In developing operational guidelines for the 2020 season we are implementing many of the recommendations of the CDC, medical professionals, the State of California, El Dorado County and adopting many of the emerging common practices of the transportation & outdoor industry as it responds to COVID-19.

No matter how diligent our efforts, it is impossible to ensure that a river shuttle will be 100% free of sources of infection. By booking & riding on the shuttle, you are acknowledging and accepting this risk.

We ask that you please read the following procedures for how we intend to best protect our staff and guests.
