The Best Outdoor Fun Around

Testimonials

Brian

Ashland, OR

"What a blast!! Especially for a first timer. I'm quite impressed with the knowledge imparted to us about the local Native American tradition and folklore, the flora and fauna, and just the general knowledge of the river. The food was really tasty, well presented and abundant, not to mention the tablecloths and fresh flowers picked daily for the buffet table. Upon my return I waxed on to my wife, Debbie, about the trip. We've decided that we'd like to book a trip for next summer."

Jena Davis

"Being a veteran of many river trips I must say that I truly enjoyed your friendly family atmosphere, good well-kept equipment, beautiful river, great guides and your safety conscious."

Cathy Jones

Arcata, CA

"We’ve been rafting with other companies on the Trinity River and your trips are definitely the best we’ve experienced. The professionalism of the guides and confidence made our group feel safe and relaxed. Also, the food was so much better then baloney sandwiches we were expecting. Our lunch was displayed beautifully and tasted great! Thank you Redwoods & Rivers"

Susan B.

"We think a lot about our trip, kind of hard to forget!!! We definitely want to head back up your way again, perhaps with a group of friends. You are fortunate to enjoy such a beautiful piece of the planet up there and we want to soak it up as much as we can whenever we can. We can't wait to get the photos to put up on our web site and show the world our adventure."
