Join the OARS Affiliate Program
Earn Commissions on the WEST’s Best Rafting Adventures
Since 1969, OARS has set the gold standard for professionally guided rafting trips and active adventures on iconic rivers across the American West and beyond. We specialize in immersive, expertly-led experiences that connect travelers to the wild.
If you already know OARS, you know the difference—exceptional guides, seamless logistics, and a deep commitment to the places we explore. Our affiliate program is built for partners who want to share those experiences with their audience and earn along the way.
How It Works
1) Join the OARS affiliate program
Login to Awin, our dedicated affiliate tracking platform, fill out a quick and easy form, then submit for approval. If you’re new to Awin, you’ll need to sign up and create a free account first.
2) Share OARS with your audience
Once approved, create unique tracking links and use them within your content—articles, guides, social posts, or newsletters—to drive traffic to OARS.
3) Secure bookings
When a user clicks your link and completes a booking on OARS.com, the sale is tracked and attributed to you through Awin (60-day cookie duration).
3) Earn commission
Commissions are paid on qualified sales (completed, fully-paid bookings). Canceled or refunded bookings are not eligible.
- 4% commission on multi-day domestic river trips in the U.S., excluding Alaska and Grand Canyon (Average booking value: $3,000)
- 6% commission on 1-day trips and 2-day American River trips (Average booking value: $1,000)
5) Tracking & payouts made simple
Awin manages tracking, reporting, and payments. You’ll have access to real-time performance data, and commissions are paid via direct deposit.
Note: Commissions are confirmed after the trip is completed. Because many guests book 6–12 months in advance, payouts may occur several months after the initial referral.
