Q&A

Q: What age limit is there for this whitewater rafting experience?

A: The minimum age for the Boca to Floriston Run is 6 years old. Kids that age and older can enjoy the thrills of Class III rapids! Just make sure they meet the weight requirements for the life jackets, which are provided. It's great for families, but I recommend checking on the weather beforehand.

Q: How do the wetsuits work? Do I need to bring my own?

A: You don't need to bring your own wetsuit; they’re included in the package! The company provides wetsuits and splash jackets, which is super handy if it's chilly. Just wear a swimsuit underneath, and you should be good to go. They even have options for colder weather, so check the forecast before you head out.

Q: What if the weather's bad on the day of the trip? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather looks bad, you can absolutely reschedule your trip for another date! Just call Tahoe Whitewater Tours in advance, and they’ll help you find a new time that works. Safety is their priority, and they won’t take you out if conditions aren’t safe. So no worries there!

Thinking of gifting a Truckee River rafting experience for my friend's birthday!

I want to get my buddy something awesome for his birthday, and I stumbled upon this Boca to Floriston Run! He’s never done rafting but loves adventure. I’m curious if the rapids are too intense for a newbie? Also, what's the parking situation like near Boca? Any tips would be appreciated!

Just did the Boca to Floriston Run and it was epic!

Wow, I just came back from this rafting trip on the Truckee River, and it was such a rush! The rapids were super fun, and the scenery is truly stunning. I didn't expect those swimming pools between rapids, which were a nice break! We had a mix of first-timers and seasoned rafters in our group, and everyone had a blast. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun outdoor adventure!
