You also learn a little about the natural history and local stories of the area while navigating the best lines through the rapids.
This is one of our most popular services for Ohiopyle Rafting. Designed for those people who want maximum adventure without maximum risk. Our guide training exceeds industry standards as well as Pennsylvania state requirements.

Guide Escorted Rafting
You and your friends or family guide and paddle your own boat and we show you the way on continuous Class III whitewater.
Guide Escorted trips are exciting for experienced rafters and athletic folks with a gung-ho attitude. This is where you captain the raft but we drive the trip. We pull the trip over above every major rapid and give you a briefing. While the briefing is occurring we are setting up safety at strategic locations in each rapid to give assistance if needed. We guide you through the rapid with hand signals and safety kayakers. Remember, a guide is not in your raft. You are the captain and crew. This is a popular option for thrill seekers and more experienced rafters.
Our expert guides are in rafts and kayaks to escort your trip. If someone in your raft has an out of boat experience, it is necessary to pull those people back into your raft. Our river staff also position themselves in the rapids if you need more assistance. Our seasoned guides give you instruction in boat handling and offer verbal plans on navigating the best line through each major rapid. Your ability to run the best line is up to you and your crew.
