Friendly, knowledgeable, affordable and FLAT OUT FUN! Mo was our guide and she was amazing. Strong, smart, funny, knowledgeable about the Adirondacks, rafting and skiing. Beautiful weather, scenery and water. We got to really dig in and do some work and just float and swim. Exhilarating day outing. Can't wait to do it again next Spring.

Our tour guide was Thomas and can’t say enough how knowledgeable he was regards the river, he knew the spots and plus we never got stuck. So if you are booking trip get him. Equipment and liners items were in good condition. Overall A+

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st time rafting with Adirondack Rafting Co. Our guides (Brad & Mac) made sure the rafting experience memorable and enjoyable. There were very friendly and helpful throughout the ride. Highly recommend this place for rafting experience.

Everything about this experience was great for me and my family. The Hudson River Gorge in summer is amazing - the rapids are a ton of fun, but not so wild that it's scary and unsafe for the younger kids (we had an 11yo and a 9yo among the riders in our boat). Our guide was awesome - almost two decades of experience, very competent and serious about safety, yet still able to relax with us and help everyone have a great time. I would absolutely use these folks again for another trip.

Fun and exciting day What great day. We had never been rafting before. What an exiting time and great fun. I would recommend this. We had our whole family in one raft ages 11 to 68. Well worth the money. Our guide Pat was very informative and fun. Would do this again. The whole day was amazing.

Amazing adventure We had an awesome rafting trip, lucky for us it rained a lot prior so the water was way above normal which made pristine conditions. The staff and crew were excellent and very knowledgeable on all fronts. If I ever go again it will definitely be in the spring to get the high water levels again. Great experience, thank you The Milette party of 16 😊 loved by all!!

Best Rafting in the Northeast. The river here is perfect and exciting for rafting with wilderness can only be seen from the river. Adirondac Rafting Co has some of the best guides and made it so easy and feeling safe for sure. The first leg on the Indian River is a thrilling start with mostly 3's and then occasional 4, even in August! Then joining the Hudson with many sections that are challenging and fun. This section of the wilderness can only be seen from the river and there are relaxed sections where you can look around and it is breathtaking. And you are on the river 6 hours, which is perfect to experience all the thrills and beauty. Our guide Ed was amazing, and even gave our 18 year old a lesson in reading the river (which was so special since this was a going away trip before college) Unforgettable. Hope to come back next year.

Rollin on the River Had a great day on the Indian and Hudson Rivers. The Rafferty’s run a very efficient and friendly operation. From reservations, check in, instructions and put in and put out. Our guide Greg was real knowledgeable and helped point out how to read the River. The start at Indian River is only a couple minutes from ARC, and the bus ride back did not take more than 20 minutes or so. Would definitely book again with ARC if back in the area. We were staying in Lake Placid so it took 1.5 hr of scenic driving to get there. Was worth the drive.

Highly recommended Highly recomemnd this company for whitewater rafting on the Indian river & hudson gorge Freindly & proffessional staff. This is a 15 mile trip which takes about 5 hours (we got into teh river at 10am and out at 2:45pm), very good value for the cost of the trip. This is a family owned business and the owner Brad was very good in provideing us information leading to the trip and during the trip. Would definitly go again for a rafting trip with this company.

Favorite Experience to Date Adirondack Rafting Company gave my family of six one of our favorite activities of our lives. Our guide, Mak was absolutely phenomenal; teaching us rafting skills, challenging us in an amazing way, teaching us about the area and river, making this a day we will never forget. If you want a confident, fun, reputable whitewater rafting experience you need to come here! We made our way from Michigan and it was absolutely worth it!

Great Company, great staff, outstanding experience This was an amazing adventure for our family that will remain in the forefront of memories for the foreseeable future! The staff at the adirondak Rafting Company was amazing. As soon as we walked into their business we were greated by Laura and Brad who were very helpful, outgoing and friendly. Once out on the water, our guide, Dan, did a perfect job navigating the river while accurately gauging my family's level of enthusiasm and fear giving us the perfect personalized rafting experience. In my family's opinion, the Adirondak Rafting Company is second to none and we'll add this to our annual list of activities for years to come.

Just do it! Fun, fun,fun. Suitable for all ages. Guide Bob was fabulous, lots of local info, clearly he loves the area. Felt very safe. Water not cold at end June yet we rented the wet suit shirt, probably would have been fine without but glad they had. Absolutely would do again.

Had a blast with Russ and the rest of the passengers aboard our Thursday white water rafting adventure down the Indian and Hudson Rivers. For 15 miles our raft of 7 plus Russ did a great job of guiding our boat through the rapids safely. Seriously, Adirondac does an excellent job and for $90/person it s a steal of a deal! We met at 9am, on the water by about 10am, lunch is provided, and you get off tbe water by about 3pm. They even stop at a big rock in the middle of the river that you can jump off of for no additional cost! If you're in the Adirondacks and looking for some river adventures, you gotta check out Adirondac Rafting Co!

We had an absolute blast! Our guide Jack kept us laughing the entire time. This experience is definitely worth every penny. If we are ever in the area again I'd love to go again. Highly recommend!!

To say that I had a fantastic time out on the water is an understatement. The staff is well organized, courteous, and highly professional. Our guide, Sandy, made everyone feel at ease and in good hands. She ensured at the very beginning of the trip that we all knew how to work together and knew how to be as safe as possible in the raft. She's well versed in guide tales, true and untrue, which provided us with lots of laughter. One of the parts that I appreciated was her ability to approach a challenging part of the route in a way where we didn't realize how tricky it was. I will add that about halfway through the day when we were mixed in with other companies the professionalism of all the ARC staff became highly apparent. A couple guides from other companies were not very courteous and quite rude, but ARC guides did everything they could to make sure customers felt safe and had a good time. I highly recommend this company.

Our group of seven had an AMAZING time with our guide Dan. It was a long trip filled with great stories, adventure and consistent laughter. We were a hyper group looking to have fun and Dan went out of his way to provide that experience. If you are looking for a place in the area to go rafting this is the place to go!! Thank you for such an unforgettable day!!

Oh man, we really had a blast on our trip down the river yesterday with Brad! Took our kids and gave them an experience of a lifetime...they haven't stopped talking about it!! Plus they rent GoPros and get them all set up for you to document the awesome sauce. Felt safe the whole time yet the adrenaline was pumping for sure! Our guide was amazing and the entire experience was seriously top notch. Literally everyone we came into contact with who was working for them was approachable, fun, and knowledgeable. Would HIGHLY recommend Adirondac Rafting Company to any parent looking to have fun as an entire family. Thanks for everything guys!

We used Adirondac Rafting Co. for a birthday trip with a group of friends and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves anymore! The weather was perfect. Our guide Dan was hilarious and very knowledgeable of the river and history of the area. From the rock jumping, river swimming, and rafting it was 17 miles of pure excitement. My face hurt from so much smiling. I would highly recommend renting the GoPro. We split the cost of it and have some great footage of our expert rafting skills. We can't wait to visit again!!!

Once a year, I get together with a few friends to go rafting. This past week, we did our 3rd trip with Adirondack Rafting and it was so much fun as usual! I always enjoy the amazing views, rock jump, swimming in the river, and of course: the intense rapids! The guides are very knowledgeable and they make the trip down the rivers fun, safe, and exciting! The rafts and other equipment provided are excellent as well. They have GoPro rentals available which can be mounted to the raft or helmets. There is also a photographer that takes photos of the whole raft and can be purchased later from their website. Looking forward to next years trip, which will be our 4th visit!

Had such a great time! Our instructor was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. It was absolutely worth the price. If you go during a colder time (May) you'll have to rent a wet suit for an extra $10 per person but it definitely came in handy as we didnt get cold at all. A great company to try white water rafting with.

Truly a first class professional organization!!! My entire family really enjoyed the experience, from the moment we checked in, to the end of our 6 hour excursion. Our guide, Carrie was outstanding, consistently insuring that we felt empowered, safe and were having a good time. The execution was fantastic, they really care about their customers. Although there are other rafting choices, I felt we made the best possible choice when we selected Adirondac Rafting. No doubt we will be back!!
