Rubicon Whitewater Adventures

May be made by mail or telephone. We require a 50 percent deposit with your reservation. Telephone reservations will be held 10 days pending receipt of deposit. The balance of the trip fee is due at least 10 days before the trip. Reservations made within two weeks of trip date require immediate full payment.

FOOD

Rafting is healthy exercise, and the outdoors stimulates one's appetite. We typically plan for hearty meals with freshly prepared food from steak and potatoes to international Epicurean delights. We use fresh, local Sonoma County vegetables and meats when possible. Individuals with dietary restrictions should notify us and we will work to accommodate those needs. We encourage charter groups to help plan their menu.

On day trips, lunch is included, unless otherwise arranged. On over night trips, meals begin with lunch on day one and end with lunch on the last day.

GRATUITIES

Rubicon guides are well compensated and do not expect tips. However, it is customary in this industry to "tip" guides, especially if you feel your guide has contributed substantially towards making your trip exceptional.
