Experience the thrill of whitewater rafting just outside Yosemite National Park on this exciting half-day journey down the Merced River. Whether you're an early bird or prefer afternoon adrenaline, this trip offers flexible start times and roaring rapids.
During spring’s high-water season, paddle 11 scenic miles through churning Class III-IV whitewater. As summer progresses and flows ease, the journey transitions to a gentle, family-friendly 5-mile run through the Merced Gorge. Ideal for adventure seekers, first-timers, and nature lovers alike, this unforgettable trip is a perfect way to escape the crowds and embrace the wild beauty of the Sierra foothills.

Shuttle to Launch Point
Hop on the shuttle that takes you from our meeting area to the river’s put-in spot. Enjoy the scenic ride.
