White Water Rafting Guides:
 Tributary California white water rafting guides are
highly trained, warm and friendly individuals chosen for their ability to make
your California rafting trip safe, fun-filled and unforgettable. Because
Tributary runs some of the most difficult rivers in the west, you can be sure
your California white water rafting guide is a skilled, experienced
professional.
Paddle vs.
Oars
Tributary Whitewater
Tours uses paddle boats on most of our whitewater rafting trips in California.
A paddle boat crew consists of four to eight paddlers and an experienced
California white water rafting guide. Following instructions from the
California rafting guide, the crew maneuvers the raft using basic forward and
back strokes to turn and propel the raft. Paddling is easy, fun and requires no
previous California white water rafting experience. There is a wonderful sense
of accomplishment in being part of a finely tuned California white water
rafting crew that is navigating the river together! On more difficult white
water rafting trips in California we occasionally use a combination of paddles
and oars (controlled by the California rafting guide). If any clients are
unable to paddle, we will provide a regular oar boat for you, where the
California white water rafting guide does all the work for you. Be sure to
mention any physical limitations when you book your raft trip. Oar rafts may
also be available on request for able bodied clients.
Equipment:
Tributary Whitewater
provides all the necessary California rafting equipment; top quality Coast
Guard approved life jackets, helmets on some Class III rivers and all our Class
IV and Class V California white water rafting trips, waterproof bags and boxes
for wilderness camping. We only use the most advanced self-bailing rafts, which
are more maneuverable, safer and more comfortable in big water than
conventional raft types. During periods of low water, smaller rafts are
available, offering more excitement in smaller waves. On Class II-III
California white water rafting trips, inflatable kayaks are often provided for
sharing, but these may be reserved for sole use for an additional fee (water
levels permitting).
Wet-suits, paddling jackets and camping equipment
may be rented from Tributary Whitewater. Call for availability and
charges.
