Enjoy everything Central Oregon rivers have to offer with Sun Country Tours! Not to mention, if you make it an All-Day Adventure trip, and we will provide lunch.
Whitewater Rafting:
Create unforgettable memories during your visit to Central Oregon. Take the iconic Big Eddy whitewater rafting trip on the beautiful Deschutes River. This trip easily fits into a morning or afternoon, and we love seeing families return every summer for their annual Big Eddy Thriller! Ride class III rapids through three river miles of old-growth forests and lava rock formations. Or take our Raft and Brew Trip for adventurers 21+.
Additionally, reserve a space on our four and a half-hour ride in the North Umpqua Forest. Our guides and most avid guests consider this all-day rafting trip a rare and unique opportunity to adventure off of the beaten path. This breathtaking trip on the North Umpqua River features the scenery of old-growth forest and towering rock spires. Also, don’t miss an opportunity to jump in the river courtesy of Jumper Rock!
Catch a ride from our Bend store to catch class II and III rapids on the McKenzie River. The McKenzie River is a glittering jewel set on the western side of the Cascade Mountains, and sparkling, continuously active waters of the McKenzie are so clear, reflected daylight seems to come up from the riverbed itself. Prepare to be captivated!
Stand up Paddleboarding:
If you are not feeling the whitewater thrills, try one of our guided stand up paddleboard tours! Explore a beautiful and peaceful stretch of the Deschutes River between Dillon and Benham Falls while gaining the unique perspective of a SUP board. Our SUP Tour includes transportation from our Bend Headquarters, high-quality equipment, and expert guidance. You will be able to truly appreciate the beauty of the crystal-clear Upper Deschutes and its incredibly diverse environment from the vantage of a paddleboard.
“As professionals in whitewater rafting adventure, our quest is to have the finest river outfitting company possible, whether judged by our guests, community, or industry peers.” – Dennis Oliphant, founder of Sun Country Tours
