Guided Deschutes Whitewater Rafting Trips

Full Day Adventure

This trip makes a great outing for any size group or family. You will float 12 miles of the finest white water the Deschutes has to offer. Our experienced guides will lead you through 10 thrilling rapids ranging from Class II to Class IV. You have the option of bringing your own lunch or having us provide one for you.

Family group guided through rapidsWe transport you from our shop to the put-in site at Harpham Flat, pick you up at the end of the trip at Sandy Beach and bring you back to our shop. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride!

We accept children ages 8 and up. We provide the children's life jackets as well as adult whitewater approved jackets. We have a minimum of 4 people required for a trip - there is no maximum! We do offer discounts for large groups numbering 20 people and over. If the day turns out cooler than expected, we have wetsuits available to keep you comfortable.

Our lunches are either a drift-in barbecue (hamburgers, salads, etc.) or a deli lunch that rides along with you in our cooler. If you choose to bring your own, we provide the cooler with ice and our guide can show you the best places to stop and picnic along the way!

Our trips consist of more than whitewater rafting: You may also stop for hikes, body floating, rope swing, slip n' slide, etc. Our guides know the great things to do and are more than happy to let you experience as little or as much as you'd like! We don't combine you with other groups, so it is up to you how much time you'd like to spend out there. The average trip time is around 4 hours, however, the timing depends on your group! Trip start times are flexible, with the average time about 11:00am to noon. Reservations are required; start times dependent on number of trips that day.

Camping on the river’s edge makes a great end to a fabulous day. Scrumptious camp-out-style meals, good conversation, and fabulous starlit nights make camping a memorable experience.
