California White Water Rafting Trips:
Tuolumne River Yosemite Rafting - Majesty and Magic!

Rafting Adventures on the Tuolumne RiverJust west of Yosemite National Park, an easy 140 mile drive from the San Francisco, Bay Area, stunning granite boulders of the Tuolumne River showcase the blue-green waters of this Wild and Scenic river.

Clear and cool, the Tuolumne thunders and plunges through a grand succession of boulder gardens and spectacular cascades, moving in patterns that are frolicsome, tangled and mesmerizing. The Tuolumne River is one of California's finest, and white water rafters return to it, year after year.

Staircase rapids, chutes, and pools by the score make the Tuolumne a fabulous river adventure.

Rafting Adventures on the Tuolumne RiverBetween Meral's Pool and Ward's Ferry bridge, no roads or other signs of present-day civilization penetrate the Tuolumne River canyon. The place is an Eden of pristine beaches and campsites rich in gold rush and Miwok Indian history featuring not-to-be-missed side-canyon water slides and swimming holes. Scan for bald eagles, river otter, and ring-tailed cat.

On our Classic run, raft rapids including Sunderland's Chute, Hackamack's Hole, Ram's Head, Grey's Grindstone, Hell's Kitchen and the infamous Clavey Falls, a powerful class V drop around which many prudent souls choose to walk.

Tuolumne River Weather:

" This was our second trip up to the Kings River. The staff of Whitewater Voyages outdid themselves. It was great to see many of the same guides and get to meet the new arrivals since last year. As always the staff was very nice, helpful and lots of fun to share the river and camp with. There attention to safety and professionalism made the two day trip on Kings River a great time for all. I would like to especially thank Jenny Irwin for her hard work and patience with our group. She made the trip so much fun last year that we were glad to have her as the camp host and director for this years trip. "
