Our Values
Family
We believe that a great company is only as good as the people involved with it. We don’t view each other as coworkers, we know each other as family. We enjoy every minute of our time together and through our shared passion of the outdoors we have created an amazing family bond. We wish to extend that family bond to you, to share our passion for the outdoors, and to give the warmest most inviting comfortable experience possible.
Safety
With every outdoor activity there are inherent risks and rewards. We pride ourselves in constantly being aware of and understanding the risks involved. We incorporate safe practices in all that we do, and constantly refresh ourselves in CPR/first aid and swiftwater rescue techniques. We encourage extended medical training for our staff. You can feel confident with our staff on your outdoor adventure.
The Outdoors
At Tahoe Whitewater Tours we believe that spending time in the outdoors is a crucial part of enjoying life to the fullest, and that experiencing natural environments brings real value to life. We believe that the best way to experience the outdoors is through spending time on a river. Floating through meandering meadows, under towering trees, and through tall canyons does something special to the psyche. It is our goal to provide you with the most memorable river experience possible, to create more than a day on the river, to create a positive emotional connection to the outdoors. We want you to immerse your senses, to capture the feeling of warm sun on your skin, cool crisp mountain water splashing through the boat, the sounds of thrilling rapids around the bend. To create a experience not found anywhere else. Let our guides introduce you to the serenity a river can bring as they take you down some of the best whitewater in the west.
