BEST time ever! Military discount available! Call and ask ahead. We appreciate that they appreciate my husband’s service.
My family did a 1/2 day PM trip at the Truckee River location. The main guy was Nate. He was hilarious and extremely knowledgeable. He was a nationally ranked competitive Kayaker (No. 15). The driver and photographer was Will. This guy is versatile and very approachable and kind. He was playing a parlor guitar in the van and seems unassuming but the man is in shape and running up hills capturing us in photos along the trip down the river. There were many guides that seem so nice and patient; ours was “Chin”. There is a limit of 5-6 people so it was just us 4 and Chin. He was the perfect guide to go with us on our raft. He gave us clear instructions and we kicked butt on the trip. Everyone stayed in the raft. No “swimmers” lol. This was my kids’ first time rafting and also mine but we have kayaked a lot. My husband said he river rafted in Thailand a long time ago but Chin explained everything perfectly to us and kept us encouraged and motivated. The energy was amazing. We worked as a team and had an exciting trip! If the temp is below 80 I HIGHLY suggest you grab one of the free to use jackets. Wrap it around your waist and use it when needed. You will have time to put it on along the trip. Just as your guide when is a good time. I was the only one wearing one and the top half of me stayed dry and warm while my family was freezing. It was 75ish degrees but the water was cold. So just take it! You may not need it but if you do, then at least you’ll be prepared! Also do NOT take any electronics or jewelry. Just leave it behind. You won’t need it. The RV park where the pick up/drop off site is at is very safe. You’re good. And they will lock up the car keys so you are perfectly fine with the bare minimum. These guys have it all under control. I trust them.
Oh also at first I thought lil kids should come along but afterwards I realized that unless you have a mature, athletic 7 year old (that’s the age limit) then you really shouldn’t put them through the trip. There was one kid on a raft this trip and poor guy looked scared to death. I felt awful for him. My kids are 12 and 13 and play sports and like I said, we kayak a lot so they know how to use paddles and maneuver a lil water vessel/raft.
I highly recommend this tour guide company. Take the trip!!!! Such a beautiful lifetime memory for my family.
