At Sierra South, our goal is to provide you, your family, and your friends with an exhilarating whitewater experience that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. We’ve been guiding rafting trips on the Kern River since 1985, and that experience has helped us curate adventures suited to thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re looking for a heart-pounding encounter with the rapids, a family-friendly trip, or a multi-day wilderness getaway, we have a fun, on-the-water adventure waiting for you.

The Overnight Kern River Rafting experience

The two multi-day tours we offer are thought of as two of the best overnight rafting trips in the USA.
