We run this trip in paddleboats and oarboats, and bring inflatable kayaks to play in. Our Family-Only rafting trip through Desolation Canyon presents some of the world's finest wild areas, in comfort, with great food, and some of the finest people you will ever meet. River rafting offers quality time and experiences for strengthening family relationships. There is adventure time, quiet time, family time, interaction and reflection time, and lots of time to play. Paddleboat rafting is a family / team activity. Hiking, water games, and building sandcastles provide quality interaction.

take this time to enjoy a leisure walk, relaxing next to the river, or the camaraderie of other guests. Our Family-Only guides have special education training.
