Rafting & Kayaking

Guided whitewater rafting and inflatable kayaking on Oregon and Idaho rivers.

This is where Orange Torpedo started. Paddle a raft with your crew, sit back in an oar boat while a guide rows, or take the controls of your own inflatable kayak, the orange torpedo we are named for. Our guides read the water, set the lines and stay right there with you the whole way.

Pick a half day on the Rogue, a full day of Class III, or a multi-day trip on the Rogue, Salmon, Owyhee or Hells Canyon with a beach camp or a lodge at the end of each day. First-timers and families are welcome, and there is always a raft to hop into if the kayak feels like too much.
