Raft California will provide the following gear/items for all our rafting trips:
PFD
Personal Floatation Device/Life-Jacket
Paddles
Don't want to be up a creek without one...
HELMET
So seagulls don't poke you in the coconut!
Flip Flops
We recommend river sandles or old tennis shoes
No Pets
Unfortunately claws and rafts don't mix
VALUABLES
If you don't want to lose it, don't take it down the river
We urge you to leave your valuables at home. If you wish to bring a camera, please provide a case (preferably waterproof). However, it will not be possible to photograph during rapids.
On our Truckee, Trinity, South Fork American, and Middle Fork American River trip – Professional photographers are positioned along the banks taking photos of us running the rapids. These photos are available for sale at the end of the trip and the companies are in no way associated with Raft California. We do have links directly to their websites.
Extra money may be needed for meals en route to and from you trip, for souvenir T-shirts and photographs or a guide tip.
