-
Whitewater Rafting is an outdoor recreation sport that typically takes place on an inflatable craft that moves down a river or creek generally known for being fast, shallow stretches of water.
-
Whitewater rafting, much like any sport, contains risk. The best way to mitigate that risk is to go out on the river with a professional that has experience in their field.
-
You do not need previous whitewater rafting experience to go on our raft trips. We do a pre-trip safety and instructional talk that explains everything you will need to know for our stretch of river.
-
This depends on the time of year! Typically wearing a bathing suit, shorts and a sun shirt or athletic wear is sufficient! You will also need shoes that will stay strapped or tied onto your feet while you are on the raft. We do offer wetsuits for rent if needed!
-
You will have a river professional, personal floatation device (PFD), shuttle to and from the river included in every trip. Helmets are not required for every trip, but always available.

It is required that you use our equipment. You must wear our PFD and you cannot wear your own while on a guided trip.

We have a 24 hour cancellation policy. As long as you cancel or rebook your trip within the 24 hour period before your trip then there is not a cancellation fee.
