Overview
Earth River Expeditions offers whitewater rafting in the wildest and most remote places in the world. Using rivers as their primary means of transportation, their clients can visit beautiful places beyond the boundaries of normal travel.
Earth River has developed a number of classic river journeys including Patagonia, Chile's incomparable turquoise Futaleufu, Peru's fabled two mile deep Colca Canyon, China's impressive Great Bend of the Yangtze, Tibet's culturally exotic Upper Yangtze and the Primrose in Canada's Yukon Territory.
When running a wild river in a remote place, it is important to receive the safest trip possible. Earth River has pioneered many of the safety techniques currently being used of difficult rivers throughout the world and there is no one more conscientious about safety and no one who employs guides with greater experience. Earth River’s exceptional guides are the backbone of the company – they are extremely conscientious about safety. They are older and wiser, averaging 18 years in the industry and have been with Earth River for many years.
Earth River has received many impressive endorsements, including:
“Earth River Expeditions are the premier river runners of the world. Their staff includes some of the finest guides to be found. They have organized and guided descents down some of the toughest whitewater on earth.”
---ESPN Television
“After five Earth River trips, I am extraordinarily impressed with the attention paid to the safety and well being of the guests and to your dedication to the preservation of rivers worldwide.”
