Frequently asked questions
Should I rent my own raft or do a guided trip?
When set up as paddle rafts, 13 foot rafts fit 3 to 6 people, 14 foot rafts fit 5 to 8 people and 15 foot rafts fit 8 to 10 people. We do not recommend filling your paddle raft with more than 10 people. Rowing frame setups take up more space and work best for 3 to 5 people on the raft, regardless of size.
What size raft do I need for my group?
Can I choose between a paddle setup or a rowing setup?
Certainly! For the Harpham Flats to Sandy Beach stretch, most people want a paddle setup, where each person on the raft has a paddle, but some prefer oars, where one person rows, instead. Let our office know which setup you’d like when making your reservation. There is no cost difference. If you don’t know what any of this means, you should take a guided trip!
Can I take my dog on the raft?
Yes, we do allow dogs on our rental rafts, though we suggest you know the river well and be experienced in guiding the boat. Ask about our doggy lifejackets available for rent!
