This was such an incredible adventure, and the support, warmth and patience you get from the staff from the very beginning to end is outstanding (and necessary) since this can be a very wild, and different kind of activity for a lot of people.

All 3 of our guides, Nikola, Lauren, Jake (cheeks!), became legends in our memories. All 3 made the trip worth every minute from the food, to the camp setups, the games, side adventures, and the company. This river is very beautifully scenic. The cold water makes the hot summer temps completely tolerable. And the chance to float rapid with only a PFD is so memorable. We highly recommend DRA! Without hesitation we would book another trip with DRA and only hope to get our fantastic 3 - Lauren, Nikola, and Cheeks!

On the river, Pippa, our boats guide was a master. She shared her knowledge of the river and surroundings and made the trip just a really fun and unforgettable experience. Kaden was the second boat guide on our trip and was fun to chat with at camp and obviously enjoyed his time on the river. The three of them made sure we had great camps and meals- lunch the first day was my personal favorite. Meals worried me because of a gluten intolerance but I was well accommodated and even got to enjoy some yummy day 3 pancakes for breakfast. The water was amazing. The guides offered extra adventure for those who were up for it- jumping off rocks, bull riding on the bow, and picking your level of comfort for the last days big rapids. Surfing was my favorite and I'll never forget being able to gaze down into that moving water a few inches from my face. This trip was absolutely amazing. Don't hesitate for a moment- this is a beautiful way to see an incredible part of Oregon.

What a fantastic half day rafting down the Deschutes River. We went in a group of four adults and…read moretwo kids (5 and 7), almost all of whom had never been rafting. We had our own raft and shared the river with two other rafts of six from the company. Our guide was great on the river and great with the kids (including suggestions for where they should slsit in the raft). The first words out of our 5 year olds mouth was "can we go again"? They had a photographer follow by minivan with fun telephoto shots of the group afterwards ($60). All and all a great trip. Our only tip is that the email information differs from some of the instructions in reality ( ie they say you must have closed toe water shoes, but many were in flip flops or Teva sandals; it was recommended to bring water, sunscreen, hat and sunglasses by our guide after we checked in- whereas it felt like much of this was discouraged but online)

Still a bargain for some awesome FUN in nature. You assemble at 10 a.m. to sign waivers and confess your age on the form...get outfitted with the appropriately-sized life jacket. And buy some last-minute things in the office, such as chapstick with sun screen and a water-tight container for smokes. Also pet Lucy the wonder dog. Bring nothing except a great attitude, because they will take pictures for you (having guys stationed along the route with a ready and well-practiced camera). They have SHUTTLE transportation and it's a SHORT RIDE to the put in. We had a badass female river guide...DEB....she was the lead that day, and gave us some great advice on how to row (use your core, not your arms)...easy-to-understand rowing instructions...and she emphasized the fun AND the safety. No one swamped or got pulled into the water, unless they wanted to swim...she also memorized our names and talked a little with everyone on the trip. Also her voice carried nicely over the rushing water and the screaming of the clients...Way to go! Awesome job, Deb! This is a CLASS III river...with plenty of time to recover and just float...water was a little low...so rocks were exposed here and there...and while there weren't the big big holes or crazy nuts insane hydraulics, it was still super fun and we did get super wet. Plus there are LAVA TUBE formations below, so it created interesting spinning motions for the rafting experience....plus there's a rapid where we could STAND UP while paddling (my favorite thing to do!!! Whoooo hooooo). Our guide DEB told us about the geology, the flora and fauna along the river...and she told us the names of each set....Wapinitia...Boxcar...AND she also pointed out the nesting OSPREY and pointed out the deer resting underneath an oak tree...we saw SWALLOWS, the swallows nesting under the bridge...the DUCKS zipping fast out of our way...I LOVE WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS! Deb was also encouraging to our not-so-coordinated and the young'uns...again much appreciated, Deb. One cool feature....you can bullride the nose of the raft and get completely drenched. Everyone on the left side gets wetter...HINT: Just check which side the river guide sits, that will tell you which side is the dry side. I really wanted to ride the nose but I was a tag-a-long on this family vacation, but next time. SHOUTOUT: Friendly upbeat river guides. Also nice picnick lunch...a guy named Rabbit grilled the hamburgers....the buns all stacked in a pyramid....all the fixings and condiments...nicely and evenly cut tomato slices...watermelon, beautifully sliced thin (someone has pretty good culinary knife skills!!).... freshly-baked store-bought type sugar cookies with m & m in them....being a vegetarian/vegan, it was easy to make a tomato onion pickle sandwich from what was on the table. Had they had prior warning, I wonder if they would have had a garden burger for me...it was a thoughtful picnic setup nonetheless. OVERALL: Great outfitter. Reasonable cost to purchase pics, shown to you on an IPAD, then given to you on a flashdrive. Bigtime FUN on the river...on a breezy warm, but not too warm, perfect Thursday.

There were 7 of us raning from 9 to 59 years old. A couple of people went in the water to swim. The last bit, rapids, was choppy for the swimmers. Most of us took a turn to ride at the front of the raft. It was ecstatic! Like the guide said, there was not time for water and bathroom breaks. Other than a pair of water shoes, you don't need a hat or glasses. You will get plenty wet and lots of fun. We bought the USB key with photos.
