Water rafting in Tuolumne River

Experience world class rapids!

Last updated: Jan 2024

  • Starting at $149 for a 1 day trip

Description

Your trip begins quickly in the Class IV boulder slalom of Rock Garden Rapid. The next four miles bring an onslaught of technical, intricate Class IV+ rapids with large hydraulics and immense boulders. Soon you'll reach Class IV+ Clavey Falls, a legendary rapid due to its sheer drop and intimidating hydraulics. After Clavey, the water mellows to an enjoyable Class II-III level, giving you an opportunity to look beyond the whitewater in front of you and take in the grace and beauty of the Tuolumne canyon. We'll stop for a delicious, well-earned riverside lunch on a relaxing beach. Back on the water, soon you'll be crashing and careening through more Class IV whitewater. Just when you're getting tired, we'll pull into take-out.

    We had an amazing time on our first whitewater rafting experience and glad we chose All-Outdoors! Guide Joe was great. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and confident. We were joined by two new guides, Kian and Aviv (I hope I got her name right). They were a fun addition to our boat and were great bonus guides! We did the South Fork upper section Chili Bar of the American River. The whole experience was so much fun and planning when we can go again!

    When decided to white-water rafting keep 3 things in mind. 1. SAFETY 2. communication 3. Value All Outdoors exceeds high rankings in all three. This year was our 6th annual trip. Yes! There is a reason we keep coming back year after year. They are the safest, the most communicative and biggest value on the river. All of the people we have take with us have reveled that this was absolutely 💯 life changing experience. Don't be afraid to try it. And of you are an experienced river dawn they have other options for you.

    This was our first rafting experience and we can't express how much we enjoyed it! We had an excellent guide Cameron keeping us safe but allowing tons of fun. We all laughed most of the trip and start cracking up as we see pictures of our splash downs. If you are debating about going I say go! It's so much fun!

    From the moment we arrived, All Outdoors Rafting exceeded every anticipation and expectation. Our guide, Cameron, was super knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled — pointing out every bend and turn and leading our group to a perfect raft day while keeping the energy high with all our group (we even made new friends during the whole trip!) The equipment was top-notch and the safety briefing gave us real confidence. If you’re on the fence, just book it. You won’t regret it!

    We love white water rafting with our guide Kate! She is very entertaining and really knows her stuff. You will feel safe in her hands.
