All 3 of our guides, Nikola, Lauren, Jake (cheeks!), became legends in our memories. All 3 made the trip worth every minute from the food, to the camp setups, the games, side adventures, and the company. This river is very beautifully scenic. The cold water makes the hot summer temps completely tolerable. And the chance to float rapid with only a PFD is so memorable. We highly recommend DRA! Without hesitation we would book another trip with DRA and only hope to get our fantastic 3 - Lauren, Nikola, and Cheeks!

Big Eddy Thriller: The ride was short and sweet! The whole thing is dialed in, these folks know…read moreexactly what they're doin. They start on time, so don't mess around and miss the bus (though not sure they'd leave anyone, it's a friendly place). Mikie communicated expectations well from the jump and got us to and from safely. Trevor was a great raft guide, clearly loves what he does, and as far as I could tell, does it well. Would row for him again for sure. Rode a raft with a family my partner and I didn't know, it was a good time all around. Will probably hit up another tour next summer for fun, was worth it. Tips? Kinda? You could easily hit this and another outing in one day. Set your timing right and you could ride and then raft, this is certainly a good time but it doesn't take long door to door. If you care about pics sit in the front. If you're worried about rowing, don't sit on the right for big eddy (the guide will likely seat folks for safety and row power anyhow). Not sure I need to say this but I will, there isn't a dry seat on the raft. The road to the spot is bumpy, sit toward the front if that bothers you. If your kids not taller than an oar, they likely won't get one. There are two spots you'll be offered to jump in.

We just did the Big Eddy Thriller as a group of 5 (3 adults, 2 kids) and had a great time…read more Super easy online booking and check in. Well organized prep and pickup in Sunriver, in the main village behind the Sunriver Country Store. Our guide, Lanny was lovely and kept us safe while also ensuring our group ranging from ages 7-50 had a great time. Only real feedback has to do with the to/from transportation and driver sales pitch. School bus to the put in added a lot of extra time to the overall trip which made the short time on the river feel even shorter. And while Roberto our driver was lovely, the sales pitch for other trips that Sun Country offers prior to heading back to the main office felt very sales-y and drawn out. These guys can't help how the river and rapids are set up but they could be more efficient with time overall. My kids definitely had a blast and have been bitten by the whitewater rafting bug. Thanks to Lanny for a great time on the water!

I recently went on an overnight rafting trip with 2 friends in Oregon, and RiverStone Adventures…read morewas fantastic! Dan (the owner) arranged an "off the books" trip for us when other rafting companies would not, because of the time of year (October). Our guides Lauren and Greg were awesome -- Lauren was our in-boat guide, and Greg was our host who went ahead and set up camp for us. Everything was spectacular, and the food was amazing! We even had fresh-caught tuna for one of the meals, as well as delicious steak for dinner and eggs and bacon for breakfast. I was joking with my buddies that the food we had while camping was better than the meals we'd had in town the days before and after! A truly inspiring experience, I highly recommend camping overnight at least one day to really get to see the dark skies at night and take your time. There was also enough splash and rapids (only class 2-3) to make it fun without being too intense for those afraid of water or with little experience.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! We rafted the Deschutes yesterday with Travis as our guide. Here is my take:…read more 1. Trip Organization: These folks have it dialed in from start to finish. They did everything to make this trip a memorable experience. All you need to do is make sure you follow their advice on what to bring with you such as water and sunscreen; simple and straightforward. A 2. Understanding the customer: Travis was very much attuned to how much "adventure" we wanted as a group. This was the first time rafting for several of us. Travis was great; he knew just the right amount of white water we could handle. A+ 3. The River: Holy smokes is it beautiful. A+++++ 4. Other: Travis is a wealth of knowledge. Not only do you get the white water experience but you also get his incredibly informative insights into the geology of the area, the history of the town and his keen eye to identifying all the wildlife on the river. A++ Rafting the Deschutes was a fantastic experience made all the more wonderful by the folks at River Stone Adventures.

Nate and his crew provided our group with an exceptional four days of river bliss…read more Safety, comfort, and creating lasting memories clearly drive his mission. From the start, Nate was upfront about river safety, setting a clear expectation that all party members listen and work cooperatively to minimize risks. I deeply appreciated this transparency; the guidelines were minimal, easy to follow, and kept everyone secure without taking away from the experience. Every minute of the trip was centered on our enjoyment. The itinerary was excellent--we stopped often at unique, beautiful spots to stretch our legs, swim, relax on beaches, fish, and take short hikes. Camp was highly comfortable, and the meals were an absolute highlight. The crew treated us to exceptional food and drink, including cocktails, appetizers, restaurant-quality entrees, and even desserts. Highly recommend Nate and his crew for an unforgettable adventure.

UPDATE -- August 9th: We still cannot use the boat…read more The part needed for the repair was delivered five days ago, yet AWS says they cannot send a technician because all of their technicians are busy. Given that we purchased a brand-new boat that has been completely unusable since the day we picked it up, I would have expected this repair to be treated as a priority. Instead, the current plan is apparently to have a technician assist remotely. Unfortunately, that technician is on vacation and will not be available until Tuesday of next week. If the repair is successful at that point, we will have lost nearly two months of the prime summer boating season waiting for a brand-new boat to be made usable. Problems can happen with any product, and I understand that. What has made this experience so disappointing is the communication and apparent lack of urgency after the problem was discovered. Weeks have gone by, emails have gone unanswered, promised information was not been provided, and even after the necessary part arrived, we are still waiting. At this point, we are extremely unhappy with both this purchase and our overall experience with AWS. What should have been an exciting first summer with our new boat has instead been nearly two months of frustration while the boat has sat unused. I have requested a conversation with the owner of Redmond AWS several times but they have not yet reached out - I must say this is very disappointing customer service.

I told Tony himself and before I could finish my sentence I was told (EXACT WORDS) "Well come pick your fucking boat up out of my shop then, I buy my own parts!" I wanted him to help me out still but after the abrupt cut off and rude lip I decided to take my business elsewhere. Seems he wants to make a bit on the top and not help out the locals.
