We enjoyed a full-day trip with family and friends that was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Ethan, was highly knowledgeable and managed both the boat and the crowd exceptionally well. We experienced a lot of boat hopping, surfing, and various other exciting maneuvers that I can't quite remember right now. The equipment was top-notch, and the overall vibe was fun yet professional. Safety was prioritized, and we had an amazing time. The kids are still raving about it. The owners also took excellent care of us, assisting with lunch and shuttle arrangements. I wish I could remember their names. I highly recommend this full-day adventure for anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors and get a bit wet. The Class 3 rapids were fantastic for both adults and kids. Great job H2O, and thank you, Ethan, for such a memorable day!
The crew at H2O Adventures is fantastic. As a family-run business, they focus on providing an enjoyable atmosphere without the corporate feel. Tyler, Fianna, and their team prioritize fun and a shared experience while rafting, ensuring no hidden fees. I completed the full 21-mile run after two trips on the Lower South Fork, and it was an amazing experience. H2O supplied all necessary gear, including wetsuits and jackets, allowing me to fully enjoy the adventure. The guides, including Marina, Nate, and Devin, made the trip even more enjoyable. If it’s been a while since you’ve rafted, or if you’re a beginner, H2O Adventures will take excellent care of you.
Our day with Blake and Jeremy was fantastic. The rapids were gorgeous, the experience was incredibly enjoyable, and we particularly loved the tow-in. Thank you, Happy Summer!
Rafting was an incredible experience! Mike was an outstanding guide—funny, well-informed, and he truly made the outing enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and will definitely request him for next summer. Many thanks to Alan for organizing it!
If you're planning on whitewater rafting, make sure to ask for Mike. He knows the river like no one else. Mike combines thrill-seeking, humor, and river safety expertise, ensuring our group felt completely secure while enjoying an exciting ride. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his clear instructions made everything easy to follow. Even the moments of downtime felt quick with his humor, tales of river history, and rafting adventures. It’s rare to find someone who can navigate tough rapids while keeping everyone laughing. We experienced everything from heart-pounding drops to fun splashy moments, and we definitely triumphed in every water skirmish against other rafts. In short, I will always request Mike. He truly is a whitewater expert. Looking forward to seeing you again on the river, Mike!
This trip was truly fantastic and visually stunning! As a retired woman, I felt a bit anxious at first, but the crew made me feel secure throughout the journey. Tyler, our driver, was delightful and really set a fun atmosphere. Marina, our guide, communicated important safety information in a cheerful manner, radiating confidence and ensuring we had a wonderful time. Jody also provided a delicious lunch. Overall, it was an incredibly enjoyable day, and I highly recommend this experience.
I went whitewater rafting today with H2O Adventures and had an incredible time. Our guide, Blake, was exceptional; he ensured our safety and made it a memorable experience on the river. Fianna, the booking agent, matched us with the ideal guide. Additionally, our driver, Jeremy, impressed me with his extensive knowledge of Coloma and the Marshall Gold Discovery Park. I highly recommend H2O Adventures for rafting—definitely a ten out of ten.
It was an amazing day on the river! From our morning driver, Jeremy, to our guide Blake, and our afternoon driver, whose name I can't remember, the entire team was fantastic. This trip won't disappoint. The rapids were a blast, and I especially appreciate Blake for ensuring my safety. Go Team USA! Go Team Maine! I loved you all!
Taking my kids, aged 8 and 10, rafting was a wonderful experience. The crew was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, from Glen, our driver, to Shelby, who provided lunch. Everyone was so kind, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Our lead rafter, Anne, was particularly impressive; her knowledge and friendliness made the day special. She tailored the full-day trip for our family and even shared fascinating history along the 21-mile journey. Her enthusiasm and expertise in rafting were outstanding, making me want to return just to experience another trip with her. Thanks to the entire H20 team; we plan to come back!
I recently went on an adventure with H2o Adventures alongside three friends, and it was an incredible experience. Our expert guide Ann and her team ensured we had an unforgettable time on the river. I ended up soaked, sore, and grinning widely. Would I join again? Absolutely! H2o also treated us to a tasty lunch and brownies from our driver Tony on the way back to camp. Don't miss out on the excitement of bull riding and the exhilarating swimmer's rapids!
