Typical Day

You will need to arrive 30 minutes prior to your trip time for check in, signing waivers and changing clothes. Your trip leader will call your trip, explain the gear needed, your ride to the river, prepare you to get wet and to have some fun. Everyone will board a bus for a short ride to the river and along the way you'll be told about your trip, the river area and receive your guide's name. At the put-on you will have an instruction period, safety orientation and some time to practice with your guide before you descend the river. On your way down river your guide will tell you about the area, give you each rapid's name and along the way the trip will stop to swim and take in the great scenery. After your trip you will return to our headquarters for hot showers and a slide show of your trip with photos available. You can also plan a catered meal or picnic before or after your trip, play volleyball on our sand court or shop in our gift store.
