PROTECTING OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

Because we offer so many rivers flowing thru a diversity of eco systems our guides are really able to understand the uniqueness of each experience. When on a rafting trip with Raft California we are not only going to take you on the river, you will become immersed in your natural surroundings. Our guides are stewards of the river, and although they enjoy some gnarly whitewater, also love to share the knowledge of the particular rivers we travel down.

We are always looking for ways to increase our efforts in “going green”, and this is not something new to us. For over 30 years we have been at the forefront of the recycling efforts, moving now into a more digital era to conserve not only the paper resources, but the energy to produce and print.

Some of the examples in which we are conserving:

  • No single use water bottles – we encourage our guests to bring their own insulated water bottle, if they don’t have one they can purchase one from our store or borrow one from our stash
  • Reusable dishes & utensils – plastic plates and metal utensils are used to all our river trip
  • Digital waivers – we try and avoid printing paper waivers and urge or guests to utilize our online waivers that can be signed prior to your rafting trip
  • Less paper in the office – employee schedules and time cards are digital and we encourage direct deposit
  • Our company practices the Leave no Trace and pack it in pack it out methodologies
