Option I Guide Escorted (no guide in your raft)
Each rafting tour is escorted with experienced guides with a guide to guest ration determined by the State Park. They are not in each raft. This option lends itself to the more accomplished rafter who is familiar with the river and rafting techniques. During high-water conditions we will change our format to 8 man self-bailing rafts with a guide in each raft due to the faster pace of the current and the need to avoid certain channels.

Option II Fully Guided (guide in your raft)
Enjoy the splendor of the Youghiogheny River with a knowledgeable guide in your raft. Perfect for first timers, families and youth groups. You will be part of a larger tour and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow explorers, however for just a small increase in the cost of the tour your guide can personalize the experience in a special way. Leave the hassles behind as your guide coaches you, every paddle stroke of the way. As a bonus your party will be assured to have the best self-bailing raft for the water level.

Option III Guided Duckie (no guide in your raft)
This tour option is just right for groups with a lot of energy but are not quite ready for the bigger waves found on the Lower Yough. Duckies are one and two person boats that handle like a kayak but are much more stable. The guides' will paddle alongside to show you the way and ensure everyone has a fun day.

This video was created for Ohiopyle Trading Post to feature the safety boater orientation that is given before each Upper Yough rafting trip. The safety boater goes over a lot of information on what you should do if you have an out of boat experience. The safety boater is the knight in shiny plastic armor. They will hang out in a location where people may fall out then dart out of the rocks scoop you up on the back of their kayak then paddle you back to your raft. That's plan a. It's a demanding job and you have to be a great boater.
