Due to the inherent risks involved in rafting, all participants are required to sign an assumption of risk/release of liability waiver. Although we are fully licensed and insured, you participate in river rafting AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Facility Use / Rental Policy
Groups that wish to come early or stay after (1 hour or less) to cook, eat or participate in other activities can do so at no extra cost as long as it is pre-arranged and does not interfere with other customers. Any groups arriving more than an hour early or wish to stay more than an hour after their trip arrives back at our Adventure Center will be charged $100 per additional hour to cover the cost of staff that must remain on site and clean up after everyone has left.
We also have large grills for rent if any group wants to bring their own food to cook after their trip. Grills must be reserved in advance and cost $75 per rental. Propane & grill clean up is included.
Guide in your Raft
The Lehigh is a great beginners river so the majority of our customers can handle navigating their own raft with the help from our guides who work out of kayaks. However some guests do request to have a guide in their raft with them. Guides must be requested in advance and are based on availability. The cost to have a Guide in your raft is $125.00 for the Class III Whitewater trip or $85.00 for the Class II EZ Whitewater & Summer Rafting trip.
Group Gratuity Policy
Organized groups of 24 or more participants will be subject to a $1 per person prepaid gratuity for their Guides . Our Guides work very hard especially when taking a large Youth or Adult Group down the river. Some groups plan on tipping their guides while many camps, schools, & other large groups don’t provide the chaperones they send with any means of payment. This ensures the organization planning the outing is prepared to give a gratuity. If after your trip you feel your Guides did not earn this gratuity please inform our management.
Lost & Found Policy
Whitewater Rafting Adventures is not responsible for lost or stolen items; please keep your belongings with you or locked in your vehicle at all times. Lost & Found items will be held for 90 days, please contact us as soon as possible if you believe you left anything at our facility.
