Bára Whitewater Rafting
Raft trip outfitter
👍👍 Jeff has been a tidal bore rafting guide for over 14 years! We really enjoyed our trip with him. He is very knowledgable and since he is a smaller company, he can bring you to cool places the big rafting parties won't bring you to. My husband had a blast mud sliding! We went on a colder and rainy da...

👍👍 Did some DH shuttle runs. Awesome DH trails. Intermediate trails are rough and rooty in spots, some nice small jumps and berms. It's not Whistler but it's great for such a small operation. Great job Keppoch!
