Where do you want to go whitewater rafting?
Your O.A.R.S. whitewater rafting fun might take place within the amazingly wild landscape of Idaho, rolling from the alpine peaks of the Middle Fork Salmon, to the depths of a dramatic descent through North America’s deepest canyon where the Snake River flows alongside the rugged Seven Devils Mountain Range...
Or maybe your rafting trip takes you rushing through whitewater bordered by the tall pine trees and wildflower-festooned river canyons and gorges of granite of the scenic foothills of the Sierras in California, as do the South, Middle and North Forks of the American, and Tuolumne rivers. Oregon offers a fantastic family rafting vacation getaway through the beautiful Siskiyou National Forest on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River. And a bit more removed from civilization are the gemstone laden beaches and springtime whitewater thrills of a rafting trip in the multi-hued Owyhee River basin.
Maybe you would enjoy a rafting adventure within one of our nation's most spectacular National Parks, like the Merced River in Yosemite, the Yampa and Green rivers in Dinosaur National Monument, the Snake River and Jackson Lake in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park, or the mighty Colorado River in the Grand Canyon.
The wilds of the north offer exhilarating thrills as well as a few chills. Try rafting the longest continuous stretch of navigable whitewater in North America, British Columbia’s Chilko-Chilcotin-Fraser River. Plenty more wild rides are waiting to be experienced in this scenic wonderland, such as the Klinaklini or where a helicopter portage is guaranteed to add some excitement to your whitewater rafting experience. And just beyond the border of the endangered Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Canada is the Firth River, which in addition to rafting, may offer the opportunity to view 150,000 caribou on their annual trek across the wild Yukon wilderness.
O.A.R.S. is also proud to offer exciting international adventure travel vacations in more exotic locations, such as in the lush tropical paradise of Fiji where rainforests and waterfalls abound or amidst an incredible array of wildlife in the unspoiled land of wonder known as Galapagos. In the heart of Chile’s Patagonia, amidst breathtaking views of the Andes, surge the azure waters of the Futaleufu River. Here whitewater rafting enthusiasts will relax in riverside camps outfitted with hot tubs and sleep in tree houses; all while enjoying the thrill of Class IV and V white water river rafting.
With over 36 years of experience offering the finest whitewater river rafting adventures available, an adventure vacation with O.A.R.S. will connect your heart, mind and soul with the natural world! What's your dream adventure vacation?
