Celebrating our 30th Year of Offering Whitewater Rafting to the Residents and Guests of Central Oregon!
How time flies…it was 1978 when Dennis Oliphant and a handful of Bend ski bums started offering rafting trips on the Deschutes River. Now 30 years later Sun Country Raft Tours has matured into the West's finest River Outfitting Company. Thanks to all of our past guests, staff and partners for making these past 30 years a huge success. We look forward to serving you in the future!
Snow, snow, snow means Great Rafting this summer. Book your trip today!
It's been years since the Cascade Mountains have seen snowfall amounts like this winter. This means only one thing for whitewater rafting come spring and summer: Great family fun rafting! Trips will begin at the end of April but you can book your trip now on-line at www.suncountrytours.com, or by calling one of our friendly staff at 800-770-2161.
