Orion River Rafting’s Story
Orion River Rafting wasn't created to make money.
It wasn't designed to take advantage of a niche.
People, Purpose, Pleasure and, then Profits.
That has always been our mantra. Our hallowed mission statement.
After four decades and five years, it is still a work in progress, but that remains our goal.
Our Staff
Passionate about teaching river rafting from A to Z, and back again.
