Our guests agree that ROW guides are the most important element in the success of their adventure with us. Whether it’s a river guide out West, a yachting guide in the Mediterranean, or a sea kayak guide in the Galapagos, we are proud to have some of the best in the business.
ROW's mission is "Sharing Nature – Enriching Lives" and we strive to realize this on every one of our adventures. Along with extensive training and certification in First Aid, River Rescue and other outdoor skills, over 75% of our USA-based guide staff are trained as Certified Interpretive Guides through the National Association of Interpretation. Interpretation in this context means our guides are trained to communicate their knowledge with you in a way that will connect you to the places we visit in a personal and relevant way, so that your vacation with us is that much more enriching.
