What is the difference between a paddle raft and an oared raft?
On a paddle raft the riders and the guide work together as a team to maneuver the raft down the river. If you choose the paddle-raft option, plan on a little upper-body workout. An oared raft has a rigid frame, so you can sit back and relax while the guide maneuvers the raft and takes you down the river. This is the relaxing way to go while you let the guide do all the work.
