White Water Rafting Down Kern River

POSTED: 5:10 pm PDT July 1, 2009

Mountain River Adventures is one company in Kernville that offers white water rafting excursions.

Whether young or old, experienced or not, there’s an adventure for everyone.

And from an hour long outing to two day trips, there is also something for every bank account.

Owner John Stallone said, "There very affordable trips. I mean, one hour trips starting at $36, up to two day Lower Kern trips for $290, $390.”

And whether you opt for an hour or two day trip it will be packed with fun and adventure.

Stallone said, "It’s not Disneyland or Magic Mountain. It’s not on tracks, and things do happen, but sometimes, those are the fun things they remember about the trip.”

But don’t worry; you’ll be in safe hands as trained guides help you and your group challenge the rapids down the river.

Owner Rhonda Stallone said, "Families can get a sense of bonding and connection with each other and connection with nature which is really important. And with out fast pace world of technology and being on the Internet, this gives them a chance to just slow down and enjoy one another.”

If you think white water rafting just isn’t for you, you may want to think again.

John Stallone said he is sometimes surprised who gains a passion for white water rafting after their first trip.

“We have a lot of different groups, and we have senior groups and they’re like “ah, I don’t know if this is for me,' and then they get up here and are like 'I want to be a guide next year,’” said John Stallone.

For many first timers, the white water rafting trip proves to be an experience they won’t soon forget.

One young rafter said of his first time experience, "There’s like tons and tons of rapids, and it was really fun for my first time.”
