Spring Training


Each year, like clock-work, River Expeditions trains prospective river guides. Many former guests decide to exit the ‘real world’ in the hopes of becoming a whitewater guide for a fun summer job. Often it leads to a complete lifestyle change. Since whitewater is an addictive sport, what begins as a one-time trip with friends or family can easily turn into a lifelong passion and career.
For lots of people who truly love their initial rafting experiences, the lure is strong to accept the challenge and become a guide. Our intensive training program, involves learning to read whitewater, proper guiding techniques, and first aid and cpr training. As a guide, you belong to a team of professionals who share their knowledge and passion for adventure with others. Plus, you can’t beat the view from a river guide’s office! Hjo

28th Annual Ice Breaker Weekend

April 10, 2010 - April 11, 2010

Whitewater Season Opener

We had a fantastic time on the Lower New. First time rafting for my daughter and me, and the second time for my son. Your operation is very well-run and staffed by friendly people totally tuned to serving your customers. Our guide made sure everyone had a great time while watching out for our safety. And the steak dinner was so good, my son wanted another one. I just can′t imagine why anyone would even consider using another outfitter.
