OARBOATS
These are inflatable rafts
(approx. 17 - 18 feet in length) with guides that maneuver them with a set of
oars secured to a frame in the middle of the raft. This is considered to be a
more stable craft than a paddleboat.

J-RIG RAFTS
These inflatable rafts (23 feet in length) are
motorized and move faster down river. The guide operates the motor from the
rear of the raft. They are much larger than the other rafts and are considered
to be the most stable. These rafts are used on the Cataract 3 day and 4 day
trips only.

INFLATABLE KAYAKS
These small inflatable rafts are manned by 1 or 2
guests with their double-ended paddles. There are no guides in these crafts.
The IK's are a great way to get up close and personal with the whitewater. They
are available to rent for most of our trips. IK's are provide for the group on
the Green
River, and Yampa River
trips.

TOURING KAYAKS
These hard-hulled boats have a keel and rudder,
are manned by 1 or 2 guests with their double-bladed paddles and are easily
maneuverable in moving water. (Not for whitewater use.) There are no guides in
these crafts, so it is up to the guest to maneuver the boat. Kayakers follow
instructions from guides in nearby kayaks or rafts.
