Central Oregon's mighty Deschutes River is one of the most popular Oregon whitewater rafting venues, and for good reason. White Horse, Buckskin Mary, Trout Creek, Boxcar, and other colorfully named rapids stud the river's course, amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Deschutes River Canyon.
HDRO offers a variety of guided rafting trips on the Deschutes river to suit your needs, ranging from relaxing family outings to high-adrenaline whitewater adventures. We provide wetsuits, splash jackets and booties for these trips.
Equipment
Our rafts are all new state of the art, equipped with all the essential river accessories that are necessary for a safe and successful trip, including life-jackets, paddles, oars, dry bags, frames, ropes, etc. In addition, we provide all the necessary permits and insurance before each trip.
Gourmet
Deli & Barbeque Lunches
Rafting the river takes a lot of energy, that's why our guides prepare all your meals (included in the price) and take care of all the clean-up afterward.
We provide our famous gourmet Deli Lunches and Back Country Barbeque Lunches. When you're having the time of your life, a great lunch provides the perfect mid-adventure break with your companions and fellow rafters.
This 3-hour trip is a great experience for the novice as well as rafters who desire a high desert adventure. This is our most affordable trip for those who want to make a quick splash and get back to camp to enjoy the rest of the day. Because this trip is short, lunch is not included. We run this trip 3 times a day on Friday and Sunday, then 2 times a day the rest of the week. 1st @9:30am the 2nd @11:30am and 3rd @ 1:30pm

Whichever option you choose, you can count on plenty of exciting rapids and our best riverside cuisine.
This popular trip starts at Warm Springs and continues 55 miles to Sandy Beach. Fewer miles on the river each day allows more free time at camp to relax, hike, fish or just enjoy the sun and scenery. Some exciting rapids you will encounter are White-Horse, Buckskin Mary, Boxcar, and Oak Springs. All meals will be provided (beginning with breakfast the first day and ending with lunch the final day).
