Reviews

Three TripAdvisors give Los Rios River Runners four owl eyes:

• My husband and I had a great time on our rafting trip this summer. We chose the 1/2 day racecourse trip, which was a pretty easy for us, but was the only thing we could do in half a day. If we go back we'll definitely book a full day trip. Our guide, Bruce, was a great coach and was very knowledgable about the area. He gave us tips when we needed them and told us about different geological features as we went down the calmer parts of the river. – amywhite412
• River rafting was great! 1/2 day trip, Racecourse. We were a group of 4 adults and 4 teenagers. Because the water was low, Los Rios used 4 person rafts rather than the larger ones. I was a little concerned because it is later in the season and I knew the water level would be lower, but it was great fun. Our guide, Brian, was really great. Because the guides knew the teenagers were part of our group we had some great splashing fun. – MarchingMusic
