Does anyone have any experience with a whitewater rafting/ camping trips. I am planning a guys weekend (3-4 day) trip. My father-in-law recommended Orange Torpedo as a guide company and I have found a few others online. There will be a lot of beer consumed so I am weary of some of the "family" oriented trips. Summary of what I am looking for is:

individual inflatable kayaks
high beer consumption
good rapids, nothing that would get old after a few days, but most guys would be first timers.
Fishing would be a perk

I am not too concerned with location, it seems NorCal, Oregon and Idaho, but I am more interested in an overall good time. Any advice is appreciated.

lol, good rapids, first timers, individual rafts and mass beer consumption......sounds like a recipe for somethin  :smt001



I haven't done any overnighters but the couple rafting trips I took were a blast.  The guides we were with were pretty chill, I'm sure if you call around and let them know what kind of party you're lookin for they will provide you a guide that can make it a good time and still be safe.

I tend to be a safety 3rd kind of guy but the first timers in individual boats thing would kind of sketch me out.
I recommend Mariah on the AR but they wont cover the fishing part.
