About Northwest Rafting Company
Northwest Rafting Company is a Hood River-based outfitter specialising in multi-day wilderness rafting expeditions across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Founded and headquartered on Tucker Road just outside downtown Hood River, they have built a reputation as one of the premier multi-day rafting operators in Oregon, guiding guests down some of the most iconic rivers in the American West.
Their trip roster includes multi-day adventures on Oregon's Wild and Scenic Rogue River, Idaho's Middle Fork of the Salmon, the Owyhee River through the high desert canyon country, and the Deschutes River steelhead trips. Most expeditions run three to five days with all meals, camping gear, and guide services included. They also offer day trips on the White Salmon and Klickitat Rivers for visitors with less time. Group sizes are kept small to preserve the wilderness experience, and guides are trained in swift-water rescue and natural history interpretation.
What sets Northwest Rafting Company apart is their commitment to remote, roadless river canyons that most outfitters never reach. Their logistics team handles everything from shuttle vehicles to gourmet riverside meals, so guests can focus on the scenery, rapids, and wildlife. For Hood River visitors looking for more than a half-day float, NW Rafting delivers genuine backcountry river adventures.
