A perfect super fun day on the river - thanks to the awesome staff of Whitewater Voyages!! My first time ever doing river rafting was a truly wonderful and memorable experience. Chase our guide, was awesome and so incredibly knowledgeable. Chris was another super experienced guide on a different raft that traveled along with us. He was super sweet and he even gave us tourist pointers to continue to enjoy our weekend there. We did the half-day lower Kern River trip and I can't wait to come back here next year and do a longer trip. When I first called the company to explore my options, Luther, the owner was super helpful and informative. I booked it right away and whenever I called to ask them some more questions Luliia was super kind, friendly and patient. I purchased photos of our river trip and they are all so good! I will treasure this memory and the photos help keep all the fun moments so fresh in my mind. So here's how it went: We met at their location (inside the Frandy Campground) to check in. Chase, our guide, does a short safety training, Then they fit you in a helmet and secure your life vests and then load you in a big van and drive about 20 minutes away to unload and board the raft. You can bring along your sunscreen and water, there is a secure bag inside the raft for you to put your belongings in. Polarized sunglasses really made my eyes more comfortable on the water. The water was a very nice comfortable temperature - not freezing as I thought it would be.
They stop a point where you can jump off this big boulder and swim in the river. The scenery is beautiful nature, slight cool breeze in parts, and very serene. If you do the day long trip, they provide lunch. If you do a 2-day trip, they provide dinner and breakfast as well. If you are still thinking about going - STOP - just GO!!! You will have a great time. I love this Whitewater Voyages company! I highly recommend them and can't wait to do it again!!
