This half-day whitewater rafting trip runs along the Truckee River from Boca to Floriston, located near Lake Tahoe. The guided boat tour covers about 3.5 hours on the water, moving through a mix of intermediate Class III rapids and calm swimming areas. The trip begins at Boca, where the river flows gently through boulder gardens, making it suitable for first-time rafters. Between rapids, you can relax and swim in flat sections of the river, which offer a cool break on warm days. After these easier stretches, the rapids increase in difficulty, reaching Class III+ as the river passes through Floriston Gorge, providing a more challenging finish. The guide company has extensive experience operating on the Truckee River and provides all necessary safety equipment. This includes personal flotation devices, helmets, and wetsuits or splash jackets if the weather is cold. Transportation back to the meeting point after the trip is included. The tour departs near Truckee, California, a historic town known for its 19th-century buildings and mountain setting, which lies close to the starting point of the river run. This rafting trip is suitable for most people aged seven and older who meet health and weight requirements and can handle active outdoor activity.
