Book Now Overview Enjoy 18 Miles of the best whitewater in California, right outside of Yosemite National Park. The BEST whitewater rafting near Yosemite National Park. There’s a lot of whitewater on the Tuolumne, a whole lot. Over 40 named rapids in 18 miles and probably another 40 that would have names if they were anywhere else. The Tuolumne River, considered the greatest rafting experience in California, has everything a world class trip would offer: consistent class four whitewater, a long season (thanks to reliable dam-controlled summer flows), stunning isolated wilderness scenery, and close proximity to Yosemite National Park. Born high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, from 13,000-foot Mount Lyell Glacier to its confluence with the San Joaquin, the river flows through some of the most inspiring and scenic country in California. Our 1, 2 and 3-day trips begin their journey down a four wheel drive road deep in a remote canyon, away from the hustle of the Park and about 23 miles downstream from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Trips cover 18 miles of inspiring whitewater and end at Don Pedro Reservoir.

August, Carter, Tate, and Brice were friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and very hospitable for our long 1-day Tuolumne river trip. There's something about a sandwich on the side of a river after a few hours of paddling that makes it the best sandwich you've ever had. The swimming rapid and rock jump were very fun bonuses on our already thrilling day. I would certainly book another ARTA trip, and I think they convinced me to try a multi-day trip too." Sam Jaros Tuolumne River Rafting "All of your guides were AMAZING. They: saved my life a hundred times over, were friendly without being fake, knew “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episodes and could recount them in great detail, did comedy routines from that Disney movie “Madagascar”, and took us to some of the most beautiful places on earth. I mean, lots of people can make good food and I suppose lots of people know how to guide rafts down whitewater with a bunch of amateurs, but really, those guides you employ are what make your trips special. They were just wonderful, real people." Laura Boles Tuolumne River Rafting "Incredibly fun guides and cool group of people. Exceeded my already high expectations for what the trip would be.tu " Matthew MacLean Tuolumne River Rafting "Great river. Friendly guides. Environmentally conscious." David Gordon Tuolumne River Rafting "Over the top service and THE GUIDES. The guides make a beautiful trip an EPIC experience." Nicole Deschermeier Tuolumne River Rafting "I came in with zero expectations, and was blown away. And the quality of the staff (their professionalism, service, the food) was above and beyond." Greg G Tuolumne River Rafting "Really, it's clear that every guide was unique and comfortable being themselves and contributing. I was in Mikey's boat and LOVED all his history and geology lessons. Dawn was clearly a thoughtful, masterful trip leader. The other guides went out of their way to have one-on-one conversations with me and worked hard to learn everyone's name. By far the best set of guides I've ever had on a trip (at least my fifth or sixth rafting trip in the last 20+ years)." Kate McFadden Tuolumne River Rafting "Absolutely epic trip. The ARTA guides are the real deal. Great balance of fun, relaxation, and challenges. They work so hard to make your trip awesome, it's pretty mind blowing. Food is second to none; best camping trip food you will ever have, and probably better than the last meal you had before you left town. This is a great trip to do with group; bring your adventure mindset and have a blast disconnecting from the grind, in nature." Sean Davis Tuolumne River Rafting "My favorite parts were Clavey Falls, the whole second day, and bacon."

Manufactured in the USA by Wing Inflatables, the same company used by the US Navy Seals, these boats are fully outfitted for aggressive whitewater use with foot cups for each paddler, oversized tubes for added stability, heavy duty polyurethane material for durability and a fully customized inflatable floor for quick self-bailing. In addition, we pair each boat with heavy duty over-engineered custom designed wooden oars made exclusively for the Tuolumne River by Sawyer Oars. The added security knowing that our equipment is as top-of-the line as it gets is extremely important to us, and we are proud to be the only outfitter on the river with an exclusive fleet of these incredible Wing boats. Oar Paddle Combo Rafts Oar-paddle combination rafts are 14 to 16 feet long and are steered by a guide using two oars and assisted by a team of 2 to 6 paddlers riding in the front and actively paddling through the rapids. Paddle Rafts Paddle rafts are 14 to 16 feet long and are powered by 4 to 6 paddlers plus a guide. You will be sitting along the outside of the raft and actively paddling through the rapids. Gear Boats Gear boats or Gear Rafts are 17 feet long, carry all of the overnight gear and no passengers. They are rowed by a guide using wooden oars attached to a metal frame and generally travel in front or in back of all passenger carrying rafts. Often, the gear boats will break away from the group by mid-day and row to set up camp ahead of the main group. About the water levels The Tuolumne is a dam-controlled river, but because it has a large watershed and small reservoirs, it behaves like a wild river in the spring. High water conditions last for one to seven weeks and peak around the first of June. During the high-water period, the river has many solid Class IV+ and Class V rapids and everyone should be in good physical condition and ready for a challenging day on the river. All one-day trips are long and arduous and include two formidable shuttles, an intricate warm-up session, 18 miles of challenging river, at least one extended scout, and only a short stop for lunch. All guests should anticipate and be ready for a full day. As the season progresses, we conduct 2 and 3 day trips which are less rushed and allow more time to enjoy the beauty and solitude of the canyon. Weather During the summer, the temperatures in the Tuolumne Canyon often reach into the high 90s. Springtime temperatures can range from the 60’s to the 80’s, and rain is more likely. If your trip is before June 15, come prepared for cool temperatures and cold water. We can and do supply wetsuits on colder days as well as splash tops to help keep you dry. Camping Overnight camping will be done at riverside beaches with spectacular views of the river and canyon. Guides will set up a full kitchen, dining area, drink and appetizer zone, and our ‘living room’ with chairs set up for each guest, a library of books and camp games. Guests will have the freedom to explore and pick out their own unique spot to set up their tents away from the central area, and guides are available to help. Our toilet facilities, and a hand-wash station will be set up in an isolated (and usually beautiful) location; going to the bathroom in the wilderness is surprisingly pleasant, keep in mind we set up the toilet facilities away from camp, a short walk to the toilet, often on uneven ground is part of the deal. Meals and Drinks ARTA meals are AMAZING! Guests are often shocked at how wonderful our meals are in a back-country setting. We bring the highest quality ice chests to keep meats, fruits and veggies fresh for the duration of the trip. Meals are designed for foodies (adults) and the occasional picky eater (kids!) alike. Guests can expect to start each day with fresh coffee and well-balanced breakfast, snacks are available throughout the day in the rafts, lunch is prepared riverside with many options, and appetizers are served to kick off the dinner hour early-evening with our main courses and desert to wrap up each day. We are happy to accommodate special dietary request/requirements. Please let us know in your pre-trip registration. We provide water, sports drink powder during the day, and hot coffee, tea, and cocoa in the morning. If you would like soda, beer, wine, or liquor at camp, please bring your own and we will have coolers/ice for you! Please bring beer/soda in cans, we can accommodate wine and liquor in glass bottles. Please bring what you plan to consume. Wildlife Large game can be hard to find deep in the Tuolumne canyon. However, bird life is plentiful: Heron, Hawks, Bald Eagles, & Ospreys are often seen as well as a wide assortment of smaller birds. Trip Insurance Because life is full of surprises, we suggest you consider purchasing supplemental travel insurance for your trip. Trip cancellation, evacuation, baggage loss and other coverages are available for between 8% and 15% of your trip cost. You can get more information through ASI Travel Insurance Services (please select American River Touring Association from the drop down menu). Fishing The Fishing on the Tuolumne can be tricky but is very rewarding. Typically angling for trout is best done in the morning and evenings when the water is a little lower. Don’t forget your California fishing license. Local Attractions Yosemite National Park: A no-brainer. Taking a Tuolumne trip and not visiting Yosemite would be like going to Hawaii and not swimming in the ocean. The popular Valley attractions are the Mist Trail (anytime, but particularly in the spring), Yosemite Falls and strolling along the Merced River. A quick drive out to Glacier Point is stunning. A visit to Tuolumne Meadows will give you a new perspective on the Park (meadows vs. cliffs). Gratuities If you truly enjoy your trip, tipping is a great way to show your appreciation. Tipping is optional and personal, but since a lot of people ask, a customary amount is between 10 and 15 percent of the trip cost. Tips can be given to the Lead Guide who will share them with the entire crew. And the entire crew will appreciate them and put them to good use. (And thank you.)

(It's what the cool kids wear) Optional extra warmth: Fleece cap, gloves, & or wetsuit booties During the summer It is usually warm and sunny on the Tuolumne so you won’t need much.

On Cool Days You will want a thick, synthetic fleece top, (pullovers are best). We will supply you with a waterproof shell called a "splash top" to go over your fleece. Below this we will provide a "farmer john" style wetsuit. A sythentetic long sleeve below your fleece can also be nice to help keep you warm and if it does get hot, it can also provide you with extra sun protection. Don’t bring a cotton sweatshirt for on the water, but it will work great at camp if it's not going to rain.
