Equipment
We supply top of the
line equipment for the whole group. Rafts, lifejackets, all cooking essentials,

Fun Guides
We feel very lucky to
have the best guides in the business. Most have worked with us for many years.
Each guide makes a significant effort to provide our guests with personalized
attention and care.
Logistics
Most guests either
arrive in Grants Pass by car or fly into Medford which is 30 miles south. If
you are a small group (2 to 8), it is best to rent a car or van which we will
have shuttled for you to our destination at trips end. For larger groups we can
line up a van service for you that will transport you to the motel, river and
back to the airport at trips end. Single car shuttles are $90 while the van
service is $550. Please inquire as we have many different options for shuttles.
Medford is the nearest airport served by
large airlines-Carrier United, one may also travel by car along interstate 5.
It is best to spend the night preceding your trip in Grants Pass or at a
Riverside Lodge even closer to our launch point. We can make your reservations
at these lodges for you, just let us know.
The River
 Our shuttle drivers will know
who the group is from talking to me and will meet you at your motel or lodge at
9 am the morning of our launch. If you have rented a car or drove your own you
may want to follow the drivers to our launch location. If you have flown in as
a group it is best to rent a van service to pick you up at the airport and be
taken to your motel and then on to the river the following morning. They will
then pick you up at trips end and transport you back to the airport. We can
arrange this service for you. Charges range from $85 for individual cars to
$400 for a group of 12 to be driven in a shuttle van. If you are having a car
shuttled you will be asked to fill out a form releasing the drivers from
liability. You should also be sure to have a full gas tank and have means to
pay the driver on arrival at our launch location as we will not see them at the
take-out point.
While in route to the river you will have time to pick up
last minute items. Fishing licenses if you plan to fish -- get a 4 day license
for $43.50. Other items you may wish to purchase are flashlight batteries,
film, snacks, fishing related gear and drinks. We supply soft drinks, beer and
water in each individual boat, however if you think you may drink more than the
norm it is a good idea to pick up extra. You may also let us know if there is a
specific drink the group likes and we will supply it. Remember alcohol
beverages and mix are not supplied except beer and dinner wine but everyone is
welcome to bring their favorite.
Food
This is one thing we are
never short of, however if someone can only eat specific foods please let us
know and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
 First Aid
We supply first aid equipment for the whole group but if someone needs
specific medication or has allergic reactions to anything such as bees be sure
to let us know.
Use Fee
All use and park fees are
included in the total price. This is a tax by the federal government for use of
federal lands of which we are managed by both the Forest Service and the Bureau
of Land Management while on our float in the Wild and Scenic Section of the
Rogue. We collect and then pay this fee to the federal river manager.
Fishing
The Rogue offers
excellent steelhead and salmon fishing, however we do not stress it on our raft
trips. The best fishing doesn't start until September. It is best to plan on
fishing from the bank as rafts are not nearly as maneuverable as our driftboats
which are designed for fishing.
Take-out
We generally reach our
final destination on four day trips about 11am, on three day trips about 2pm at
Foster Bar. The guides will assist in getting all the vehicles to the river to
load up the luggage. You are about 35 miles from Gold Beach if you're heading
for the coast. If your traveling back to interstate 5 about one and a half
hours or to Medford about two hours will get you there. It is best not to make
airline departures from Medford before 3pm after a three day trip or 6pm after
a four day trip.. If you have to leave a trip early or join a day late please
inquire with us to work this out. We have many options.
