Enjoy the best of both worlds and book our combo package! After experiencing breathtaking views of the Wilderness Wave section, continue downstream and raft through action-packed rapids on the Canyon Wave section, for a total of 22 miles. We recommend this trip for parties who want an half-day adventure.

  • Class I, II, III, and IV
  • Suitable for ages 12 years and older
  • Tour Length is 5.5 hours

Paddle vs Oar Rafts

For all raft trips, you have your choice of oar rafts or paddle rafts (It takes 5 participants to paddle, when possible parties are combined to reach five or more). Both oar rafts and paddle rafts run the same rapids on the river. Perfect for 1st timers, an oar raft, is rowed by the guide while rafters sit, hold on and enjoy the view. In a paddle raft you will be expected to follow instructions and be an active participant by paddling the raft down river. You still have a guide but everyone has a paddle and the guide instructs you on how and when to paddle.
