Trip Itinerary
Arrival
Please arrive 35 minutes prior to your scheduled trip time (i.e. 9:25 am arrival for 10:00 am trip). Our check-in staff will be located near our bus. The meeting location is a large parking lot with ample parking, including RVs, also making it easy to spot our bus and check-in team. A staff member will check you in, answer any last-minute questions and collect waiver signatures if needed. There is shaded seating and restroom facilities at this location. On warm days, we turn the AC on in the bus 10-15 minutes before we leave the parking lot. On cool days, the bus is heated.
We provide water, sparkling water, shared binoculars, and ponchos on all float trips. You are welcome to bring snacks, phones, cameras, etc. There is room on the boats for small personal bags or one large bag per group, but please refrain from bringing large bags/backpacks for each guest.
Transit to River
The bus leaves promptly 25 minutes before your scheduled trip time (i.e. 9:35 am leave time for 10:00 am trip). This allows for a 10-minute grace period in case you are running a few minutes late. If all groups arrive early and are ready to go, we may leave early. From here, we take a quick 2-minute bus ride across the street to the river.
At The River
Once parked, our staff members will direct you to the restrooms. Just past the restrooms, you will see our guides, excited to greet and fit you with a personal flotation device. The boat ramp can be a very busy place, so make sure to follow paved walking paths and follow any staff directions. Once everyone is fitted with their PFD, we will complete a quick 5-minute trip orientation. From their our trip leader will call out groups in boat one, then two and so on. There is a short distance to walk down to the boats. If you need assistance, please let us know and we will be happy to help. Now, time to hit the river!
Float Time!
Enjoy panoramic mountain views, wildlife sightings, and fun, factual information from your guide. Float times do vary based on the time of year. In May and June, the float is about 2 hours. In July and August, the float is between 2 hours 15 minutes and 2 hours 30 minutes. In September, the float is between 2 hours 30 minutes and 2 hours 45 minutes.
End Of Float / Transit Back To Car
Sadly, all float tours must come to an end. Staff members will help guests out of boats and take their personal floatation devices. This is a great time to say goodbye to your guide and snag a picture, as it is the last time you will see them. Follow the shaded tree path to the restrooms and parking lot where the bus is located. Drive time back to your car is about 25 minutes but can vary based on traffic or construction.
