Run incredible rapids that leave you drenched and exhilarated. See amazing wildlife such as otter, bear, elk, moose, eagles and falcons. Visit ancient Indian rock art sites and pioneer homesteads. Soak under the stars in a wilderness hot spring. The incredible variety of a wilderness rafting trip makes it something that people of all ages, from all walks of life treasure and enjoy.
ROW provides the best in personal service and luxurious "safari-style " camps are set up by ROW’s expert guides who also serve up gourmet food. All gear is provided and on the river you can choose from paddle rafts, oar rafts and inflatable kayaks.
In addition to fabulous rafting trips, ROW offers raft-supported hikes where you carry only a day pack. International trips offered include guided yachting trips along Turkey's Mediterranean coast, whitewater rafting the headwaters of the Amazon in Ecuador and barging in France.
ROW strongly believes that the more you understand about the world around you, the more you’ll appreciate it. Consequently, interpretation is an important part of what they do. They try to unlock the mysteries of nature. Identify a flying duck at a hundred yards. Spin a good yarn around the campfire. Learning these skills is a never-ending process, so when they’re not guiding, they take courses in natural and cultural history, wilderness medicine and river rescue. They read books. Some of them take guitar lessons. They share with each other. They do this to make your trip more than just a float down the river. Whatever your interest may be, they’ll be tuned in, and if you’re curious about something, they hope they can shed some light on the subject. In the end, the skills they have to offer are just part of what you’ll experience on a vacation with ROW. The rivers, mountains, animals and plants will give you their own gift. So please give them a call. They’d like to tell you more about their trips, themselves, and their approach. And most of all, they hope you’ll join them... to share their lives and the places they love.
