OUR RAFTING TRIPS

From Action- Packed to Family Class

Trips on the Kaweah River have action-packed Class III-V for the Upper-6 mile section and Class III fun for the Lower-4 mile section. The KWA outpost is located at the stunning Slicky Falls, a top highlight of the whole Kaweah River. Locally owned and operated since 1995, KWA has top-quality guides for top-quality whitewater.

Our half day trip options and close proximity to Sequoia National Park means you can experience high-adventure rafting and still have time to visit Sequoia National Park or any other local attractions in Three Rivers.
