Mountain Descents

Everyone was very chill, and more than knowledgeable. Plenty of range for experience. Definitely a must try.

This was our first white water rafting we did the easy one I really enjoyed our raft captain "AMA" he is calm funny and experienced. We will def go again very fun adventure I encourage everyone to try it once, the one bad part was at the end carrying our rafts up to a spot to be rolled on a cart. I'm glad it was only like 74 degrees because if it was 100 out I don't think I could do it.

My friends and I planned a trip out to Yosemite Valley to enjoy some spring camping. Our reservation was canceled at the last minute due to flooding in the valley from melting snow. We were lucky enough to make camping reservations at Pine Flat Lake and were in the market for a white water rafting adventure. We came across Mountain Descents, and found their service to be exactly what we needed. Most of my group consisted of beginners; a few of us had gone once or twice before but were novices nonetheless. Our guides consisted of Amicaya and Ivan, in addition to a few other trainees / employees. Everyone was super friendly and did an excellent job preparing us for our excursion. With their excellent guidance, NOBODY FELL OUT OF THE BOAT; a little surprising, if you ask me. The tide was high and the waters were fierce at times, but we had an absolute freakin' blast with the team over at Mountain Descents. Highly recommend!

This was My group and mine first time rafting. We were really excited, but our instructor totally killed our spirit. We were ready to call it quits because of how condescending he was towards us. He was so rude and impatient with us. He screamed at us the first half of the ride. It was really embarrassing seeing how all the other rafts were looking at us. He would say things like look at me while I'm talking! Are you deaf?! Why are you not doing what I'm asking you to do! He would not give us time to react to the commands given. And would get so mad because we were not fast enough. We even told him to be patient with us because we were not messing up on purpose, but this was our first time. One of the other groups told him to stop screaming, that he was the only one screaming. After that he did calm down and started to encouraged us. We tried to end the trip on a good note. We would definitely want to go back. But not with this instructor. He made a really bad impression on us. He ruined our first time rafting experience. We all felt like scolded children at the end. As far as the rafting experience on the river, that was great.

What an enjoyable time! My partner and I did a family fun run. As it was my first time white water rafting, I was very excited and nervous. They stopped twice to give us the oppurtunity to swim and we had a little break in the middle of the trip. The staff here are great and very good at making you feel at ease.

Had a great day out with Mountain Descents, booked online, with no issues. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Trip was on time and had no issue the river is still running nice and high, so lots of fun.

First time rafting over memorial weekend and these guys made me feel safe! Super friendly, very communicative, super professional and fun. Highly recommend.

My family went rafting here yesterday. It was everyone's first time river rafting so we did the fun run! It was much more exciting than we anticipated. We had 4 adults and 2 kids 9 & 11 yrs old. We all had an amazing experience! Our guide was amazing and so was the kayaker! They gave us very thorough instructions before we headed out which I am grateful for. Our raft tipped on a rough part of the run and we all fell out which was a bit scary with the kiddos but we were all quickly rescued back into the boat due to them telling us what to do before hand and the quick action they took in getting us all back to the boat safely. The water was surprisingly refreshing! It gave us an INCREDIBLE story to look back on and the whole point is to have a bit of adventure and adrenaline going! Mission accomplished! It was the topic of our conversation for the rest of the evening and this morning. Highly recommend! Also want to note that every staff member was very kind and friendly too! Great group of people

I booked this as an extra thing to do on our trip to Sequoia National Park. It was a great start to our vacation and I 10/10 would do it again if I'm in the area. Everyone was super friendly starting with my questions over the phone to make me feel comfortable. Our guide, Mikayla, was super sweet and genuinely so. The family fun run was perfect for younger kids and maybe adults that don't want as wild of a ride. There were stops to enjoy the river and swim a bit as well. My only critique is that our boat had two adults and three children, not including the guide. The smallest child did not paddle, and the second youngest was not super effective. I think if we had another adult on board we would have not gotten stuck and run into trees as often. But, all was well in the end, and we stayed afloat. It's just something to keep in mind. An extra perk was the fantastic photographer that took some memorable candid shots so we could always remember our rafting trip. All in all, I would definitely return and recommend this business.

Guides were awesome! GREAT price! The family fun run was perfect for our family of 6 and our guide Crystal made the trip amazing. GREAT fun for the entire family. Awesome memories to end our trip.
