You'll travel through the lush forests of Southern Oregon as you encounter striking scenery, engage in thrilling rapids and become enchanted by the abundant wildlife. Comfortable campsites complete each day on the river with scrumptious meals prepared by the river guides and plenty of time to play games, hike, fish or relax. Your family will reconnect and your spirit will be revitalized in a natural environment. You will be challenged, yet relaxed as you experience a unique type of vacation that offers a break from the many distractions of modern life.

The Rogue and Illinois Rivers

Choose the family-friendly Rogue River or the often overlooked wild Illinois River. Trips on the Rogue are 4 days and are perfect for kids age 7 and up. Illinois River trips are 3 days and include thrilling Class IV and V whitewater. This trip is not for the faint of heart, but is perfect for experienced rafters that are at least 16 years old and ready for the next thrill. With three different boats to choose from, your trip on either river can be as mild or wild as you want it to be.

The Sundance Kayak School

Sundance is also the trusted name in kayak instruction, and you won't find a better classroom than the Rogue River. We have classes from a simple 1 day Roll Session to a 9-day Kayak Course down the Rogue. Spending your vacation learning these skills can lead to a lifetime of self-support river trips. Courses are designed with beginners or intermediates in mind, or choose the combined course that starts at ground zero and ends with you paddling Class III whitewater.
