Orange Torpedo Trips
Guided whitewater rafting, inflatable kayaking, and wilderness expeditions.
Born on Oregon's Rogue River in 1969, Orange Torpedo Trips built its reputation by doing river trips a little differently.
Today, we're best known for putting guests in our signature inflatable kayaks, with our guides paddling alongside them, and for creating multi-day adventures that turn first-timers into confident river runners.

EST. 1930 · THE BRIGGS TRADITION
Briggs Rogue River Fishing
Classic Rogue River fishing, drift-boat adventures, and lodge-to-lodge trips.
In 1930, Elmer Briggs began guiding fishermen on the Rogue River. Nearly a century later, that tradition continues.
Today, Rogue River Trips carries the Briggs legacy forward with guided fishing, classic drift-boat adventures, and unforgettable trips through the Wild & Scenic Rogue.

OVER 30 YEARS OF RIVER SUPPORT
White Water Cowboys Rentals
Raft rentals, equipment, and shuttles for private river runners.
Not every great river trip needs a commercial guide.
White Water Cowboys gives private boaters the equipment, transportation, and river support they need to build their own adventure. Rent a raft, arrange a shuttle, load your gear, and go find your river.
Now part of the Orange Tours family, White Water Cowboys brings decades of private-river knowledge to the people who'd rather run it themselves.

Wild & Scenic Rogue River
“Wonderful and thrilling 3-day and 2-night rafting trip on the Rogue River. We had a spectacular guide, J. P., who provided excellent instructions, unending assistance, and intriguing tall tales throughout our adventures. We enjoyed the two lodges we stayed in, Black Bar and Marial. All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable trips of my life.” -Daniel H.

How do you enjoy the river?
Whitewater. Campfires. Casts across quiet water. Muddy feet. Big laughs. Long days. Good food. And the kind of tired that feels really good.
