adventure sports rafting company

7 of us had the best day rafting the Hudson Gorge. Our guide, Ted was professional, fun, and made us feel safe, even in the "scarey" moments. A great trip for friends and family of nearly all ages. Summer time has warm water and good water volume. Plus the dinner at the end really hit the spot. Only area for improvement is the lunch; could be a bit more substantial. I'd highly recommend for a full day of fun and excitement.

We were a group of eight who took up rafting here with Adventure Sports Rafting.We were routed to this company via Hudson River rafting.As the website says they are in deed a very good professional rafting company. It is evident in their whole approach towards business.First of all : Getting there was pretty easy just that we need to make sure the gps address point you the right place as highway 28 has quite a lot of rafting places and it is easy to get confused.Timing: Just make sure you are in there around 9 AM makes it a lot easier for you get ready and have a little chat with the guides about how it is going to be. .especially if it is your first time..Guides: They were really good. they are well co-ordinated and very skillful. Ted was our guide and he seemed to be the GURU of the gang. Rafting : Well it is a 17 miles long rafting.. So make sure you have lot of energy. It was well guided especially considering we were totally out of sync for the first 15 or so minutes.. Ted seemed to be taking care of the entire group of guides not just with this company but for all other as well!!!.. The water temperature was apt. We visited in the month of july. I would say not many people were there as i expected.. View : Some of the view during the trip was breath taking, i bet it would be great during the fall.Rapids : the initial set of rapids were exciting as always. there are certain times where it is plain calm river, you can rest during that time. i would say you would be occupied 70 % of the time. the guide takes care of the rest. Steering and control was excellent and he lets us swim at a few places... and we tried the surfing-like experience as well. You can jump off a rock if you wish. The last 2 miles are just plain calm waters. we tried to make it interesting by having a race with others.. Dont strain yourself too much with that..Safety : I would they the guides are well equipped and they look upon each other well. they seem to have very good experience and the waters are not dangerous at all. It is perfectly safe and if you have any apprehension like us dont worry it is all good. Summer trips are in general seem to be safer than the spring ones. The river levels are low and there is more control.Snack and food : We stopped in the river for a juice psck and some chocolates. I suggest you take some snack with you and give it ot the guides to have in the dry bag. And make sure you eat real good before you start. You can also carry a water bottle. Just give it to the guide.Lunch is after the trip. A barbecue. Pretty decent.to take : Water bottles, sunscreen for summer, some amount of snacks if you wish. keep it light.of course extra set of clothes and towels. you can rent their bathing suits and shoes if you wish 5$ per thing. the photos taken were really good (from what was displayed in their TV). You can order it for 40$. The cd will be mailed to your address.Overall experience : Fantastic and completely satisfied.

Our extended family has done this company's white water rafting trip for 3-4 years in a row now and each year is as good or better than the year before. The guides are awesome. Just an hour outside of Lake George - this is a truly thrilling experience - it's wet and it's wild !!

Great operation - professionally run, friendly, and they made sure the day was fun. Mid-trip snack can be improved, but the barbecue at the end of the trip was super. I had a great time with my two sons. Stuck on rocks, had a chance to swim in the Hudson and the boys jumped off a very high rock (all very safely done!)
