ROAM: Revolutionizing Adventure since 1986
After working the rivers and coastlines in Canada, United States, New Zealand and Australia, we founded a wilderness rafting and kayaking operation called Rivers & Oceans Unlimited. For more than 15 years R&O facilitated first class expeditions throughout Western Canada and Alaska. In 1999, we changed to the R.O.A.M. umbrella, which better reflects the mountainous nature of our travel and began to carefully develop a variety of international locales.
Although we are still a small family-owned operation, ROAM has facilitated trips for O.A.R.S., Mountain Travel Sobek, GORP, American Express, World Wildlife Fund, Butterfield & Robinson and Virtuoso, to name a few.Our style of trips has revolutionized the adventure industry in a positive manner as we’ve continually raised the bar for levels of service and creativity.
From the inception of R&O to the foundation of R.O.A.M., we have been the industry leader in providing the best guides, gear, and highest level of service and comfort without compromising the integrity of the locales we visit. We encourage you to contact about our trips so you can make a date for an adventure of a lifetime.
R.O.A.M. founder, Brian McCutcheon has worked as an international guide since the early eighties. With experience ranging from first descents, golf pro, movie stunt man, product manager, marketing director to college instructor, Brian’s keen attention to detail and service helps make our trips extraordinary. His enthusiasm is infectious and you will be guaranteed to have fun.
R.O.A.M. Director, George Wendt’s roots lie deep in the Grand Canyon where he pioneered oar-powered rafting on the Colorado back in 1969. Since then, George has built his company, O.A.R.S., into the U.S.A.’s largest and most diverse rafting, sea kayaking and multi-sport operator below the 49th parallel. With operations in 7 states, the South Pacific and a plethora of international departures, O.A.R.S. has become a household name for adventure.
Together, R.O.A.M. and O.A.R.S. combine owner-operator expertise with a global network of trip experience.
