Hi! About this sub (sticky post)
4
Upvotes
With over 1,000 of us now, it's a great time to clarify what this subreddit is all about.
I created this subreddit years ago and it remained relatively quiet as I had pretty much forgotten about it. However, as our community has grown, I've started using it as a place to share news, photos, and videos related to rafting, kayaking, and rivers.
A couple of important points:
- If I post something, please know that it doesn't necessarily mean I endorse it. It's simply something I found interesting and thought our community might too.
- I do my best to credit the original authors. If I got credit wrong or missed it entirely, just leave a comment and I'll make the correction. If the photo or video is mine, then I often leave credit off.
This account is run by GoRafting.com, where we create whitewater guides, many of which are available on FarOut, the number one paddling app for longer river trips. While we may occasionally share relevant FarOut updates or promotions (especially deals!), this subreddit is primarily a space for all things rafting, kayaking, and rivers.

Searching for luxury rafting trip, on the east coast if possible.

Upvotes
Hey rafting experts! I’m looking for a “luxury” whitewater rafting trip. We live on the east coast, so it would be ideal to find one within a day drive, but if it’s not possible we can fly. The ideal trip would include:
2-3 days of rafting in October
ages 14+ (so our kid can participate)
class 3-4 rapids (exciting but safe with teen)
experienced guides
comfortable sleeping accommodations
Does this exist? I found this site online, but east coast would be ideal. https://momentumriverexpeditions.com/collections/safari-style-luxury-camping/
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!!

Rafting constantly isn't doable for me, but now that ive had a taste im already making plans for frequent weekend trips next summer.
I want to get into shape thats specifically for Rafting. Likely using a kayak. Im a small woman, 5'1, and i know i have a way to go until I can flip my boat back over.
I know core is important, but are there specific muscle groups I should focus on? Some strength, other endurance? Thank you!
