Great whitewater rafting trip

The Tahoe Whitewater Rafting crew really know how to show you a good time. Our guide was David and he was so much fun and a great guide. David really wanted to make sure we knew what we were doing and ready for Jaws and Pinball. He made sure we were all in sync and kept us abreast of what was coming up. We even had some fun with one of the other rafts. The ride was absolutely amazing and really a great time. I highly recommend it...even if you're a beginner. Hint: I highly recommend you get the photo package as there were some amazing shots taken and the price is great.

Awesome trip, great guides, the number ONE thing on our vacation.

When you consider everything Tahoe has to offer...this experience was the unanimous number one selection for "favorite thing we did on vacation". That says it all. Our guide Will was awesome, the scenery breathtaking, and the water was epic. Add this to your list NOW.

fantastic

Wonderful experience... we had a wonderful afternoon with this group. It was a large group, but the whole experience was safe and fun and we were quite spread out. The guides were experienced and great company (we had Ivan as our guide). We felt safe the whole way. There were places to jump off the raft and swim and just the right amount of exciting rapids.
