Guest Letters & Trip Feedback

Feedback from an Eric P. of Healdburd, CA. Eric rafted the Merced River with his two sons.

Brian, Ethan, and I had another wonderful trip on the Merced. I cannot say enough about our guide Lindsey. If I return to the Merced again, it will be partly in hopes of spending more time on the river with this professional and fun person. She made my youngests son’s trip unforgettable. She is a great representative to All Outdoors and you should feel lucky to have her on your team. You cannot help but feel happy when you are around her. I will probably return again to the Merced providing my two sons don’t lose interest in their old man. If I do, I will be booking with AO and hope to see Lindsey again on the river.

Best regards,

Eric Petereit

Feedback from a husband and wife from Alameda who joined us on a 1-Day Merced River rafting trip…

Hello Lenka,

My husband & I absolutely loved the rafting trip on the Merced river and we cannot wait for our next trip on Tuolumne river. On the Merced river trip last Sunday, the weather was warm yet not hot or too breezy. The trip was well organized and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The selection of lunch food was suprisingly good: high quality meats, whole grain bread, vegetables, fruits.

We are raving about our experience to friends and family.

Heres a great piece of guest feedback from the Merced River.. kudos to veteran guide Joe Marshall.

Hi Lenka,

Our group rafting trip was very exciting. We had a really nice time, couldn’t have asked for better circumstances. The weather was a perfect 75 degrees with little to no cloud cover. Both guides were fantastic. We got along with the other boat as well. The lunch was really good. It definitely hit the spot mid day.

Our guide Joe was great. He is very knowledgable of the river and orchestrated the greatest ride my group has experienced to date. It’s been two days and we can’t stop talking about the ride down split rock and the adrenalin we fealt. Joe was able to guide us to position the raft within centimeters of large rocks, thus maximizing the thrill and wave factors. My group liked him so much that we would like to request him as our guide for our next trip. Nobody fell in, but that just meant he instructed us well enough to keep us on our feet and off our backs.

To give you a heads up, I will be getting back to you AO in January about a two day trip on the Tuolumne for June 09 and would like to request Joe Marshall as our guide for that trip.
