Sunriver White Water Rafting: Where to Hit the Rapids This Summer!

Bend and Sunriver white water rafting on the Deschutes River

There is nothing better on a hot summer day in Central Oregon than taking an exhilarating ride down the Deschutes River. This blog post is all about Sunriver white water rafting, so whether you are looking for a family-friendly adventure, or a thrilling excursion through intense rapids, the Deschutes River has something to offer everyone. Check out our list of the best whitewater rafting tour companies near Bend and Sunriver to help you choose the adventure that is right for you!

Whitewater Rafting Tour Companies near Bend and Sunriver, Oregon:

Sun Country Tours

Sun Country Tours has been running whitewater rafting excursions in Central Oregon since 1978. Their most popular trip is the Big Eddy Thriller, a fun 3-mile trip down class I and III rapids designed for the whole family – young kids don’t even have to paddle! Sun Country Tours also offers trips down the Lower Deschutes, the McKenzie, and North Umpqua. On Wednesdays in July and August, you can book a Raft ‘N Brew tour (21 and older only). This popular tour takes you down the Big Eddy, and ends with a complimentary beer tasting on the Sun Country Tours patio. Each week they partner with a different local craft brewery, and 50% off the proceeds from the tour go to Mt. Bachelor Play Forever Fund. No matter which trip you choose, we guarantee a splash-tastic time!

Ouzel Outfitters

Only have one day to play? Ouzel Outfitters offers half day, full day, or custom trips to cater to your needs. The one-day trip down the Deschutes River is one of the most popular excursions. Visitors can enjoy navigating through class III rapids, swimming, rock jumping, and more. Half-day trips include a snack and a selection of sparkling water, and full-day trips include a delicious lunch. Ouzel Outfitters aims to offer an unforgettable adventure with a splash of class.

River Drifters

River Drifters offers experienced, friendly guides, top-quality gear, hearty meals, and unmatched value. Whether you are a beginner or experienced rafter, you can find the perfect trip that meets your skill level, time commitment, and your comfort level for adventure.

Bend Whitewater Park

Conveniently located on the Deschutes River near the Old Mill District, the Bend Whitewater Park offers tons of on-water fun. From tubing and kayaking to surfing and rafting, you can enjoy a wide range of activities here. The Whitewater Channel of the park offers four different wave features with varying levels of difficulty. The unique combination of natural and innovative, man-made features helps create ideal conditions for a whitewater rafting trip.

What Should You Wear?

Weather in Central Oregon can be changeable, so we recommend checking the temperature to dress accordingly. On warmer days, bathing suits, T-shirts and quick-drying shorts are encouraged. On cooler days, light layers of clothing made of synthetic fabrics, or wool to help wick moisture, will help keep you warmer. Wear shoes that can stay on your feet, like river sandals, water socks, or athletic shoes that can get wet. Each tour company will provide you with clothing recommendations and suggestions on what to bring upon booking.

Planning a Group Rafting Trip?

All of the tour companies listed above can cater to your group needs to plan an unforgettable whitewater rafting or outdoor experience.

Best Baked Goods in Bend

Mt. Bachelor Village vacation rentals offer so much adventure right outside your door! The Deschutes River Trail, SUP-ing in the Old Mill District, and miles of bike paths invite all of us to get “outdoorsy.” Have a foodie in your group? Mt. Bachelor Village is also well located to take advantage of Bend’s many great places to eat, including the town’s best bakeries! Get ready to inhale that fresh desert mountain air mixed with the smell of butter, sugar, and freshly baked dough! Bend’s bakery scene is on the rise, and these spots are worth the visit … and the calories!

The Sparrow Bakery – With two locations, this bakery has quickly become a favorite amongst locals and visitors. No stop in Bend is complete without trying their Ocean Roll, a hand folded croissant filled with freshly ground cardamom, vanilla, and sugar. We also love their banana bread, and savory and sweet croissant selections.

Nancy P’s Café & Bakery – Locals know this is the place to fuel up before heading to the slopes. Start your morning off right with a specialty coffee, and one of their famous savory pastry pockets filled with eggs, cheese, veggies, and your choice of ham, bacon, or veggies. Vacationing with your pup? Order a barkscotti treat too, and the whole family can enjoy their pastry (or full breakfast) from the dog-friendly garden patio.

Village Baker – There is nothing better than freshly baked bread and butter! Stop by the Village Baker to pick up some fresh bread to enjoy alongside some home cooked meals prepared in your cozy Meredith Lodging rental. They offer an amazing selection of rustic, Old World breads, and some loaves with a twist, like traditional European-style country sourdough, walnut and raisin, Bavarian-style black butte porter, or cinnamon swirl brioche bread, perfect for French toast! They also serve decadent pastries, like their coveted cardamom brioche – dipped in honey butter and rolled in cardamom spice and brown sugar before baking.

Too Sweet Cakes – We could not agree more with the Too Sweet Cakes motto that life is too short to not be sweet! Choose from croissant donuts, cinnamon rolls, doughnut holes, savory and sweet scones and croissants, and so much more! We recommend trying their toaster pastry, think a grown-up version of a Poptart – a blackberry raspberry pastry filled with vanilla bean glaze with cinnamon crunch pieces.

Ready to discover some of the best baked goods in Bend, alongside some of the best scenery and outdoor recreation available on the West Coast?

Find an Oregon Vacation Rental to Match Your Activities

While searching around for things to do in Oregon, you can sometimes lose sight of why you want to visit in the first place. With that in mind, it’s crucial to find somewhere that satisfies your needs. For example, if you wish to indulge in some retail therapy, you’ll probably want a vacation rental near Bend, where you’ll find several well-known retailers. Or, if you’re going to try surfing, beachcombing, or ocean fishing, you’ll want to post up somewhere like Newport, Lincoln City, or Cannon Beach.

Here are our top 5 family-friendly hikes in Bend:

Deschutes River Trail. This 3-mile, family-friendly trail can be accessed directly from Mt. Bachelor Village resort – it runs right through the property! Enjoy the convenience and beauty of this favorite trail for locals and visitors alike. Certain parts of the trail allow dogs, but we recommend verifying before heading out with your favorite four-legged friend!
Pilot Butte. The Butte is in the center of Bend and is open year-round. This trail is roughly 1.5 miles in and out and will reward you with stunning views of the Cascades and high desert vistas. During the summer, you can also drive to the top of Pilot Butte for a 360-degree view of Bend!
Tumalo Falls. No trip to Bend is complete without a hike on this iconic trail. In the winter, you can snowshoe 2.5 miles from the parking area to view the stunning falls, or in warmer months, park closer to the falls. There is a $5/vehicle/day recreation fee site – passes are available onsite, or you can purchase online here.
Todd Lake. This popular trail is suitable for all ages. The 1.5-mile loop takes you around the lake with only a slight elevation gain. The trail is only open during the summer months but will spoil you with beautiful views of mountains and wildflowers. If you are lucky, you may see hundreds of baby frogs that hatch here in early summer.
Benham Falls. Spend an afternoon hiking amongst old growth ponderosa pine along the Deschutes River. There are a few waterfalls along the trail – perfect for that family photo, as well as several picnic areas, great for a resting area and a snack to fuel up as you continue exploring the beauty of Bend.
