Whether you’re heading out on a rafting trip for the first time or the tenth, book your next one with OARS. From the scenery to the amenities to the good company, everything about an OARS trip is perfection personified. The guides know every last inch of the river like the back of their hand, and they know even more about whipping up a good meal at the end of a long day. Even if you can’t make time for an overnight trip, come out for a day and make memories that last a lifetime. This is as good as it gets.

Best River Outfitter EVER! We have done many self-guided river trips, but this was our first with an outfitter. I was blown away by the quality of the guides and the attention to detail in making every element of our experience exceptional. I have been recommending OARS to everyone I know and will definitely be floating with them again!

This was my first time taking part in a guided rafting tour. OARS definitely set the bar high for future experiences. The guides were entertaining and knowledgeable. The scenery was beautiful. Great time.
