California Rafting Outfitters

There are an amazing number of rafting outfitters in the state of California. Most are "mom and pop" companies that provide personal service and smaller sized trips. Some outfitters are large corporations focused on larger sized trips that run many different rivers. Each river company also hires guides that have varied style and personality.

The outfitters provide the river permits, insurance, equipment, trained guides, and shuttles. Most are in the rafting business because they love river rafting and running trips.
