definitely going with this company again. We were going to do the American River with a different company, but nope...not now. Tahoe Whitewaters all the way!! They treat their customers with kindness and were so much fun. And the photographer, Chris, from Base Camp Adventure Photography, caught some amazing shots!! Highly recommend!! We can't wait for our next adventure later this summer!!

Great experience but take your phone at your own discretion! - Was definitely a great experience but I am highly disappointed in the photos that they took. We were told were going to be discounted to $65 if you chose at the beginning of the trip if you wanted to purchase but $85 if you chose after the trip was over. Why was I charged $73, not sure. TAKE YOUR PHONE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION! They try to convince you not to take it so you can buy their photos. Take a clear pouch phone holder that goes around your neck. The views from our view are beautiful and I totally regret not taking my phone. There is so much slow times where the photos can be taken safely. Their photos are not worth it. If you are in the front seats all the photos are all for you. If you are in the middle or back, forget it you’re not seen in the photos. I got one decent photo that cost me $73! All the angles are from very high. Also they put it on a USB. I was not able to see my photos still I got back from vacation and had to find a computer to download the photos because my iPad does not have a usb port. Emailing them Would have been so much more better. Aside from all that the staff was very nice and professional! We had a few in our group That were in their 50s and they all were injured from falling out of the rafts. Be mindful of your body when booking this. If you are not strong enough to know your body’s Strength or balance please think twice. These people were very upset even though we know injuries are a possibility you never expect it to you happen to you.
