Couldn't have asked for a better rafting adventure--highly recommend Sierra Whitewater!

I was a little unsure at first since I've never done anything like this before, even though we signed up for Class 1-2 beginner level. But from the very beginning, everything felt safe, organized, and welcoming. The girls who greeted us at the meeting point started with humor and easy conversation, which immediately helped me relax. The trip began exactly on time, and our guide, Owen, explained everything in a clear, simple way that made us feel confident. The rafting itself was fun, exciting, and such an interesting way to spend the day together as a family. After the trip, we had lunch, and the owner himself was serving food -- so friendly, warm, and genuinely caring. I felt very welcomed, and everything was set up professionally with great attention to customer comfort and safety, just like many other guests mention in their reviews . We enjoyed this adventure so much that next time we're ready for Class 4 -- that's for sure! Thank you, Sierra Whitewater, for an unforgettable day!

We started first thing in the morning at 10am, so we were able to enjoy the Delta breeze before the heat of the afternoon arrived. Prior to arriving, we made a reservation online: we requested the time and date we wanted to kayak two days prior to our actual date, put a $25 deposit down, and also noted that we wanted to pick blackberries (the website says blackberries are in season from now 'til end of August-ish). Upon arrival, we turned into the wrong area -- look for the tiki-looking hit floating next to the Lighthouse Bar & Grill! We caught onto the mechanics of kayaking fairly quick for absolute beginners -- the still waters in the route she gave us did help -- and spent a lot of time maneuvering to get the kayak close enough to the blackberry vines. To protect your hands further, bring gloves. Suzie gave us a drawn map of where to kayak for the blackberries and, if we had enough time aside from picking, to kayak to a private beach area of some sort. We didn't have enough time, but I'd highly consider renting for 3 hours instead for more time to enjoy the Delta, pick, and make it to the beach and back. You can also bring a sandwich or lunch if you make it to the beach area or take a break in the more still waters, just pack it in a waterproof container. Suzie was sweet and very helpful for us newbies -- we also called her when we made a wrong turn to clarify that we were in the right area. Will happily come back again to rent from Suzie!

The last time we rafted Middle Fork American was on a cold, gloomy, drizzling day in October 2019 - so we had to give it another go in warmer weather. This time around was just as memorable. Two of us in the boat ended up falling out in the water at Tunnel Chute, which happened so fast that I barely knew what had happened - thankfully, there was a nice calmer stretch of water right after through the river tunnel, so we were easily able to get back into the raft. (Thank you to our guide, Troy, for hauling me back in, and for being an awesome guide in general!) Plus this was one of the photographer spots, so the action was all captured for us to laugh about later. Later, after our tasty sandwich picnic lunch, we had a few unexpected events happen, starting from the portage down Ruck-a-Chucky Falls. Shout-out to all three guides in our group - Troy, Shea, and AJ - for handling things so calmly and getting us all back where we were supposed to be! We had plenty of calm stretches floating down the river as well. The canyon is beautiful and quite peaceful. We saw a ton of dragonflies flying above our heads, masked ducks chilling on rocks and diving underwater, and wild grapes and blackberries growing alongside the river. We'll be back again for another trip with All-Outdoors! Maybe we'll try a 2-day or 3-day trip next time.
