River Rafting Itinerary

The Class IV Half Day is located on the Big Five section on the Lower Kern river. This trip is popular as it has everything: Calm pools, thrilling rapids, and a jump rock. Best of all, the road pulls away from the river, allowing you to enjoy the Lower Kern canyon in solitude.

Class IV Half Day FAQs

There are six rapids on this trip and plenty of unnamed Class II. The named rapids are Surprise, Hari Kari, Horseshoe Falls, Sidewinder A, Sidewinder B, & Pinball. These are some of the most exciting rapids on the Lower Kern.

Depending on group size and which rafts we use, we fit between 4 and 6 guests in each paddle raft. As often as we can, we try to keep groups together in the same raft too.

The minimum age is 12 years old.
