Details

  • While Reservations are strongly suggested, walk-ins are always welcome. Please remember that the only way we can guarantee you exactly what you want is by making a reservation. Calling ahead is a good idea to also insure we are running trips that day. Your group’s reservation requires full payment or credit card commitment in advance. We do not charge the card unless on the day of the trip you prefer that form of payment or your full group does not show as reserved. Trips Go Rain or Shine. All reserved spots will be charged.
  • Insurance is included in pricing and covers damaged rafting equipment, not individual boats such as funyaks and torrents. Insurance DOES NOT COVER LOST EQUIPMENT for self-guided trips or Tote & Float Rentals. A lost single blade paddle is $20 and a lost double blade paddle is $30. A lost individual craft (i.e. funyaks or torrents) are Market Value.
  • Payment Methods: We accept Cash, Visa, Discover, American Express and Mastercard. Checks if approved by Will Truett.
  • Cancellation Policy: 100% refund made if you cancel 14 days in advance, or we are forced to cancel due to river conditions.

No refund made if you cancel less than 7 days prior to your trip or “No Show” on the day of your trip. All cancellations are subject to a $10 cancellation fee.
