Half Day Shenandoah Raft Trips

Raft the Shenandoah River Today!


Our shortest rafting options are perfect for beginners or for those with very limited time or those that just want to float and enjoy the river.  Our short trip #1 has become very popular with groups and families alike for its convenience, quick shuttle, Class II rapid, beautiful scenery and take out at our base. Our Shenandoah River rafting trips give you the flexibility to squeeze in a late day paddle or to start early and just let the river float you back.  As with all our trips it’s not the amount of time you take to complete your trip, it’s the mileage. Customers are allowed to complete their trip at their leisure within our hours of operation. If the river’s water level is above normal or high, we recommend choosing the raft as your choice of watercraft.

A FEW RAFT TRIPS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT CERTAIN RIVER LEVELS. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO SELECT THE TRIP YOU PREFER, PLEASE SELECT A TRIP WITH FEWER MILES.

Important Information

Please note that rafting trips are not guided and the rates are per watercraft. You may put up to four people in a 4-person raft and up to six people in a 6-person raft. Rates do not include 5.3% Virginia sales tax.

Minimum age of four years old in rafts – no exceptions!

Shoes or sandals with a heel strap are required for all Shenandoah River trips. We do not allow guests to wear flip-flops.
