What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

What travelers are saying

"Hot & Unforgettable It's really hard to quantify the experience in a few short sentences. As one who has lived most of my life in urban environments, I was utterly shocked by the adjustment to 100% outdoor life, there were a lot of moments where I was convinced my domestic instincts weren't equipped for such an intense experience. Despite feeling unprepared and a little shocked by a myriad of intensities, (110 Degree Weather, 40 Degree Water, Hours of Uninterrupted Sun Exposure, Chugging Gallons of water to just stay hydrated enough to not get horribly ill) I have literally nothing but glowing remarks for both the trip as a whole and for the unbelievably accomodating and talented guides who transformed the experience from a journey of basic survival to an exciting and enjoyable adventure! Our Capitan (Ludkey, or Lucky) was amazing, charismatic and sincere, he found humor in awkward and scary moments, broke tension without removing the seriousness of our safety and health, and genuinely seemed to enjoy the unique experience with us, taking time to share his own secret spots and stories to make the experience richer! Hank, our second in command on our boat, was new to the trip but took incredible efforts to point out countless points of interest, you would see him each morning and day on the raft diligently studying guide books and following directions from Lucky, he used this knowledge and skill he was gaining each day to teach us many fun facts and on several occasions, keep us safe and healthy. The Tag team between Hank and Lucky made me feel like we were really being taken care of the entire time and that they were going above and beyond to make the trip not just bearable for us city folks, but special and unique! Scotty and Paco piloted the second boat (which we never traveled on) but even from limited interactions at Camp or during Frolicks I found them warm and helpful. Scotty took time to share his passion for music and songwriting with us, a few tunes are still stuck in my head ("Just a Caged Chicken!") and Paco, on multiple occasions, provided caring attention to even the most minor ailment (my partner got really sick the second day and her and Hanks efforts are what brought him back to 100% so he could enjoy the rest of the trip!) not to mention she literally dragged my big butt out of a hole I fell in and took time to give me Advil for the minor bangs I got in the process. I will genuinely never forget the experience, it absolutely had its ups and downs and if your not the outdoorsy wilderness type prepare for a transition period as your body acclimates, BUT, do not write this off because it's a little bit difficult or might push you a little. You will never experience the grand canyon with the same intimacy, you will never see stars so bright, you will never grow so close to a group of complete strangers this fast. It's absolutely not your "Reading a book on a beach" type of vacation, you will likely return home and feel you need another vacation, but if you're on the edge, if you're wondering if you should do it, my answer is, without hesitation, DO IT!"

What travelers are saying

"Geoff helped my wife and I to put together an itinerary that customized to our particular interests and preferences. At the outset he asked us where we'd like to go and, after a small number of iterations, together we were able able to craft an itinerary that met our budget, touched on much of the places we wanted, and did not have us staying at a different resort each night. Before leaving for our trip we were given our itinerary and confirmation #'s/vouchers/contact #'s for all of our activities and hotels captured in an easy-to-use app that made it extremely easy to transition to the next point of our journey. He and his assistant were quick to respond to any questions we had along the way as well. Overall, we had a great stay and highly endorse Geoff and RealNZ for anyone planning a bespoke trip to NZ."

What travelers are saying

"I've just returned from my trip to China, a week ago. I've seen many-many interesting places of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. But most of all i liked my 2-days trip to Longshen villages with my guide Frank from chinahighlights. The day before our trip has started, in Guilin, Frank met me in hotel and told about our journey. Next 2 days we visited traditional ancient chinese villages (the biggest from them are Ping'an and Dazhai), walking around them, saw the rice-terraces landscape (it was really unbelievable). Also we had a hiking between villages, and stayed at night at ZhongLiu village. I haven't seen any tourists in this village, even chinese tourists. It was fantastic cause we've seen real chinese life of local people, including, for example, planting vegetables, collecting tea). Very quiet, fresh air, natural food. Yes, in this village almost no shops, no souvenirs, but you dont need them. All around you a hundred times better. I advice all, who wants to see real chinese life, visit this place, especially this village, stay at night there. Thanks very much to my guide Frank and chinahighlights for this trip!"

River Rafting Tour Selection Trips

  • There are many grades of difficulty in river rafting. Be sure you know what you're signing up for! White water is a thrill but not what you want to do if you were looking forward to drifting calmly downstream.
  • Heed age restrictions. White water rafting can be dangerous, and children under a certain age should not participate - mainly because they're too light. 
  • Often, tours will incorporate river rafting into their activity list. So it's possible to find a trip that doesn't focus exclusively on river rafting, and leaves a lot of room for other outdoor interests you may have.
