Self-Guided Rentals
If you and your family, friends or group are comfortable being on the river without a guide around, you can choose our self-guided rental trip option. To choose this option, you need to have someone to guide each boat and not have anyone who is really apprehensive about rafting.
We provide equipment, a safety briefing, trip orientation, and shuttle.
Self-Guided Rentals are the lowest cost way to raft. This trip option work for many groups, but it is not for everyone.
