A Bonding Experience Like No Other
There are few group activities in the world that can bring friends and family closer together like California whitewater rafting. An experience like this brings you closer to nature, closer to each other.
It’s simply amazing. Whitewater rafting is something you must do at least once in your life, and the American River is perfect for all skill levels. It offers fun for beginners and for more seasoned veterans alike.
None of us had ever experienced whitewater rafting before – and we were all in our late 40’s and early 50’s.
Mike didn’t just guide the raft safely down the river, but guided all of us through a wonderful adventure.
