Yes, many of our trips lend themselves to solo participants. This generally involves joining what we call an ‘Open Trip’ which is a trip made up of different participants or groups.

Our trip sizes vary from trip to trip however we try to maintain most of our trips within the 6-14 participant range, thus allowing for the utmost experience as a relatively small group. Additionally, smaller trips provide better client-to-guide ratios which adds to the overall safety and experience of the crew.

Besides from the first and last day of the trip, which involves transportation to and from the river, a typical day starts with a luxurious, hot breakfast prepared over the morning campfire, followed by a morning paddle where we negotiate obstacles and watch nature awaken around us. A river-side lunch is provided at mid-day, offering a chance to stretch our legs, potentially swim, and take in the beauty that abounds. Lunch is followed by an afternoon paddle that leads us to our evening campsite, selected by our guides to be the optimal site for scenery, relaxation, and options such as swimming, fishing, and stargazing. Evenings in our campsite always include freshly made appetizers, a gourmet dinner prepared over an open campfire, a selection of wine, and a full dessert, often including fresh baked goods. As the evening winds down, campfire stories and camaraderie abound as our group relives the days adventures and eagerly await the adventure of the next.
