Quotes from River Otter Clients
"What an awesome experience!! The staff at River Otter Adventures is second to none. They truly made our first rafting experience so much fun, that we'll be back next year!" Janet Canez, Dixon CA
"I had so much fun that I'm bringing my sisters and our sons next June! The experience was great...and the guides besides being absolutely fabulous are also GREAT cooks!” -- Donna Douglas, Pleasanton, CA
"The whole experience was incredible! We had a really great time. The guides were knowledgeable, professional and a lot of fun. Our guide, Forrest, was also very knowledgeable about the local history and pointed out several landmarks of interest along the river. All of the guides were helpful, set up a great campsite and really took care of everything. Although we felt like we should be pitching in to help, none of the guides would hear of it! The food was well thought out and wonderful!" -- Tracy Charles, San Pedro, CA
"RIVER OTTERS ROCKS!!!!!! Thanks for a once in a lifetime weekend. What a great family adventure. The scenery was spectacular, the water beautiful and the food and camaraderie around the campfire made everything perfect. The decision in our family is unanimous…”River Otters Rock.” Thanks again for everything…for the thrills…and spills… and laughter…and for being such professionals." Paul Elliott and family, Los Angeles, CA
“Mick and his staff were AMAZING! From the day I started planning this weekend adventure, Mick was there for me. No matter how many questions I had he answered them all…and being our first whitewater rafting trip…we had a lot of questions!
When we actually arrived for our adventure Mick put us all at ease with his incredible knowledge of the river…and we soon found out that extended to his fantastic river guides, Karen, Jimmy & Forrest. After a weekend of each one of them guiding us carefully through challenging rapids, entertaining us with river stories and water fights, feeding us fabulous meals and even helping us set up our tents…we were permanently bonded! River Otter Adventures is part of our family now! We can’t wait for next year!” -- Paula Sherron, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
“Your guides truly cared about us.
