Carbon Neutral Travel


As you know, O.A.R.S. has voluntarily committed to offset 100% of carbon releases from the vehicles used to transport our guides and gear, any internal trip flights and all passenger transportation included in your trip, but we’d also like you to consider offsetting the air and/or land transportation portion of your trip (from your home city to the starting point of the trip). It’s easy to do and surprisingly inexpensive. It’s also an easy way to help our environment and feel good about how you travel. If you choose to offset your transportation and energy use, O.A.R.S. will match your contribution, dollar for dollar, up to a combined 100%. Learn more…

California & the Pacific Northwest - By means of water we give life to your dreams…


O.A.R.S. adventures in California and the Pacific Northwest are all about diversity. While California offers adrenaline-infused paddles on the Merced, American, Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers, O.A.R.S. brings you a gentler side too, with family-friendly options on the Lower Klamath and Oregon’s Rogue River to the north.

And most of these trips are just a stone’s throw from other amazing attractions like the Ashland Summer Shakespeare Festival, Yosemite, San Francisco and Napa Valley. Further north, O.A.R.S. trips go off the beaten path for outstanding rafting and multi-sport adventures on the Chilko, Chilcotin and Klinaklini rivers in British Columbia.

Tuolumne River

Pick from a thrill-stacked day trip or a more leisurely 2- or 3-day camping experience on California’s premier whitewater river. Just a short drive from Sacramento, Tahoe, Yosemite and the Bay Area, the Tuolumne delivers a true wilderness experience, spilling 18 miles into a pristine, awesome canyon roaring with whitewater - big in spring, moderate in late summer.
