Had an awesome experience on our Kayak Ducky trip! We booked a trip over the holiday weekend and were able to snag the last spot- which ended up being lucky for us- it was amazing! Upon check in all staff members were wearing masks and directing customers to ensure proper social distancing. The staff also made sure everyone was wearing a mask until we were off the bus at the river, and then still appropriately spaced us. We received a very organized and instructive check in experience and we were off! The spacing on the bus allowed for great social distancing, and the driver and guide were fun the entire ride. We went out on the kayaks with our guide Linda who was just awesome. A great mix of informative, helpful, safe and fun. Linda honestly made the entire trip worth it- we were hesitant about the inflatable kayaks, with not a lot of prior experience, but she made sure we knew what we were doing and had an awesome time.

Thanks for taking a moment to write this show of support for Wild Waters Outdoor Center and our Kayak Ducky trip, Sara. I'm pleased you enjoyed the variety this trip offers and had fun on the river once you gained confidence on the inflatable kayaks with Linda's expert guidance. I appreciate your mentioning what the safety precautions and distancing was like so that our customers can enjoy the bus and waters safely. Hope we will have you back for another adventure soon!
Take care,

What a great experience for our family! During these crazy Covid times, the organization and cleanliness exceeded my expectations. My husband and I were very impressed with how smoothly instructions were given throughout our experience. The process of gathering the different groups of rafters and getting them fitted for PFD's, then loaded and unloaded on the buses was perfectly streamlined. We both felt safety was a top priority. When coupled with the personality plus guides on the bus and leading our raft, the trip was a great success. Aiden was our guide and provided plenty of humor, great conversation and just the right amount of water fun for our family.
A couple days later we went to another company for lazy river tubing (a service not provided by Wild Waters) and the lack of organization and lackluster attention to Covid guidelines was extremely disappointing in comparison. We almost booked our rafting excursion with this competitor, but were so glad we didn't — we really dodged a bullet! I couldn't recommend Wild Waters Outdoor Center more.

THIS is exactly the experience you hope to have when you think of going white water rafting for the first time! We are sooooooo happy that we chose WWOC out of all the other companies in the area. We really feel we got most bang for our buck by choosing the 17 mile trip with them. The views on the river were AMAZING!! The rapids, so much FUN!! Our guide, Andy, so knowledgeable and experienced on the Hudson. We felt extremely safe as he spun us around, swim in the river, let us jump off huge rocks, and also let us "crash" into some too. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience and have been recommending them to anyone that will listen (lol). I truly already feel sorry for any other company that tries to compete as they've already set the bar really high for our expectations. This was easily decided to be our new must do summertime activity; every summer from here on.

A++ experience with WW Outdoor Center rafting on the Hudson river (7/15) with my wife and kids (14 & 18). Our guide Tim was the best, kept us safe, talked Marvel universe and Star Wars, told best foot loose story ever as we raced down the river (which was running unusually high for the summer). The entire experience from parking, checking in, gearing up, and bus trip to River was all perfectly organized and sensitive to Covid incorporating social distancing & masks where needed.
Recommend this trip to everyone, it was our best day while vacationing in the Adirondacks!

Had a private raft with seven, nine year old, and two adults. The entire process was very efficient- online waivers, getting equipment, bus ride to the starting point and back. The staff was very kind to wait for us as we had a flat tire minutes before reaching the center. Water was pretty warm despite chilly September nights (we were told the damb releases the top layers of water daily from the lake). Maddie was our guide, she gave clear instructions and answered all kids’ questions, all of us absolutely loved it.

First white water rafting experience and without a doubt Wild Waters Outdoor made it exciting and memorable. We booked a private 2 hour trip for 11 of us and the price was unbeatable, not to mention the ease of booking and checking in online.
Our tour guide James was the best, he made sure we got WET. His experience, kindness and good natured professionalism really made our trip enjoyable.

Went on a private raft with 4 other friends. The bus ride to the rafting site was hilarious and fun with the guide cracking jokes and giving great safety instructions. Our guide, Miles, was amazing and everyone had a blast rafting with him. He took us through many great rapids, enough to fill our entire raft with water (still buoyant even when completely filled). It took 3 additional people to empty the raft. It was so much fun and memorable, the highlight of our trip to Lake George. I cannot wait to do more rafting in the future. Thank you again Miles!

Brent was our adventure guide !! We had an amazing day and it couldn’t have been more fun.. minus the slip outta the raft 😂.. it was as informative & educational as it was fun! Thank you for the memories
Only reason for 4 ⭐️ is because it was a bit difficult carrying the raft with young children and older adults
Highly recommend

We took our first white water rafting trip. Our guide was Winslow and she was excellent at steering the raft while keeping us entertain with stories about the lake. Would definitely recommend this trip and ask for Winslow.

This was an amazing experience. Great thing to do with children. We (myself and 2 teenage children) did the 17-mile white water rafting trip along the Indian and Hudson Rivers. It was an amazing experience and my children couldn’t help but talk about it ever since. It was well planned, organized and our guide (Cal-from Philadelphia) was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, experienced and personable. He made the experience great. This is an exceptional company with knowledgeable and skilled people.
I recommend this company and the trip to anyone who wants to experience white water rafting.
