Our guide was absolutely amazing was super skilled, very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time! The water was freezing (of course) but it was an adventure we will never forget.

I took my kids rafting and had a great time. We did 5he gorge trip.
You start off with a BBQ lunch...then the rules and safety. It was like 3 hours on 4he water.
If you like this type of thing...its a great experience...lots of laughs

They did a good job of making the rafting trip fun and safe at the same time. There is nothing more I could ask for.

About White Water Connection
No two rivers are exactly the same—and even the same river can vary from year to year due to flooding, downed trees, and weather patterns that lead to changes in the water level. What could one year be classified as Class II rapids—with a wide, clear channel and easily avoidable rocks—could next be a Class III, with irregular waves, a swift current, and tight passages that require complex maneuvering. Thankfully, there's White Water Connections.
The rafting company provides rafting trips through some of California's most pristine and envigorating rapids. The same trip can have rapids of different intensity, too, which leads to thrilling, varied rafting experiences. Just around the bend, the smooth, effortless flow of a Class I stretch can transform into a Class IV rapid, complete with large drops and stretches of continuous whitewater fit only for advanced paddlers. The experienced team of guides and instructors are on hand to help guests navigate the ever-changing rapids.
