Today, as far as river trips go, the Boca- Floriston Run on the Truckee River has everything a first time rafter as well as a seasoned rafter could want! Containing technical intermediate rapids, relaxing pools to swim in, and beautiful Tahoe National Forest scenery, the Truckee has it all. Being the first company to run commercially guided trips down the Truckee, our experience on it is unmatched! This half day tour begins at the historical townsite of Boca, now home to Boca Reservoir. The run starts off easy with slow moving water through boulder gardens creating a perfect setting to introduce first time rafters to the river. Following that are long flat swimming areas perfect to cool off in on a hot summers day. The rapids continue to build towards an exhilarating finish in the Floriston Gorge. For those who are looking for a great introduction to whitewater join us for an amazing day on our most popular run. You’ll find it’s the perfect adventure for everyone in your group!
