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.

Review for my boyfriend who does not have TripAdvisor (and frankly, sucks at using computers!!).. he and his BFF did the full day Thrill Seeker and they LOVED it, as well as their awesome guide Chris. They had a blast, they learned a ton, and couldn't wait to get back on the river ASAP !

Thanks for writing this review for your boyfriend! We appreciate him joining us and you taking the time to write this for him. Great to hear they enjoyed the TS trip and their time with Chris. He is an awesome river guide who we are fortunate to have on our team. I hope we get to see them (and maybe you) on the river soon!

My wife and I planned a Graduation Trip for our daughter to come back to Grants Pass for a week. My wife and I are from Grants Pass and our kids really don’t know much about the area, except through us. None of our kids had ever floated the Rogue, and we decided to do this trip through OTT. While it would be considered an expensive way to raft the Rogue, truly with a big family (6 people), this is the ONLY way you want to do this trip. Our guide, Chris Shields was truly a professional, and instantly part of our family. Everything on our trip felt personal and brought feelings of our childhood. We got to OTT at 7:45 in the morning, and because of the temperature, we had the option to use a wetsuit. Additionally, in the morning session, you will be in your own kayak and if this is your first trip ever in a kayak, you still will feel immediately safe and sound. We put in at Hog’s Creek and float to Galice for the morning session. At this time, you put out and go back to OTT for a BBQ lunch, hamburgers, potato salad, chips drinks. The afternoon session, you put in before Nugget Falls in Gold Hill and do some fast big water through Tilomikh Falls. Through this part of the trip, you are in a large team raft, traversing and paddling as a team. After this quick two hours, you put out past Tilomikh Falls and go back to OTT. The staff is amazing. Chris Shields is a hilarious guide and is exactly the kind of person you want on this day long trip of laughs, memories and outright beauty. We saw a bald eagle, plenty of other wildlife and now I have four children that feel comfortable enough to come back and raft more and want more challenges. OTT, Aloha and Mahalo! You gave this displaced Grants Pass family in Honolulu exactly what we wanted....a day of amazing memories.

I was able to join in on the Rogue River Thrill Seeker adventure with guides Nick and Leela. I went with my mom, sister and family friend and had such an amazing time!! The employees and guides made the day one to remember and we could not stop talking about our experience to our friends and family! A big thank you to Orange Torpedo Rafting!
