What is Whitewater Rafting?

Whitewater rafting involves a professional guide navigating an inflated raft with 2-8 paddlers (you)! The rapids we raft range in difficulty Class II (easy) to Class IV (advanced). The trip lengths we offer are: Half Day, Full Day, and Multiday. Guests are provided with a Personal Flotation Device, Paddle, Helmet, and safety orientation. Whitewater rafting is our very favorite adventure activity and we can’t wait to share it with you! See Frequently Asked Questions Here or Give Us a Call at 530-587-5777.

Where

Northern CA and Nevada Whitewater: our trips are all within 2 hours from the Bay Area, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and Reno.

Who

We offer a variety of trips, suitable for kids, families, large groups, small groups, parties, corporate groups, and anyone looking to get out and have some fun. We were the very first whitewater rafting company on the Truckee River – our operation focuses on safety, comfort, and good old-fashioned fun!

When

We operate from April – September. 2023’s record breaking snowfall in the Sierra means the skiing stoke will transfer to whitewater rafting all summer!
