ITINERARY

​

You will meet your guide(s) at Bend Boat ramp, approximately 10 miles north of Red Bluff at 1:00pm sharp on day 1 of your trip. Our shuttle will transport us approximately 10 minutes to our put-in where we will begin our journey down river.

 

After a couple hour scenic float we'll land at our peaceful campsite along the river which will be our home where we'll relax, hike and explore for the next 2 nights.

 

Your guides will prepare delicious meals (dietary restrictions can almost always be accommodated) and you'll have the chance to truly unwind and enjoy nature. Evenings will be complimented with the compulsory campfire weather and local conditions permitting.

 

Miles of scenic trails are accessible right from our camp! On day 2 our guides will lead a hike either upstream or down, or you may go out on your own hike. Or, relax and enjoy our riverside camp- the choice is yours. 

​

On day 3, after a hearty breakfast, we'll break down camp and float the remaining few hours to our take-out and the end of our journey around 12:00pm on our final day.

 

WHAT IS INCLUDED- Details

 

Rafting Equipment- All necessary river equipment including life vests, rafts, and safety equipment are provided. Our guide(s) will expertly handle all logistics including providing a safety orientation and rowing the raft(s) down river.

​

Camping Equipment- We provide high quality 4 person tents that accommodate 1-2 people (or up to 4 if you prefer). We also provide camp chairs, hand washing stations, screen houses when necessary, and camp kitchen.

 

Basically, everything we need for a comfortable camp experience. Note: you must bring your own sleeping bag and pad. We can help with rentals if you require. All you need to bring is your personal items. A detailed packing list will be provided when you sign up for your trip. All equipment and personal belongings will accompany us down the river.

 

Meals- All meals beginning with dinner on day 1 through breakfast on day 3 are lovingly prepared by your guides and are varied, substantial, and delicious. Many ingredients are sourced locally with an emphasis on supporting local organic farms.

 

Hot breakfasts with excellent coffee and teas will ready us for the day's activities.

 

Lunches are typically deli style with fresh fruits and healthy (and some not) snacks.

 

Dinners typically comprise three courses, including appetizers, a main dish, and dessert. Dietary restrictions can almost always be accommodated. We have each participant fill out a pre-trip questionnaire that helps us to plan for each trip.

​​

NOT INCLUDED

​

Sleeping bags and pads are not included and may be rented if you do not have your own. Transportation to and from the take out is also not included. 

​

CONSIDERATIONS

​

This is a mild float with no rapids. Participants do not need to be athletes to enjoy this trip, however will need to be able to walk on uneven terrain (over rocks, exposed roots etc) and sit comfortably in a raft without back support for a few hours.

​

Our campsite is primitive. There is generally an outhouse style facility available. Occasionally, we will camp where there is no established outhouse and we will bring a portable toilet. 

 

All of our trips are participatory in nature and our team oriented approach facilitates logistics such as setting up and breaking down camp, loading/ unloading rafts etc. Our highly evolved systems make these processes quite easy and streamlined.

​

​We will provide additional details, including a detailed packing list to help you prepare for your trip when you book with us and are here to help you in any way we can.
