ROAM - Rivers Oceans & Mountains

Traveling wth Rivers, Oceans and Mountains

Why Roam?

ROAM sets the industry standard for high quality service and excellence. For more than 20 years we have led our guests to some of the most beautiful places on Earth, never losing sight of one of our foremost goals: to make the joys of the wilderness accessible to everyone – no matter how experienced.

The ROAM Advantage

All Play and No Work. (Unless you really want to.)

Right from the start, R.O.A.M. does the tough stuff – leaving you the glory of discovery, without the grunt. Based on your input, we will help you choose a personally-suited expedition or safari. From there on, we do the planning, the cooking, the loading and detailing. Kick back and soak it all in. But if you yearn for a recollection of the rugged, rough and tumble - try our exploratory routes.

Safe and Sound

You can't promise reliability and responsibility if you haven't got the experience to back that promise up. R.O.A.M. has it. We've been running trips down some of the West's biggest rivers since the 80's and have many first descents to our credit. More importantly, our safety record is exemplary. That gives you the freedom to rest assured, whether you take it to the limit, or lay back and lounge. Guaranteed.

Just Do It... All

Our trips offer adventurous pursuits of all modes and methods - not just paddling. Sure, we raft and kayak some of the world's greatest waters. But we also fish, ride, mountain bike, hike, walk, trek and teach.

The Most Famous Journey of All? Yours.

A R.O.A.M. vacation is your vacation. You're not a client with a "Hi My Name Is…" sticker. You're a member of the crew, a guest, a student and a friend. Our aim is to ensure that your questions, interests and requests are answered and satisfied. That's why our guest-to-guide ratio is the lowest in the business.

Tent or Temple?

Some like it wild and wet. Others like it calm and quaint. Just like our vast selection of itineraries, R.O.A.M. accommodations come in every style, size and shape. Sleep under the stars, tent on a sandy riverbank, cozy up in a log lodge or get glamorous in a five-star guest ranch. Any way, they'll be nights to remember.

We Take Care of Everything

Expert Guides, water craft, wilderness gear, charter flights - it's all included. Our gear is always the best on the market. Because we have operated these trips ourselves for almost two decades, you can count on our researchers, planners and guides to get everything right.

 

"The intensity of a whitewater experience seems to double a person's distance from jobs, freeways, home cities and workaday responsibility. It sharpens all senses, hones your physicality, deepens your ability to fully inhabit a moment and take delight in the natural world. More than simple immersion, whitewater offers a literal baptism into an old, yet eternally fresh way of life."
-Paul McHugh, San Francisco Chronicle
