Choosing Your Trip by Location

As we offer so many rafting trips in California, it can be difficult to know where to start. This page will assist you in selecting a raft trip by location ie. where you will driving from on the day of the trip.

Many of our trips are located close to popular tourist destinations like Lake Tahoe, the Gold Country and Yosemite, making a rafting trip the perfect addition to your California Vacation. You might also just want a trip that can be driven to and to return home in the same day, so we include selections by many cities.

We offer a variety of raft trips trips throughout California, from Mild to Wild. We have something for everyone (ages 4+) with beginner, intermediate and expert trips. If your destination is not certain and you are looking for ideas, you can also check out our rafting trips by level of difficulty or by specific river.
