River Rafting Trips 

​

Overview

 

A float down one of Northern California's large meandering rivers offers a glimpse into California's ecological past. These are easy going floats where participants can sit back, relax, and appreciate nature at a slower pace. 

​

Most trips include the opportunity to hike and explore areas more difficult to access on foot. Our guides will row the rafts down the river while we look for wildlife learn about the areas we travel through and soak in the beautiful views.
