Frequently asked questions

The Deschutes Half Day trip is a perfect trip for people who want to raft for the whitewater. This is the same milage as the all-day trip, just no lunch or swim stops.

Check-in starts at our office in Maupin at 9:00a for the AM half-day and 1:30p for the PM half-day. No need to show up earlier.

Our half-day trips are 13 miles long, which takes about about 3 hours on the water, and a half hour to get to and from our raft shop.

While we LOVE dogs in general, we can’t allow them on the raft with you for guided trips. We have occasionally watched a dog in our office while the owner is rafting, call us to see what we got going on that day. No promises, we’re a busy place but we always try to accommodate when we can.

We require kids to be at least 6 years old and weigh 45 lbs so they fit in our lifejackets safely.
