Oregon River Experiences offers the finest in guided
trips on
ten of the Northwest's best rivers.
Our trips range from relaxing family floats to thrilling whitewater rafting
adventures, from half-day, 1 and 2 day
get-a-ways near Portland and other Oregon towns to 3, 4 and 5 day wilderness
journeys in both Oregon and Idaho.
From April through October we run
guided, outfitted raft trips on the
Rogue,
Clackamas,
Salmon,
Deschutes,
Owyhee,
Umpqua,
Santiam,
Grande Ronde,
Upper
John Day,
Lower John Day and
McKenzie rivers. We've been
sharing adventures with our guests since 1978, and we're proud of the
trips we offer. You won't find a better vacation anywhere!
Our business – and our passion – is to
provide our guests with unique, rejuvenating vacations. Rafting
with O.R.E. is different, and this difference is reflected in our name. Ours
are not simply river trips, they’re deeply satisfying river experiences. We create rare and unique experiences designed
to meet your vacation needs. With all the details professionally handled for you
by our experienced staff, you’ll feel safe and at ease, and you’ll return
home relaxed, renewed and rejuvenated.
We’re the
Portland
metro area’s only full-time, statewide rafting outfitter. No one offers a
wider range of
Oregon
(and
Idaho
) whitewater river trips. Yet we’re a relatively small, owner-operated company
– not part of some large, distant
corporation. Small means you’ll receive
personalized service both before and during your trip, and when you call or
email us you’ll typically reach our owner, not an administrative assistant or
an answering service. Small also means we don’t spread ourselves thin in
attempts to run hiking trips in
Peru, sea kayaking trips in
Australia, or the like. We stick to what we know well – rafting trips in the
Pacific Northwest
– and we do it right. Finally, small means we’re committed to keeping our
costs down and our overhead low, so our prices are very reasonable. We think
you’ll find that an O.R.E. trip is an excellent value for your vacation
dollar.
