Rivers flow through some of the most majestic landscapes of the world and are a natural pathway to places that can be otherwise difficult to access.  As outfitters and guides, we provide access to those that may not have the equipment, skills and expertise to experience a river.  Some rivers require technical whitewater skill in addition to the other logistical aspects.

Our Family Magic Rafting Tours are truly the ultimate Family vacation. Exclusively offered to families bringing children, this unprescendented family adventure offers our singature River Jester™, a specially designed itinerary and menu and the perfect blend of adventure and relaxing.

When you embark on a rafting trip, it often feels as if you’re in a separate world. And you are! Swept away from the asphalt tributaries, the comforts of home and the cacophony of sounds resonating from urban living, you're instead riding life’s greatest highway: the river.

The quotes below express eloquently why we at ROW are so passionate about the rivers we raft.

Greetings! As co-owner of ROW Adventures, I've been sharing life-enriching experiences with our special guests for over 30 years. As a woman, and mother of two, I know you have unique concerns and questions.

Rafting the Rogue River is one of the best adventure vacations you can find. Its warm, lightly surging waters are challenging yet accommodating.

During my childhood, my father was fond of reminding me, “we’re going for a hike, not a fashion show.” As a (more or less) grown-up raft guide, I think I’ve come to understand his impatience with my pre-adventure sartorial indecision.

A Dutch oven is defined as a cast-iron kettle with a tight cover used for baking in an open fire; a metal shield for roasting before an open fire; a brick oven in which cooking is done by the preheated walls; and a heavy pot with a tight-fitting domed cover. Before you get started on the Apple Crisp, read our tips on using the Dutch oven in the best possible way!

There are moments in a trip where a guide gets tense and quiet as they come around a bend in the river. You see the signal to pull over being passed down from boat to boat and, one by one, each guide directs their raft into an eddy on the side of the river. They hop off, go tie up the boat, and come back to announce:

"We're going to scout a rapid."

A five-day journey into the thought process of human cleanliness in the wilderness.

Pre Trip:Take a long shower! It'll be the last one for a few days. Better trim your nails too! Need a shave? This is the day to do it!
