2 testimonials about this trip

  1. Reviewer: D. Egbert located in Antioch, CA USA
    My family and I just returned from our first whitewater rafting trip down the American River and we had so much fun. It was truly an experience we will never forget and a big part of that was because of your wonderful employees. Our guide made our trip so enjoyable that I'm sure we'll be back again. I was constantly amazed at his knowledge of the river and his genuine concern that my family and I have a memorable experience. And boy, did we! He always challenged us but never to the point where I felt we were in danger ( just to the edge of it, ha!). I felt we were in very capable hands and totally trusted him. All I have to do is howl (aahhoo) and we are right back on the river surrounded by all of God's glory and having the time of our lives. Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation.

    We loved our trip with Oars to Peru and now we only want to do more active vacations. We did like our comfy hotels at the end of the day and the great food but really enjoyed the outdoor aspects. Great Job!
