Website links open the outfitter's own site, usually its page for one of the rivers listed. Trip lengths, minimum ages and dated prices are on each river page.

How to use it

Find the right outfitter

Start with the river

Most people choose a river first. Each river page puts every outfitter there in one table, so you can compare like with like.

Idaho rivers

Then the trip

Check trip length in days and nights, the boats, the season and the minimum age. Those differ more between outfitters than the scenery does.

Oregon rivers

Then the price

Prices on our pages are the lowest listed on each outfitter's site, with the year. What is included varies, so read each outfitter's list.

What trips cost

Questions

Outfitter questions

How many rafting outfitters run overnight trips?

We list 97 outfitters that run guided overnight trips on the 19 rivers we compare so far. The list grows as each new river page is checked against its managing agency.

Which outfitters run the most rivers?

On the rivers we compare, these run five or more: OARS (14), ARTA (8), ROW Adventures (8), Western River Expeditions (7), Holiday River Expeditions (6), Momentum River Expeditions (6), Oregon River Experiences (6), Ouzel Outfitters (6), Northwest Rafting Company (5), Orange Torpedo Trips (5), Sheri Griffith River Expeditions (5), Tributary Whitewater Tours (5). Most outfitters run one or two rivers.

How do you decide which outfitters to list?

Each river page lists every outfitter we could find that holds a permit or contract for guided overnight trips there, from the agency's own list where it publishes one. We list every outfitter we find there, not only partners.

Is a bigger outfitter better than a small one?

Not by itself. A large company may run more dates and boat types. A small one may run a single river and know it well. Compare trip length, boats, minimum age and price on the river page, then call the two you like best.

Can I book a trip on this site?

No. We compare outfitters and link to them. You book directly with the outfitter you choose.

An outfitter is missing or a detail is wrong. What should I do?

Tell us through the contact page. We check every change against the agency or the outfitter's own site before it goes on the page.
