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.

“Our guides Cameron and Bobby couldn't have been more attentive to our safety and to us in general. They always wanted to make sure we were comfortable, and interested in us as people not just clients. They were fun and always up for after dinner card games or just shooting the breeze which always ended in laughter...They came in as guides and left as new friends...I will definitely be back!” - Laurane S. (Rogue River)
