Rogue River Thrill Seeker

Overview

The Rogue River thrill seeker is the trip for the group who can’t decide on the experience they want so they choose to do it all. In the morning paddle yourself in an inflatable kayak through the pristine pools in the bottom of Hellgate Canyon. Take on some adventure and paddle yourself through the class II rapids of the Rogue River in your own inflatable kayak! Our guides will teach you the skills and show you the lines, but paddling through will be all you, and you can certainly do it!

Mid-day the group will enjoy lunch on our patio between games of ladder golf. After you have had your fill we load in the van for a short drive to the put-in for the Nugget Falls section of the Rogue River. This section of the river has much bigger whitewater so we load into a paddle raft where you paddle as part of a team through the frothing torrents. The afternoon section builds in difficulty, culminating in the famous Tilomikh falls, a combination of two drops plummeting over 10 feet in total.

We went on the Thrill Seeker over Labor Day weekend. In the morning we had Kalen and the kayaks. What a great trip. The river was ours. Kalen was wonderful and very informative, we learned a bunch of stuff and afterwards we had confidence that we could kayak on our own if we wanted to (as long as we didn’t try to be too brave). In the afternoon we had Captain Garrett. Our boat had a couple about our age from Georgia and their son and his girlfriend. What a great boat!!! Garrett did most of the work and we were grateful. Our arms we weak from the morning trip. Garrett was so stoked because he got air on Nugget. When we were surfing, he got a chance to come up front with us to get into the video!!!! We had so much fun. At the office, everyone was very professional, polite and helpful. I never felt we were a bother. Dealing with the public is hard work but the staff made it look easy. At the Torpedo Bar, Quin was a hoot. At lunch she made us feel so welcome. After our day on the river was over, we sat and talked for a couple hours over beer and felt like family. Kalen joined us and we made new friends. We’ve invited them up to our place any time they want to come. I’m so happy we did this trip. If anyone is on the fence about Orange Torpedo or the Thrill Seeker, we are two overweight, middle 50’s people who demand excellence and would come back again. As for the Thrill Seeker, we are two overweight middle 50’s people who did it! If we can do it, anyone can. Thanks for a great birthday!!!!!

Every part of the experience was amazing! The scenery is beautiful, the rapids are exciting and challenging, and the staff is wonderful. Both halves of the trip are sprinkled with short opportunities to catch your breath and enjoy the bounty of natural beauty between adrenaline-inducing rapids. While each whitewater section presents a unique challenge, it's at a very doable pace. I never felt like I couldn't keep up, but I was certainly never bored! The guides are knowledgeable, skilled, and engaging, making the experience even more enjoyable and memorable. I'd recommend Garrett, Dietz, Spencer, and Quinton because they give clear directions about safety and technique, yet still make sure you're having plenty of fun. The entire experience exceeded every possible expectation I could've had. If you do only one outdoorsy in the Rogue Valley, make it an Orange Torpedo trip!!

Thanks so much for the kind words! Great to hear you loved your day on the Rogue River and that both parts of this trip matched what you were looking for. I’m glad you enjoyed those guides and thanks for recommending them. I hope we get to see you again on your next trip in the area.

What an amazing day in such a beautiful place. Spencer and Omar were wonderful and made us feel at ease. My 14 year old was beyond nervous for the class IV rapids, but by the end of day was vying for more! This day, especially the afternoon was one adrenaline filled day! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for some serious fun!
