Redwood Rides

"Was a fantastic experience and so much fun! Did a half day whitewater trip in early March. We are true beginners in rafting and our guides made sure we were properly equipped and gave great instruction before we left shore. Water flow was good from recent rains and the class 3 rapids were a ton of fun for my family. Along with the incredible scenery, it was a perfect trip. Would definitely go with Redwood Rides again!"

"A full day of adventure without a hitch! We biked, hiked, kayaked, and more! And what felt like a great price too! Matthew, our guide, took us on the trip of a lifetime through the woods. We started with a bike ride for the morning along the river and into the forest. We got a quick hike along the way before heading down the riverside to enjoy sandwiches. Matt's suggestion to put Hummus on the sandwich did not disappoint. We then loaded up on the kayaks and headed down river and over a few class 1 rapids. It was easy paced but the headwind did force us to paddle a bit. We got another quick hike in and did some cliff diving (rock jumping but all the same) before making it to the final destination. They loaded us up and had us back to the cars in no time after getting back to the van. All in on our trip, it was about 6 hours, but also a bit of time for the transport on either end so 7 hours before we were back on the road again. #ChasingRyann"

"JOE IS INCREDIBLE!! If you’re not sure whether to book with them, don’t think twice and book a tour. We did the bike ride through the Redwood Titans and loved our time with Joe. He was early meeting and took time to know about us before the ride. During the ride, Joe spent thoroughly time talking about the Redwoods and saying all the secrets that the forest held. During the times we stopped to gaze at the trees, Joe would make sure to grab a clear photo of us. Overall Joe was really personal and made our bike ride incredible. The bikes also were very comfortable and rode great. No complaints!"

"Just do it! We did a half day kayak trip on the Smith River where it joins middle fork. The river is some of the prettiest water I've seen. It's very blue and clear. The redwoods surrounding it are beautiful. Lauren was our guide and was a ton of fun. We loved it so much we went again and took friends. Must do if you're in the area. We went April 29. It was wasn't cold at all. They provide wet suit, neoprene booties, splash jackets and fleece layers. These photos have not been edited."

"We had an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide, Joe, walked us through everything we needed to know beforehand. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He really helped my wife and daughter, who had never kayaked before. We did the 3-hour trip in the afternoon on the Smith River, and it was beautiful. For this trip, Redwood Rides provided all the necessary equipment that we needed, with the exception of our bathing suits. This trip was perfect for families with young kids. At the halfway point, we got out of our kayaks and walked into the Redwood Forest. It was beautiful."
