Our trips are fully outfitted - include all of your camping gear and meals and will have your vehicle shuttled to the take-out during the trip. You’ll spend one night under the stars in a comfortable riverside camp, where the guides prepare gourmet meals served on full-sized banquet tables with a selection of fine wines.

What's it like?
Each day the guides will have coffee on between 6:30 am and 7:00 am and breakfast is served at 8:00 am. We start packing up at 9:00 am and try to be on the river by 10:00 am. Each day on the river is different and actual activities are chosen according to the general interests of the group. There are a wide variety of short hikes, swimming holes on side creeks, historic sites and places of interest to linger. You’ll also have the opportunity to move from raft to raft, relaxing in the oar raft, joining a crew in a paddle raft or going solo in an inflatable kayak. Learn more about the Types of Rafts.
