The half-day adventure begins with a short drive to the launch site.  From there, our professional guides will introduce the Deschutes River to you with a safety talk and orientation.  The first excitement of the day begins right away with over a mile of great pool and drop style rapids.  The middle portion of the trip is fairly calm and is a great chance to unwind, relax or go for a swim.  The last four miles of the trip are filled with the most challenging and fun rapids of the day.  After the trip, we transport you back to your vehicle   

If you do not wish to spend all day on the river then a half-day trip may be just for you.  On a half-day journey, one will encounter most of the famous rapids on the Lower Deschutes, including Wapinita, Box Car, Surf City, Oak Springs and the Elevators.  The half-day trips usually last about three hours and are available at two different times a day.  One of the greatest complements that we receive for offering a half-day trip on the Deschutes River is the ease and convenience of being capable to do other activities in the same day.  Whether you are traveling to Central Oregon or back to the valley, there is not a better way to cool off on a hot summer day than a quick trip down the river.  Our Deschutes River Half-Day trips meet daily at either 9:30am or 1:30pm!
