Hands-on adventures--in every sense of the word.
O.A.R.S. president and founder George Wendt, was one of the first to ever go down the Grand Canyon's Colorado River in a raft. That's what inspired him to pass the magic of the water on to others so they too could experience it firsthand. It's fitting that O.A.R.S. also took a maiden voyage down the Colorado River over 35 years ago.

Today, O.A.R.S. has evolved into a truly pre-eminent rafting and sea kayaking adventure company. We offer thrilling expeditions to wild and wondrous places that ensure no moment is ever dull. Let us take your family through the bubbling whitewater of Dinosaur National Monument's Yampa River. Send you and some co-workers heli-rafting down Canada's Klinaklini River with a glacier as your backdrop. Or put you in a sea kayak to paddle beneath the ultra-photographic Tetons in Grand Teton National Park.

Those who travel with us have access to outstanding personal service and the most knowledgeable guides available. We only use state-of-the-art equipment and offer a choice of rafting, sea kayaking, and multi-sport adventures with various levels of activity.

When it comes to accommodations, we go to great lengths to ensure your comfort. From ultra-cozy camps in roomy tents to lodges adorned with thick comforters, our goal is for you to feel right at home. Delicious outdoor breakfasts and gourmet dinners are also served throughout your trip to satisfy the heartiest of appetites.

As the largest and most diverse river company in North America O.A.R.S. also offers a selection of hand-selected international adventures in the enchanted Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, to the archaeological and cultural wonders of Peru, on the world-class whitewater of Chile and in the South Pacific paradise of Fiji.
