I haven't had this much fun since I was a child. EVERYTHING was amazing. My boyfriend and I did the 3 day trip. We had a different guide everyday and each guide was awesome in their own way. If you're not going down a rapid you're enjoying their stories. The guides know what they're doing any they made the experience fun. I have never rafted before this trip and honestly I don't know what I've been doing with my life all this time. We will definitely be returning for more adventures... I think we're ready for the North Fork. Pro tip: check out your photos at the end of the day. Shefy catches some amazing moments. The faces when you see the rapids are unforgettable and hilarious.

Best place ever. Epic weekend. We purchased the weekend package, came with 5 meals, friday and saturday night camping, and of course 21 miles on The river with The best guides ever. The superb adventure and excellent service started with checking in at reception continued with the people who served the food, the guides who took us down the American River, and then ended with the photographers who took our pictures while we were on the raft. Best pics ever. Everyone was full of smiles and wonderful conversation. I can't say enough on how extremely pleasant and wonderful the people were. Oh yeah and the camp ground was very peaceful, relaxing, and Clean. The pond was awesome to sit at during sunset and listen to the crickets, frogs, and of course the river. The swimming pool was perfect and the showers were hot. I will definitely be taking the family back for more river fun and just a good old time. Can't wait to plan my next trip

We came back for a second year to do the middle fork. We enjoyed the professional courtesy and competent staff they have. Handling of the whole logistics of the trip is excellent and they answer all your questions and some more. The Middle fork was wild we loved it especially the tunnel chute .. they served us lunch and everything was clean. We stayed at the family resort camp site and that wasn’t so hot, they are not well organized there, they told us dinner will be served and it didn’t happen.

What an amazing experience. From the booking to the end of the day bus ride - it was A the whole way. After reaching out to ask which would be the best option for one of children that was a little nervous, Jennifer replied on a personal level that helped us decide. Very thankful for her recommendation. Check in was smooth and well organized with Covid precautions in place. Our guide Corbin was spectacular. We truly felt he made our trip even more enjoyable. He knew a lot about the area and certain put us at ease with instructions, answers to questions and lots of nuggets of information my kids are still talking about. We can’t wait to return and would like to request Corbin again. Chet checked us in, gave us safety tips and rode on the bus at the end of the day. He was a lot of fun and fantastic at what his does. Those two made our trip so much more memorable. Thank you guys! Your professionalism, knowledge and connection meant everything.

Rafted with AWE in April 2018 on a solo birthday weekend and had a really good time then. This weekend I wanted to share the experience with family and we all LOVED everything from camping under the stars the night before to our trip on the South Fork Lower Gorge the next morning. Don't know if you can choose your river guide but if you can, go with CHET! He went above and beyond to give our rafting experience that extra bang for our buck. I'm really grateful he helped me make my nephew's birthday weekend one of the best we'll all remember. Overall a great experience for any summer but definitely a great getaway given the current circumstances. Glad they are taking the extra precautions to keep people safe to allow them to keep providing these awesome experiences for us.
