Rafting Trips for Corporate groups

CALL TO BOOK | 530.626.7385

White water rafting is an incredibly fun way of getting co-workers and friends out of the workplace and into an environment where they can learn and grow. It’s one of the most natural “team building” experiences you can get! Whitewater rafting trips promotes trust, communication, and teamwork. A corporate rafting trip helps co workers to support each other, communicate with one another, and work together towards a common goal! This a great way to reward employees, build team spirit, or as an incentive for meeting goals.

Our staff will help you customize your trip if needed, the most popular add on is a lunch to our 1/2 day trips. On the river our guides cater to the needs of each raft, so people of all levels of ability can be nurtured but challenged.

For large groups we suggest calling the office as soon as you have your date(s) selected to check availability. We can hold your spaces until the deposit is made. We will send you an invoice and final balance and head count are due within 1-2 weeks of your trip.

We have many corporate groups (large and small, from 6 to 100+) that have chosen Tributary for their white water rafting trip including:

Our clients return year after year for our friendly, personal service. We employ only the best professional guides who are all CPR and First Aid certified, many also carry EMT certification.

We are confident that we have the perfect rafting trip for your group! Trips range from mellow Class 2 runs to intense Class 5 trips (previous experience required). Whether you’re looking to raft for a few hours or wanting an overnight retreat with camping and meals included – we have many different California rafting trips to choose from. Trips are easily accessible from San Francisco, Sacramento, Fremont, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Redding, Chico and San Jose with rivers near Yosemite and the Redwoods.

Choosing a Raft trip for your Group:

We offer a diversity of trips that can accommodate all levels of rafters, from novices to some of the most difficult whitewater to be found in the USA. The American River is host to many corporate rafting trips, availability is from March through September, and is located 1 hour to the east from Sacramento (also within 2 hours of Lake Tahoe and Reno).

Closest Raft Trips to San Francisco, Mountain View and Sacramento:

The South Fork American River offers class 2-3+ rapids on 1 or 2 day trips. This river is suitable for non-swimmers making it great for very large groups of varying abilities (we can accommodate over 70 people, and up to 8 people per raft, not including the guide).

The Middle Fork American River has class 2, 3, and 4 rapids and requires all participants to have strong swimming abilities so it’s best to check with your group and to have them view the videos as well. The Middle Fork American River trip can be run in 1, 2 or 3 days, trip size is typically 12-36 people (can accommodate more) with up to 6 people per raft (not including the guide).

Closest Raft Trips to Lake Tahoe and Reno:

Truckee River Whitewater Rafting near Lake TahoeThe Truckee River is within 35 minutes of Lake Tahoe’s North Shore and Reno, providing many corporate rafters a great 1/2 day outing on 7 miles of class 2-3 rapids. The Truckee River is great for those on a tight schedule, and suitable for non-swimmers. Be sure to book far in advance for large groups. Hotel pick-up may be available – inquire with our reservations office. 

American River rafting tripsFamily Whitewater Rafting Trip on the American River (South and Middle Forks mentioned above) are also convenient to Lake Tahoe and Reno. Depending on location these trips are 1-2 hours away.

If you are unsure about which river trip is best for your group our page on Choosing your California Rafting Trip can help you decide which river trip is best for your group or give us a call and our friendly staff will assist you in choosing the proper rafting trip.

Pricing & Discounts:

We offer discounts of 5-25% for corporate groups, depending on the size of the group and the timing of the event. Weekday trips offer significant savings. Also, during the off season months of April, May and September, larger group discounts may be possible. See details of these discounts on our cost page.

We have great systems for groups who are paying separately, this does not affect the total group discount and super easy for organizers and participants!

For corporate groups where the company is paying for the trip we also have a great system for registration & signing our digital waiver. It takes the stress and confusion of paper copies and is part of our “going green” movement.

About Tributary Whitewater

Tributary Whitewater Tours has been running white water rafting trips in Northern California & beyond since 1978. The company was originally founded by Dan Buckley, an integral player in the development of white water rafting in California. Dan Buckley’s love to share the excitement, wonder, and natural beauty that rivers have to offer with others lives on with the current owner, Jeremiah Copper.

Tributary continues to be an industry leader in the west coast rafting industry. We offer more rivers than any other outfitter, giving us the ability to accommodate younger kids down to ages 4 (thru our own experience as parents). Our team is one a kind, and everyone in our staff, from guides, to drivers, to the folks answering the phones – we all have a passion for what we do.

The rivers call to us for different reasons, be that extreme white water, fishing, enjoying nature or just experiencing new things & places. There is magic in every river trip. For some, you may first see a bald eagle in flight for the first time, or maybe conquer your first Class 5 rapid. We are here to help you choose your perfect adventure, for any excitement level.
