Rafting

Our rafting staff will assist special needs visitors at the raft entry point, transport their device or chair to the river exit point, and provide transportation for the return trip in an accessible tram.

Cancellations must be made at least 2 hours prior to scheduled session in order to receive a full refund. Any cancellation made less than 2 hours from rafting session time will be nonrefundable.

Please be alert and cautions during your trip. Have fun and enjoy Yosemite.

No experience is necessary to rent a raft and experience the delight of rafting down the river at Yosemite National Park. Life jackets are provided and wearing them is mandatory.

Reservations are currently unable to be made over the phone or online and must be made in person on the day of your desired rafting trip.

NOTE: All raft rentals depart from Curry Village. 

If you'd like to use your own raft, you have the option of purchasing a ticket for the shuttle bus back to Curry Village at the end of your rafting journey for $5.00 per person. You can bring your deflated inner tube or raft back with you on the bus, as long as it fits in your lap. We also rent life jackets and paddles for $5.00 each. Life jackets are required for children younger than 13, and rentals are good for one trip down the river.
