Different Strokes for
Different Folks
We offer 3 different rafting experiences from the casual laid-back to
the rigorous. Our guests have an opportunity to choose which option
suits them.
Oar
Boats
The oar boat offers an exciting yet stable ride. The boat is equipped
with a full frame that has bench style seats. Your guide rows the boat
with long wooden oars and sits behind the two bench seats. Guests sit
back and enjoy the ride and the scenery while the guide does all the
work. Oar boats carry three to five passengers, plus one guide.
Paddle
Boats
Paddle boats offer a chance to participate in a thrilling ride. Each
passenger in the boat paddles. We use an oar assisted paddle design,
which means the guide sits at the back of the boat on a little frame
and actually has oars. This design gives the guide more control for the
times when they need it in the bigger rapids. It also provides a very
safe environment to try out paddling. Paddle boats typically carry six
passengers who cooperatively paddle the boat down the river, plus one
guide with oars.
Inflatable
Kayaks
We bring inflatable kayaks along on all of our trips. These single
seated kayaks allow you to get one-on-one with the whitewater. Guests
can easily navigate these small, agile boats through gentle to moderate
whitewater, even if you have never kayaked before. Although we don't
allow guests to take them through the most dangerous rapids, you will
have plenty of opportunity to have fun and get wet.

"The Rogue River is a special place, and
our guide made it especially enjoyable with his smile, skill, and
patience. He answered all our questions like he'd never heard
those questions 1,000 times before; he seemed to enjoy the trip as much
as we did".
(John, Carol, Kelty, Evan, Jack & Ruth Howard, West Linn, Oregon)

Our Guides
We make a great deal of effort to find, train and keep great guides and
we feel our guides are the best on the Rogue River. We have always
fostered the idea that it takes a very special kind of person to become
a guide with Rogue River Raft Trips, Inc. Not only do they need to be
very skilled in oarsmanship and river knowledge and highly responsible,
but also they need to be all-around great people with a high fun
quotient. We have been very lucky to have great people with us over the
years. When they move on to do different things we always miss them.
Guests often ask for their favorite guides, but are never disappointed
with the new faces that join our crew.
Our
guides have great boating skills and they are fun, interesting and able
to make the trip fantastic for each guest. Each is thoroughly trained
in river safety and keep a sharp eye out to ensure that all passengers
are enjoying their trip in a safe manner.
