Water rafting in Tuolumne River

We had a spectacular time on the river with All Outdoors! We ran the Upper Chili Bar stretch of the South Fork American River, and it was an awesome mix of fun and relaxation. The weather was perfect, our guides were friendly, fun, and super knowledgeable, and the whole experience was incredibly well-organized from start to finish. I especially loved the upper stretch—it was great to jump right into some exciting class 3/3+ rapids, then enjoy a more mellow afternoon with class 1s and 2s after lunch. The balance was perfect. Huge thanks to the team for making everything so smooth. Communication was clear and timely the whole way through, and it really took the stress out of planning. We’ll definitely be back—I’m already thinking about doing the Middle Fork later this summer!

We went rafting on the south fork of the American River with AOR and had the perfect day. Joe was an excellent guide- friendly, great with our 8 year-old son, and could totally read the mood on the level of interaction our boat was craving and when we just wanted to listen to the water. After the trip, my son asked if we could go back again... two days later! We felt like we had the river to ourselves and were not at all jealous of the boats crammed with 8 strangers.

What an amazing trip we had. My friends arranged this trip to celebrate my 67th birthday. Our guide’s name was Izzy and she was amazing. She gave us thorough instructions throughout the paddle and was patient with us all.The class three rapids we went through was super exhilarating. You definitely get wet but we went on a day where it was over 100° so actually enjoyed it. I will definitely be doing this again.

I've been on a handful of trips with All Outdoors and they did not disappoint. So much fun! Cameron, our guide did a fantastic job keeping us entertained, informed and most importantly, he kept us in the boat. We rafted on a Tuesday, so we had the south fork (class III) to ourselves. Our party of 8 wasn't very hungry but Cameron gave us options of when and where we could eat. We chose to eat at the end and the sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Our next trip will likely be the Class IV-Tuolumne River.

Our extended family did a 2 day rafting trip with All-Outdoors and it was terrific! All of the staff are super friendly, professional and fun. Big shout out to Reese and Fred who were our guides. They handled the rapids perfectly even when us “paddlers” did not. The 2 includes camping overnight and Reese and Fred prepared an awesome dinner, appetizers and campfire brownies. Top notch! Breakfast was equally as good. We loved our rafting trip and recommend without reservation.
