3-DAY DESCHUTES RIVER ADVENTURE

Starting at $595 per person ($475 per child, 12 and under)

Minimum: 8 people    Maximum: 12 people

A Deschutes trip is the best overnight family rafting trip in the Pacific Northwest. An overnight rafting trip on the Deschutes River offers rapids, fishing opportunities, family fun, hiking, swimming, adventure, and more. The Deschutes River flows north toward the Columbia River from Warm Springs, Oregon to Heritage Landing State Park --- almost 100 miles of free flowing water.

An overnight river rafting trip with Orion Expeditions includes all meals from lunch on the very first day through lunch on the last day, professional guides, camping gear (with the exception of sleeping bags), a courtesy shuttle arranged at the river, and all necessary river gear. When you are not challenging the whitewater rapids in a paddle raft, you can hike, fish, swim, float the rapids in your lifejacket, or just relax in camp --- sipping your favorite beverage, contemplating the high desert scenery while reading a book.

Specialty river trips available upon request. The Deschutes is perfect for bachelor parties, bachelorette parties, wine tasting, youth groups and meditative retreats. Groups of 8 or more.
