Our Mission

To educate and inspire people through authentic outdoor experiences.

Everything we do, from teaching a nervous beginner their first paddle stroke to guiding experienced kayakers through challenging rapids, serves this simple purpose. We believe the river is one of the world’s greatest teachers, and we’re honored to be the guides who help people discover what it has to teach.

Fun. Adventure. Grow.

These three words drive every decision we make. Your adventure should be enjoyable, push you beyond your comfort zone, and leave you transformed.
