Incredible outfit. Wealth of knowledge and experience. Professional, safe and super fun. Trip of a lifetime down cherry creek and tuolomne. AO and their crew pulled it off without a hitch. Highly recommended.

I'm on my way back to LA from a fantastic weekend on the river. It had been a long time since going rafting so I was a bit nervous. The staff are all pros and made us feel safe and in control. Our guide, Horse, was an expert on hydrology, geology and local flora/fauna and would keep us informed on historical points of interest along the river. He had a great sense of humor and a chill personality. All of the guides - Mikey, Tyler, Adam, Joe, Shotgun - were really awesome. The food was really good. We had sandwiches for lunch the first day, chicken and pasta that night and chicken burritos for lunch on the second day. Overall, I would highly recommend rafting the Tuolumne river with All-Outdoors.

Great company to use for white water rafting. The staff are professional and they work hard. Our guide, Kelsea was fun and kept us safe. The food that the team prepare for breakfast, lunch and dinner is quite amazing. This trip is worth every penny. The whole group of 20 never fell out of their rafts, which proves that All Outdoors will keep you safe with their experience and knowledge.

Had a fantastic trip with Drew and Kelsey. A fun run of rapids, delicious food, and fun company. This was my second trip with AO and I'm looking forward to my next one.

I just got off the phone from the owner because emergency came up on our end. He was incredibly nice and communicated well regarding cancellation policy. I am set on going for the trip, but, as life would have it, things just fall apart sometimes. But, (I believe he said his name is Scott), thank God for people like Scott. He was professional, talked me through possible options, all without being upset at a customer. So, even if we don't end up going on our trip, I just wanted to leave a comment to praise this company for their customer service. Thank you, Scott!

Me and 11 of my buddies were on a bachelor party trip down the Tulumnoe river. The overnight experience was amazing. All the staff are outstanding as well as the food and amenities. Horse was the favorite guide. I could not believe how knowledgeable he was about the geography geology and local history.It would be impossible to say there was anything to complain about this trip. You paddle with paddles. You row with oars....

Our group had a blast with AO Rafting and would highly recommend to anyone considering the adventure. Scott and the crew were organized, efficient and good natured; definitely a plus if this is your first time rafting or on a CA river. We had a group of three in a boat all to ourselves, and the best bi-lingual guide on the river in Enzo. It made the trip so much more special for my two Spanish-speaking companions to have the comfort and clarity of a guide who spoke their language. Thank you AO for all you do to get us on the river and to have time with our family and friends to make memories, be safe and have a hell of a lot of fun. Big props to Enzo again. Definitely would recommend and consider future trips with this company.

We signed up to raft the Tuolumne river as a 2 day trip for high adventure for our Boy Scout troop. The river was flowing swiftly due to the high snow season and current melting conditions. None of our group had gone whitewater rafting previously so we were all a bit anxious but very excited. We met Adam at the meeting location and he was very friendly and helpful, especially answering many newbie questions. After loading up the van we took a short trip down to the river launch point. There we meet our other guides, Kyle, Sage and Noah. They were all very friendly and made us all at ease. We went through a safety orientation and loaded up on the boats. Within a few minutes of practicing, we were ready to tackle our first rapids. It was an incredible experience going down the river in high water conditions. The guides helped us feel very safe and we worked well as a team. We got down the river quickly and had an incredible lunch on the river side. It was far better food than expected. Since it was the 2 day trip, we camped on the river side a bit further down. Again, the guides were friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. Dinner and breakfast were terrific. They also explained many things about the area, river, geology and the history of the settlers in the area. The next day, we traveled the rest of the river, had another great lunch and played some games in the lake while we waited for the vans to come pick us up. I highly recommend this company and adventure!

I was stuck in the woods for 2 full days with my kids when my car got disabled on a forrest road. We hiked for hours and hours starting at sun-up to avoid the heat. Just as the kids were starting to hit their limit, we saw a van. The van was towing rafts. When it got to us, the driver (later came to know him as Chris) pulled over and was psyched to see little ones hiking. We told him what happened and he offered us water and told us he'd give us a lift the rest of the way up after he dropped off the rafts. He did. He got us back to their station, called the ranger, offered to give me money so my kids could eat at the great bakery next door (because I forgot my wallet back at the car, typical). He let me call my ex-wife to her tremendous relief. Then he let me hitch a ride back down to the river with the rafting clients. What a great mix of people who were about to start a 2 day adventure. I happened to sit beside his 6th grade teacher who is an elite kayaker and told me Chris is one of the best kayakers he's ever met. They use Kayaks alongside the rafts to provide additional safety. I watched them all load up into the rafts and immediately have a great time in the river that had been making me fear for my and my kids' safety for the last 48 hours. Some folks fell off the rafts and they quickly and calmly got them back in. I'm going to return as a client. These are great people working a great river. You should go to the bakery next door and check out the pictures on the wall. All rafting action shots, looks amazing.

We just returned from a 2 day rafting trip with All-Outdoors. We took our 17 and two 20 year olds with us, and we had the time of our lives. I admit I was afraid some of the time, but it didn't take long to realize that Beth, our guide, had everything under control. It was fascinating to witness how well she could read the river and understand exactly what we needed to do in each situation. The food was amazing, and each of the guides were fun and entertaining. Well, almost all of them. Whatever you do, if Sam asks you if you want to hear a joke .... Say No! Just kidding.

Just came back to LA from a trip with AO. Did the three day down the Tuolomne River. It was the first time i went white water rafting. It was so much fun. Our guides, Noah, Joe and Ryan (aka horse) did a fantastic job keeping us alive and providing care of is. They feed you some fantanstic meals, take you on some awesome hikes and were cool people to hang out with for a few days. Joe guided our raft and he explained what we would have to do before each of the sections. The guides were very knowledgeable with the area and great with those rafts. I saw a few from the other guides from the other agencies make some questionable decisions when we watched them go through a difficult section. They also took us to all of the cool cliffs to jump off of into the water if that is your thing. Definately going to have to make another trip with AO in the near future.

As part 2 of me and my coworkers' little rafting vacation, we decided to do the one day trip with AO on the Tuolomne River. It was definitely the best river we have all rafted on thus far. The guides were efficient with check in, so we didn't wait too long to get started with the day. We took a windy road crammed in a bus to get down to the river, but it was as suspected. Conner drove us and gave us instructions, and he ended up being our raft guide for the day. He was very educated on the rapids and had great stories through out the day. We definitely enjoyed him and he made sure we had a great time on the river. Thank you again. A free lance photographer kayaked down the river with us to take various photos at different Rapids so you can always purchase those after if you please. They also provide a nice sandwich lunch which is always needed for a day of rafting. We are planning on doing Cherry Creek in a couple weeks ($50 off if you return the same season)!

Love, love, love, love, LOVE this rafting company. They have experienced, friendly guides, quality rafts and equipment and a great setup overall...if u book a rafting trip with this company get ready for a memorable experience. My husband and I have gone on three different trips with All Outdoor's- middle fork American river, Tuolumne river and the most recent being Kaweah river. The Kaweah river rafting experience We have had an exceptional time on every trip but Kaweah was my favorite one. It is very technical and has a variety of Class II, III, IV Rapids spread out through the entire 4 hour rafting trip, so you are on your toe's the entire day. Lunch Around mid day they stop at a restaurant for lunch. Food the restaurant has to offer is meh- mostly burgers and French fries. Usually on most other trips All Outdoors plans, we stop on an embankment where the guides proceed to make us fresh guacamole, bomb salsa and delicious sandwiches. However this river does not have any public land along its banks so the only option is to stop at a local burger joint for a burger and fries. It's not bad and u will be hungry enough to scarf the food down without hesitation. Safety Also, this was the first trip on which I fell out of the raft because I took too long to respond to the guides command to get down in the raft. Thanks to all the clear concise instruction given before each rapid on what to do if we were to fall out of the raft, I knew exactly what to do and did not panic. Guides all around were quick to provide me with instruction on where to swim to in order to safely get to shore and be picked up by my raft. Unique experience this river offers Also on this river there is a spot where there are some flat granite rocks where the guides bank the raft and allow individuals to slide down the rocks and get the feel of the river currents. It's pretty dang cool so don't be a sissy and make sure you slide down the rock! Payment Finally, we had a group of 9 people book this trip. My husband and I were the organizers. When we talked to All Outdoors about our party and the booking, they not only provided us with a discount but they also had it set up so each person punched in a code that added them to our reservation and allowed each individual to pay for their own rafting trip. Only downside of the trip They didn't have a professional photographer for this trip like the other rafting trips we've had with them. So unfortunately we did not get any photographs. So please make sure u plan ahead and buy a waterproof case for your phone or camera and take lots of pics. In conclusion Other than that, I'd like to give a quick shout out to All Outdoor's owners and river guides to thank you all for a wonderful experience.

Many companies offer similar trips but the guides made our 3-day trip a stand-out. Because of them I'll return to All-Outdoors over other companies.
