About ROW Adventures

Employment at ROW Adventures Family of Companies

Introduction:
When it was founded in 1979, ROW Adventures was a small company focused on multiday rafting trips. As the decades have passed, we have grown into an award-winning adventure and active travel company with trips around the globe. We are organized under four brands:

ROW Adventures – Specializing in whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing, biking, fly fishing and hiking trips in the United States. Our core business, comprising 80% of our trips, is rafting. We operate on more Idaho rivers than any other outfitter and we are Idaho’s largest adventure travel company. In addition, we operate on five rivers in Oregon, three in Montana and one in Washington.
River Dance Lodge – Idaho’s Outdoor Adventure Resort, located on the Middle Fork of the Clearwater, is the base for our Lochsa whitewater rafting season as well as other float trips and activities from May to September.
Sea Kayak Adventures – Focused on sea kayaking and whale watching trips around the world, with our largest operations in Baja, Cuba, Ecuador (the Galapagos) and British Columbia.
Adventure Unbound – Active travel trips outside the USA, with a cultural focus and a mix of moderate activities that can include hiking, sea kayaking, cycling, cultural exploration and wildlife watching.
The information found here is focused on employment for ROW Adventures. If you’d like to work for a top-rated rafting and adventure company that prides itself on professionalism, commitment to guest services, conservation and cultural/natural history interpretation, then apply to join our team!

A Note About COVID-19 and the Pandemic: When the world went topsy-turvy in March of 2020, we quickly regrouped, worked with other outfitters and came up with a plan for operating our season as best we could. Our 2020 season start up was delayed until early June and by early July we were operating at near full capacity. The season was short, but in the end, we took hundreds of people on trips and not one of our staff got COVID-19, nor, to the best of our knowledge, did any of our guests. We developed and implemented a full mitigation plan and modified it for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. We are fortunate that our trips take place in the outdoors. This fact, coupled with our operating precautions, gives us confidence that we can continue to operate our trips in a way that protects both our employees and our guests. We anticipate a busy 2023 season and are hiring with that in mind.

To learn about our plans and precautions, view our current travel information page.

For 2023, we are require that all of our staff are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
