• You can buy a Rafting Trip Certificate for yourself, as a gift for someone else, or both.
• Pre-select a specific trip option, covering the cost in full (but paying 25% less), or choose any dollar amount to apply toward a future trip.
• If the recipient decides to do a different trip, we’ll apply the value of the Certificate to their preferred experience.
• Any remaining balance stays on the Certificate for future use.
• If the new trip costs more, the difference is due at the regular rate.
• Once a reservation is made using the Certificate, or if the trip was scheduled at the time of purchase, the reservation follows our peace-of-mind Cancellation Policy.

• If the Certificate is for you: You’ll receive an email confirmation with your name, reference number, the Face and Paid Values (for example: Face Value $100; Paid Value $75). If based on a specific trip, the accompanying invoice will name the trip option.


• If the Certificate is a gift: We’ll create a custom Certificate per your instructions. It will include a personalized greeting (like “Happy Holidays” or “Happy Birthday”, etc.), To/From lines (may be left blank for you to fill), a reference number, the Face Value (based on a specific trip or dollar amount), and booking instructions.
