Before you book
Do I need rafting experience or can a complete beginner do this trip?
No experience required. Guides tailor to your pace, safety briefing is mandatory, and you’ll be given on-river instruction before any move.
Is the price worth it compared to renting gear myself?
Full-day is around $160 and half-day around $84; gear, guide, and shuttle are included, which commonly adds up to more if you rent separately. You’re paying for a vetted operator’s safety and convenience.
What if I need to cancel due to weather—do I get a refund?
Yes, you can cancel with at least 48 hours’ notice for a full refund; cancellations inside 48 hours cost the full trip price.
Can my 8-year-old keep up on the raft?
Minimum age for whitewater trips is 5 years old; some full-day trips have a higher age minimum (14) due to terrain and exertion. Scenic floats are open to all ages.
Do the guides really know the holes or is it luck?
Guides are trained and certified; they know river sections well, adjust for your group, and stay within safety limits while maximizing your experience.
