    I’ve been going on rafting trips with RER for a few years now and it’s always one of my favorite memories of summer. The staff is great and they always make you feel safe and welcome. I love seeing the photos of us going down the river year after year! It will be something I continue to do every year and it’s worth every penny.

    River's End Rafting is an amazing experience! Our guide Olivia was great at explaining the instructions, and keeping the trip exciting. None of our group had been rafting before, but it was very accessible to beginners, we never felt under prepared. The day we went the water level was high enough, but not too high that we could get out of the raft and swim for some parts of the trip. Again thanks to Olivia for being such a fantastic guide and making the experience more fun for all of us!

    Always a great time with the RER crew! They are welcoming, fun and very knowledgeable about the river and Bakersfield area. I love purchasing the Splash Pass because it never expires and it's at a discounted rate. My hubby and I love visiting every summer and this is definitely a highlight! Remember to tip your crew member!!!

    This was our first time river rafting and the experience was amazing! The staff and guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide Tommy was great and made sure we were safe and made the rafting exciting. The rapids itself were on the calmer side but we got plenty wet with all the splash fights we had with the other rafting groups.! There was even a couple of sections where you could get out of the boat and swim and float down the river! I would highly recommend this company.

    Had an amazing time as did my 9 and 10 year old boys....very friendly and helpful guides (Evan) especially! It was my first time going down the river and i was apprehensive to say the least but the whole operation at rivers end rafting makes it a truly stress free and fun day for the whole family! We can't wait to go back!

  • 5/5 bree w. 8 months ago on Google
    I've been four times, when the river is low and high, and each time it's been so much fun! If you have ever wanted to go river rafting this is an awesome experience, especially for first timers. Everyone so helpful and nice, good outdoor fun. I only wish it would last longer.

    Great crew! Loved our experience with the agency and leaders of our boats! High excitement, positive vibes and super friendly ! Definitely recommend it!

    Wish it were a longer rafting trip. That's how good the guides were, the game was, the water immersion & rafting fun were. Exhilarating. Didn't feel at all like 3.5 miles... Wish they gave the option of buying individual photos; $50 for the package is a bit steep.

  • 5/5 Diana P. 7 months ago on Google
    Awesome experience! Given the water levels, we went down fast. Wish it were longer, but overall, would totally do again. Great for beginners and/or families.

  • 5/5 Joya B. 8 months ago on Google
    I have been there 5 times, it's always a pleasure, ...the staff is great, loads of fun on the ride, but they can use an upgrade to the facilities bathrooms and dressing rooms and please add more, at least 6 of each and ur 5*
