FAQ's
What happens on a typical rafting trip?
Our goal has been to help people enjoy "the best outdoor experience of their lives." Every day on the river brings a new experience, whether it’s spending a ½ day experiencing your first rapids, spotting wildlife, hiking to ancient petroglyphs or staying up late to watch shooting stars.
Will I get seasick?
The chances of getting seasick are very low. River running is not like being at sea and does not seem to induce seasickness.
Do I need to be young and fit to go rafting?
There are some physical requirements for joining our trips, weight restrictions may apply, and being healthy and reasonably fit certainly makes the experience more rewarding. People with medical conditions, including pregnancy, should have a physician's approval before taking an adventure travel trip. Persons with various disabilities are welcome on rafting trips, pending a discussion of any special requirements. If you're in doubt about your fitness to go rafting, we recommend checking with your doctor before you go.
What should I pack, and what should I wear on the river?
In collaboration with our guides and operations managers, our expert adventure consultants, who have nearly 950 river trips among them, have compiled detailed packing lists for each trip we offer. These documents include advice on everything from footwear (if you plan to buy footwear for your trip, make sure to make your purchase far enough in advance and break in until comfy) to what to wear on the boat and in camp, as well as what personal items are a must (e.g. water bottle & sun protection). What to bring on your rafting trip, and what to wear on the river, is as varied as the itineraries themselves. Your gear will depend on the time of year, water temperature and the weather for your trip.
