Description   California rafting from Mild to Wild

Description of Active Adventure

Tributary offers a variety of trips with something suitable for all levels. From family vacation trips where kids raft for 1/2 price, to expert only whitewater adventures on some of the toughest rivers in the USA. No previous experience is required on many trips, and non-swimmers accomodated. Choose from a 1/2 day express run, a 1 day adventure, or a multi-day vacation, with options for wilderness camping, river side hot springs, hot showers or historic lodges.

Typical Day

Trips vary from 1/2 day (approx 3-4 hrs) to multi-day trips including all meals. You will receive paddling & safety instruction and life jackets when you meet us. Our professional guides will steer the rafts down the river, with our clients enjoying the participation of paddling, but oar rafts are available by request for those who cannot or do not wish to paddle.

Age range, type of group

From 4 years to senior. The type of group varies depending on the level of difficulty of the river and the time of year. Lots of family groups on Class 3 runs in the summer months and active, adventurous singles and couples during the exciting spring season (though more difficult whitewater is available throughout the season)

Sleeping and meals

We provide a plentiful, wholesome lunch on the river and mouthwatering barbeques in our camp for our overnight guests. Camping is included on our overnight trips and tents and other equipment may be rented from us. On most rivers, accomodations are also available in the area,

Restrictions

From 4 years upwards with age restrictions for different levels of difficulty and season. Non-swimmers are OK on Class 2 and 3 rivers, but swimming abilty is required on Class 4. Class 5 rivers require previous experience and a test may be required at the river site. Pets are not usually accomodated, but can be accomodated on some custom trips.
