Overview
Mariah Wilderness Expeditions, specialists in California rafting, began in 1982 when co-owner Donna Hunter turned her passion for whitewater rafting into a business. Co-owner Nancy Byrnes joined MARIAH in 1988, and her involvement comes from a long-lasting love of outdoor activities. Early in 2001, Donna and Nancy did some creative rearranging of their business relationship. Nancy became sole owner of Mariah Costa Rica, and Donna became sole owner of Mariah Wilderness Expeditions.
Today, with over 22 years of rafting and taking over 100,000 happy guests down the rivers, Mariah Wilderness Expeditions has become one of the largest and most successful whitewater rafting companies in California.
