Guided Whitewater Adventures in California

Lotus, California Rafting

Active Adventure

whitewater rafting on Class II - IV rivers in California. Great for any skill or adventure level enthusiast. Whether you're a first timer or an adrenaline lover you will be sure to have a great time.

Typical Day

You meet us at a designated location and time for your trip. The guests are check in, geared up and then shuttled off to the put-in. After rafting for a time, we stop for a plentiful and delicious deli-style lunch including our fresh baked cookies. After satisfying your appetite we load up back into the rafts and continue the adventure down the river. At take-out, the gear is loaded up and we shuttled the guests back to the meeting place and hope to see you again! (If you are on a 2-day trip, dinner, camp, breakfast and another day of rafting would follow.)

We welcome singles, families, friends, businesses, churches, schools, bachelor, bachelorette parties and other activity groups. If you are between the ages of 8 and 80, we have something for you! Make sure you check out our discounts below.

We would be happy to help with your selection.

Restrictions

We do not allow pets or smoking on the rafts as it is a safety issue. Our trips take up a good portion of the day, so it might be a good idea to not bring pets.
