Solo Vacation on the River
Just because you’re flying solo doesn’t mean you can’t raft with us!
Just because you don’t have a group of friends or family who want to go whitewater rafting with you doesn’t mean you can’t partake in one of Tributary’s whitewater rafting trips.
Solo travel has been on the rise over the past decade and positively exploded in the post-Covid travel scene. Having the freedom and independence to go wherever you want and do whatever you want on vacation is intoxicating, and people are hitting the hiking trails solo, going on solo cruises, taking solo history tours, and yes, even going whitewater rafting solo! A solo whitewater rafting trip packs a punch and is the perfect way to relax, have fun, and meet new, adventurous friends.
Here are some great reasons why you should consider rafting solo.
You Can Choose the River and Dates that Excite You Most
Traveling with others is fun, but the logistics can become infinitely more complicated the more people you add to a trip. By whitewater rafting solo, you only have to worry about pleasing yourself! Choose whatever river you want, from a relaxing Class II like the South Fork American River to a heart-pumping Class IV, like the North Yuba River. Make a whole vacation out of it, and join us for one of our special trips like our Art on the American River Creativity Retreat, or a Yoga and Rafting Weekend on the South Fork American!
Use our Trip Finder to explore our offerings, and then give us a call. We can help design the perfect river trip for you and let you know what dates we have available.
You’ll Make Lasting Friendships
Whitewater rafting is, by nature, a team sport, and sharing the thrilling experience of navigating whitewater rapids builds a bond between our guests like no other. Even if you’re traveling solo, you’ll spend your days on the river in close quarters with your raftmates, facing challenging rapids, celebrating your successes, keeping each other safe, and sharing meals on the shore. You’re sure to walk away with new friends at the end of your trip. Several of the relationships forged on our whitewater rafting trips have turned into long-lasting friendships and repeat customers!
You’ll Leave With Newfound Confidence
What do traveling solo and whitewater rafting have in common? They both are great ways to inspire confidence in yourself! Traveling solo and whitewater rafting both come with inherent challenges and difficulties, from having to make your own decisions and troubleshoot problems to navigating challenging rapids and cold water. Put the two together, and you have the perfect recipe to build trust in yourself and your skills, boost your self-confidence, and walk away with a new appreciation for your own inner strength.
