We were with a large group of 28 people wanting to raft together on the 4th of July long weekend, so we did our research on all the local companies that offered South Fork 1/2 day tours. WET was the most accommodating, friendly, professional, and the best-priced in making the upfront arrangements. We were even camping at the American River Resort which claims to have the largest, most established rafting operation there, but after trying to deal with their team we decided it would be worth forgoing the convenience of leaving from our camp to go with WET. We could not have been happier that we did. Especially since we had other issues with ARR, from the camping perspective (I highly recommend reading the reviews of the actual campground and not just the rafting tours before camping there). Next time I’d go with Camp Lotus where WET is based, but not stay in their section and make our own camping arrangements.
WET’s great service did not lag on the day of arrival. All four of our rafts (groups of 7-8) had a thrilling experience, and none of us could stop gushing about our guides. They were simply awesome. Clearly pros, with great instruction for any novice.
These reviews are consistent for a reason. I will not go to another company on such a trip to the American River.
