Poconos Whitewater Rafting

We run the most personalized VIP Rafting and Kayaking trips on the Lehigh River in the Poconos. We use a unique format of limiting the trip sizes (average 30 people) and with extra highly trained river guides this allows you, the guest, to be safer, see more wildlife, learn more history and have way more fun! Our competitors run trips with an average size of over 120-200 people. Get ready for the best day outdoors you’ll have all year!

Our Poconos Whitewater Rafting Adventure guides are professionally trained, have been guiding, teaching kayaking and whitewater rafting for over 40 years on the Lehigh River and elsewhere! You will have the best service, most value and the thrill of your life! Pocono Whitewater Rafting Tours are available daily but some of the biggest Poconos Whitewater thrills fall on the weekends throughout the season when there are dam releases. These sell out quickly so please book ahead.
