Whitewater Adventures

We went for our first trip last year about 10 of us in our group. It was the best time ever get the rush of the white water rafting and then the calm areas to stop as you want to hang out and swim jump from rocks hang out on land we have a group going this year of 12 people and we can hardly wait we plan to do this every year the staff is great and laid back love this place.

Great people, awesome scenery and one hella of a great time. Been going on trips with these guys for over 13yrs and gets better every time. We have a pretty big group each year and the staff is amazing with accommodating us and making sure we have fun. All the staff is awesome and very friendly, clean campsites and always clean safety gear and rafts. We have done all the trips either 1 day, 2 day or the Friday night with 2 day trips and enjoy it either way. If you are even thinking about rafting this is the place to go. They do everything they can to make sure you have a great time. Great BBQ, lunches and dinner are always yummy. As for the river they make sure everyone is well informed and can ask as many questions as you want. Just book your trip and you won’t regret it!!!

Great Time 2015
READY FOR July 2016
The staff has been very helpful with communicating — looking forward to our trip.

Got White Water! Got their number on speed dial ;) Seriously, my family and friends had an epic adventure thanks to whitewater adventures. They provide you with great meals and activities when you arent in the water. When you are, the set up and route they have is awesome. They drive you to a point on the river and you end up at your campsite. Very cool. Booking another trip right now!

I’ve been rafting with this outfitter for the 5^th time now, and there’s a reason why I come back to them. The staffs are friendly and pleasant and offers great accommodation. I’ve looked around online and found that their pricings are very competitive and is probably the lowest around the sacrramento area.
Rafting with Whitewater adventures is loads of fun. they provide one day or two day adventures… which I’ve done both. if you want a weekend of fun I recommend the two days with overnight camping. I swear each time I gained 5 lbs with the amount of food they feed you for dinner and next morning breakfast.
I love the fact that this is a class 3 adventures; which gives you the thrills of white water action, but also calming enough at certain spots of the river to allow you goof off time with other rafters.
If you’re looking for some fun in the sun this summer I highly recommend you try Whitewater adventures as they will take great care of you!

Been there the last several years with my friend (WOODY) and his group. Love it and will keep going for another several years! The environment is great best rafting trip ever!

I just booked my trip, I have been coming here for the past 8 years.
This is the most excite you can have in a day and a half. The price
Is fantastic and the people and service are «FABULOUS»…
First day:
The meet up with your crew in the parking lot (9/​10am).
Throwing all of your belongings in a pile and having them loaded on the bus.
The very bumpy and fun ride to the camp site.
The walk over to meeting place to get instruction and pick your boat.
The pickup of the spectacular lunches all waterproofed and ready to go.
Hitting that water screaming and ready to go.
That ride down the rapids until we get to the lunch spot.
The water fights, the fun the people.
That night:
The food that is prepared is so simple yet you feel like you’re a King/​Queen.
I get the steak and that potato is about 1 pound, they are so prepared.
The party at night, get your glow on and the party back at your tent.
The night air (and it is dark) that great sleep because your dog tired
And the morning when you feel the burn of the previous day rafting
The next morning:
Breakfast is served again the service is grade A++ fresh fruit yeah.
Now you just pack everything up and throw it back in the pile.
Grab your boat and your lunch and head on back the rapids to the finish.
Run into that wonderful «MOTHER» of Rapid and take that picture (SMILE).
This trip is all that and some, the only CON is I am deathly afraid of «Port-​to-​Patties»
So I pray and close my eyes each time make sure to bring a flashlight… lol…
Oh and bring some wipes there are no showers but what is better than the
smell of «FEAR/​FUN».
Book it Let’s GO!!!

This is by far my favorite rafting outfit. I’ve done the overnight trip at least 8 times and the day trips as well. I’m hooked. Greatest staff. They really take care of you here. It’s just such a fun experience to have with your family and friends. I’ll keep coming back until my heart goes out. Thank you again Whitewateradventures

I’ve been on the 2 day rafting trip with Whitewater Adventures 3 times and plan to return again this year. They are very well organized and the staff is always friendly and helpful. After a long day of rafting, it’s nice to mingle with the other rafters during dinner and I really enjoyed the parties at night. It’s a fun weekend getaway. They supply you with more than enough food and the overall atmosphere has always been fun. Can’t wait to get back out there!

Great company to work with! They were so accommodating, and made everything very easy. I went last year with a big group, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The white party was so much fun too! Can’t wait to go again this year!

I went on this adventure with a group of friends for 4^th of July weekend last year. It was an awesome experience from start to finish!
Friday:
We paid extra to come A day early so we can get settled in since we are from SoCal. Took the recommendation fr another review. Was totally worth it! There was plenty of room to choose a spot for our group as it is first come first serve.
As we arrived to the lot to park our cars we were greeted by one of the employees. Nice and friendly… she gave us instructions, papers to sign and then we boarded to bus with our things.
Once we arrived to our camp spot we unloaded and started setting up camp. They had appetizers waiting for us and we’re starting to prep dinner. What else was left to do was eat, relax and rest up for the next day’s adventure.
Sat:
Woke up at a decent hour to have breakfast (traditional American) to fuel up for the day. Had some healthy options and some snacks like fruit and pastries for us to take on the raft. Then boarded to bus to take us up to the launching area where they gave us instructions on what to expect for the day. As we made way to our raft they handed out our lunches sandwich/chips)in a water proof bag. They also allows us to bring our own «beerverages» as long as we can handle it on our own.
All of us in our group opted for the 2 person raft. Was much easier to paddle in. It took us about 4−5hours til we made it to the camp site. Stopping halfway for lunch in a nice shady spot. Also stopped in some pretty areas just to go for a swim. We were having an awesome time as there were others who had some good music blasting while they cruised down the river as well as water guns to spray each other… it was a pretty hot weekend. There were some parts that were kinda scary to go over if you took the wrong route. But if you look ahead and plan it should be fairly easy to direct yourself.
After arriving back at camp we had time to take a nice nap before appetizer/​dinner/​night glow/​bubble party. You were free to do anything for the rest of the afternoon/​evening.
Sunday:
Same schedule as sat except you had to get up early enough to pack up camp before heading to the launch area. Same type of breakfast and lunch. This time around you would know exactly what to do.
Overall:
Fun weekend trip for people who like to somewhat «rough it style» camping. (With the exception of having port o potties avail-​no showers). Event better since we didn’t have to cook and the food was just simple and delicious! It was a «no brainier» for the price we paid… worth every pennyJust came to to relax and have some fun with good ol Mother Nature! The crew who ran the place was awesome. Answered any questions we have and also came to hang with us. I wouldn’t have anything to complain about.
We def expect to come rafting with these guys again!

This review is coming from a person that has been rafting since she was 6 years old and I can honestly say Whitewater Adventures is by far the best way to go! NOT HAVING TO COOK? No-​brainer, seriously delicious also! We have been going on this specific trip for 5 year, adding more people each time. Honestly, once a person goes with us they do not ever miss it the next year. This year we have the biggest group we have ever had 20+ people. The best part about planning this trip with so many people is Whitewater Adventures let’s each person call in and pay/​hold a spot, you do not have to do any thinking and the person hosting even gets a free trip if you have 12 people, so cool!
I suggest doing a 2 man raft as it is much easier to maneuver and self bailing. take your time down the river, why rush through the big mountains? The views are breathtaking, ENJOY!
BRING A SUPER SOAKER and make some friends (haha, it’s the funnest part!)
I suggest bringing tons of water and ice, that’s the only thing we ran out of… But, of course, the wonderful staff had some extra and were happy to keep us hydrated!
This trip is not to be missed, i look forward to it all year! Expecially this year as it is going to be the best rafting year in over a decade! IS IT AUGUST YET!!!

I have been going here for 5 years now and have always loved it. Started going with a friend who has been going there longer. Ive always had fun and never really any complaints besides waiting and listening to the opening speech about safety. It does get hot but only way to make sure ppl don’t get hurt is to make its dummy proof (i.e. Make them listen) I love the idea of camping and roughing it in the outdoors and only having portable potties. Its definitely an experience and not taking showers and having people all around you in the outdoors is what it is all about. Rafting is fun and tons of people on the river with you. you can throw water balloons shoot water guns or whatever you want to have fun. I do recommend doing the 2 man self bailing raft which is way easier to steer and less likely to fall out. This trip is going to be as fun as you make it. I have read some of the other reviews and lets be realistic and honest its a camping trip and rafting trip.
There will be no showers (ur camping, jump in the water), no privacy (tents are close), decent food (but tons of it), drunk ppl (they are everywhere), Heat (its summer time), and ur rafting u will and sometimes want to fall out of the raft (very refreshing). I felt like i was going to die 1 time because i struggled because i didn’t put my life vest on correctly that was my fault. But its fun telling my story and keep going back because its fun and its a memory i will never forget.
If you want 5 star restaurant food, ur life vest sized and put on you, ur raft paddled for you by instructors or guides, and someone to walk u through ur whole trip then Whitewater Adventures is not for you. if you don’t want to fall out or have too many ppl around you i don’t suggest going to any of these businesses and go on ur own possibly to Oregon very nice and very simple and beautiful views.
Now if you want to have fun and enjoy being outdoors with family and friends Whitewater is AWESOME. Owner is out there with you in the heat, serving food, talking to everyone, and very customer friendly. This is a place you will have fun and create a great experience if you want to. Every time there is a different crowd so could run into some bad company (thats everywhere you go), but if you go in a good size group with friends and family you are gonna have an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommend to all my friends and trying to get everyone i know to come with me every year it seems lol.
Thanks WWA for all the memories and those not yet created!

Dear Unilocalers,
This was the best rafting trip I’ve ever been on! The Whitewater Adventures staff went above and beyond, everything from booking my trip with the office to the river crew. The river is beautiful, and the rapids are nonstop fun. More rapids per mile than any other river I’ve rafted before. The food was fantastic, and more than any one person could feast on. I highly recommend this trip to all Unilocalers, family and friends. I give this company 5 stars plus!

I just booked my weekend rafting trip for this summer and I can’t wait! The river is going to be the best it’s been in years.
I’ve been rafting with Whitewater Adventures for years now and I can’t wait until our annual trip
PROS
–I’m not a very athletic person and this rafting is exhilarating for the first timers!
–If you choose to come up on the optional Friday night they feed you dinner, breakfast and you get to pick out the best campsites
–They provide you with all of your meals.
–They have self-​baling 2 person rafts that are really easy to maneuver. They also have larger rafts if you want to go down the river with some friends.
–The scenery is gorgeous, it is so relaxing and beautiful once you are on the river. Lots of wildlife.
–The food was so good and the staff is always there with a smile and helping hand.
–I’m now addicted to rafting and have to go every summer.
CONS
–Seriously none unless you don’t like getting wet and having fun. They even have a disco dance party after dinner.
After 10:30 it’s lights out and quiet time around camp which is nice because we were all so tired from the day’s activities.
I’ve told all my friends about these trips and am always bringing new people with me. If you are looking for the best rafting trip call these guys. They plan everything out for you and all you have to do is show up, raft and have fun

This is by far the best outfit around! Just got back from my 6^th year trip and can’t wait for many more! Mark and his crew always put on a great time. The river is great for beginners to experienced rafters. The whole experience is great you will not be disappointed that I can promise!!!

This was the second year we have done this as a group. We have always had a great time doing the 2 day rafting trip and camping. Here are some tips for anyone who is planning to go. Make sure to get a cooler that you can tie down and «locks» so you aren’t chasing your beverages down the river if/​when you flip over. Bring folding chairs to the campsite so you will have somewhere to sit. Also, many people have water guns on the river so if you don’t want to get ambushed make sure to bring one with you on the raft!
My only recommendation is that WWA has somewhere to wash your hands after using the portable toilets. There was just a table of hand sanitizer this year.
We can’t wait to plan our trip for next year!!!

I went down for whitewater rafting for the first time this last weekend. I haven’t been on Unilocal much, but I had to share my experience! I was expecting to cruise down the river and enjoy myself, but I got much more.
The itinerary they had planned was so much fun! We woke up early on Saturday and drove up to the top of the river. We had a quick orientation given by the charismatic guy who ran the show and then suited up and got on the river! At first I was rushing through, but I remembered the guy at the beginning suggested we take it slow and enjoy the full experience. The scenery was amazing, and while the rapids were fun, hanging out in the boat during the lulls were equally as enjoyable in good company. It was hot, but there were spots where you could hop in the water and cool off, if the rapids didn’t get you wet enough! We stopped along the way and had lunch they had prepared for us. The craziest part were the two biggest Rapids called «mother» and «widow». People got thrown around and were loving it! The crew was standing by at all times and it was fun to see them jump in and help people out when needed. We got back to camp and had some much needed down time, then they made us dinner and we had a dance party! It was crazy with all the black lights, laser lights and even bubbles! I had no idea what bubbles looked like under black lighting! The next day I was far too tired to go down again, but plenty of other people did the trip down the river a second time.
The crew was what really made it outstanding though. They were all super hard working and friendly people. I didn’t talk to them much but they were always happy to help and danced with us at the dance party!
It was fun for whitewater rafting, but also an amazing adventure and experience. I’m definitely going back with a bigger group of all my girlfriends in a couple weeks and I hope to make this an annual trip. Thanks whitewater adventures!

THEY HAVE WATER!
As in the river was full and the rafting was good. Yes, rafting (even a level 3) can be dangerous but the staff did a great job explaining what to do in case you fall out which helped immensely when we capsized! There’s a good chance you’ll get banged up a bit but you’ll be fine if you’re not too stupid or drunk. There are staff around certain areas in case you need help or to have a picture taken. If not, there are rafters coming through all the time and won’t hesitate to help if needed. Otherwise you are mostly left on your own to go at your own pace which I really liked.
Suggestions:
Get a 2 person boat even if you are in a bigger group. It’s easy to stick together and you don’t have to worry about bailing water in a bigger boat.
Don’t bring anything you would hate to lose. Chances are, the river will take it.
Wear water shoes. Good ones.
Take your time. Stop for a drink or snack and take it all in. You have PLENTY of time.
THIS IS A PARTY PLACE.
The atmosphere is that of an adult summer camp. If you are aware and accepting of this, you’ll have a blast. The black light party was fun but only about an hour long so go and enjoy! Bring glow sticks, highlighters, whatever and rave out. You won’t be the only ones, I promise.
Your tent will be close to other campers and that’s the point. Be social. Bring a big group of people. Bring games. Bring alcohol. Bring snacks. Bring a ridiculous amount of water (to drink, to rinse off, to brush your teeth, etc.). They provide plenty of drinking water if you need but it’s in water coolers and could be far away from your site. There are no other facilities for any kind of hygiene.
DONT worry about bringing too much. If you have a lot of small things, use a large plastic bin or duffel bag. DO put your name on everything. It makes it much easier to find when the staff transfer your stuff. DO bring lots of ice. If you think you’ve got enough, go get more.
FOOD WAS PLENTIFUL.
And besides the lunch, everything was pretty delicious. They even had appetizers. I was very impressed with the efficiency and quality of the meals.
I would suggest springing for the Friday night option for several reasons:
1. You get the top pick for your campsite
2. You don’t have to set up camp in Saturday afternoon heat after rafting all day
3. Dinner was delicious
4. Movie night was chill
5. Transfer from the parking lot was very simple and fast and much easier to keep tabs on your stuff
Dislikes:
1. PORTA POTTIES — There were too few, all in one place, and no where to clean, wash or rinse off. So disgusting. Please find a solution for this! It would make the trip 1,000 times better.
2. Early mornings — This is a personal problem
3. Lack of a clear itinerary — We almost missed the bus Saturday morning for rafting because we only had a two minute warning. With that being said, don’t hesitate to ask questions! Staff or other campers (half of them were return campers and also very helpful).
4. No mayo — obviously a personal preference for the burgers and sandwiches.
5. No music — No radios are allowed for understandable reasons (easier to enforce quiet hours) but it would have been nice during the downtime day hours.
The owner and staff are great. They obviously love what they do and you can tell they’d be out there joining you off the clock as well. Besides being super helpful and accommodating, they are fun and laid back just to talk to. Half the campers are return customers, so that in itself shows the quality of this company. I’ll be back but will be bringing many friends with me!

If you want to relax in the beautiful Northern California hills, raft down some fun but not scary rapids, and meet some awesome people then I would highly recommend Whitewater Adventures! What an amazing weekend!
I had my bachelorette party here and it was an absolute blast! Here are the things you have to look forward to:
— great staff! Mark and everyone at WWA is very nice, laid back and accommodating. Thanks Ivan, Megan, Andy, Shawn and Jareel!
— beautiful camping location. If you are looking for «glamping» this may not be for you. But if you are looking for a simple campsite with great views this is it.
–the river! Rafting down is so much fun, even when you get stuck or fall out. It is not guided so you have the freedom to get through as fast or slow as you would like.
–disco dance party! A family friendly party with plenty of black lights and good music.
We will definitely be back next year!
