Whether it's the adrenaline rush of whitewater you crave or the scenic splendor of a calm water float you are seeking, Nichols Expeditions has the river trip you are looking for. We have searched from Alaska to Utah to find rivers with the conditions that are just right for the different types of river trips we offer. All of our guides are highly trained with many miles of river experience behind them. Their love for sharing their life on the river is matched by their skills in preparing scrumptious meals from our well stocked river kitchen.

Nichols Expeditions offers a wide range of trips suitable for individuals, families and groups. We use a combination of top-line paddle and oar powered rafts, inflatable kayaks and rigid kayaks to give you a vacation with the most fun and excitement you'll find anywhere.
