Oregon Whitewater Rafting

Oregon whitewater rafting offers extraordinary single-day and multi-day river trips!

Whether you’re an experienced outdoor enthusiast or a family with kiddos, we’ve got a trip that meets your skill level, time commitment, and sense of adventure.

Oregon whitewater rafting offers an experience that positively influences people. Perhaps you’re wondering: ‘How can we make such a broad claim?’ By witnessing the responses of our guests, we KNOW that rare encounters in the natural world spark wonder, curiosity, and learning.

When was the last time you were stopped in your tracks? Were you looking up at a starry night sky? Did you pull off to the side of the road to witness a sunset or animal crossing? Whether we are seeing the ordinary that we fail to notice on a regular basis or experiencing an event so inconceivably vast, there is an extraordinary aliveness that is ignited.

Imagine for a moment that you are flying above the snowcapped volcanoes strung down the center of Oregon. There’s colorful dry land terrain to the east and lush verdant surroundings to the west. Flowing freely through rain forests of the Coast Range, conifer forests of the Cascade Mountains, and dry terrain east of the high peaks, are thousands of creeks and rivers. From the 15,000-foot view, these stunning landscapes fuel excitement for learning, adapting to unpredictable conditions, and chasing curiosity. These are the essential qualities of adventure!

You land with your personal belonging and adventurous spirit prepared to immerse yourself in the rhythm of nature. Your river guide has taken care of all the pre-trip logistics including campsite selection, meal planning, and river navigation. After raft rigging is complete, you take a deep breath and become present with the environment around you. You can hear geese honking and the sound of the river rapids. You feel the warm sunshine and smell petrichor emanating from the river grasses. You’re ready to gain personal evidence of the extraordinary beauty and exhilaration that comes with adventuring on the river.

A ping on your phone brings you back to the present moment. You know deep inside, that it’s time to trade screen time for outdoor time.
