Plan Your Bachelor or Bachelorette Party on the River
Looking for a bachelor's or bachelorette's party that’s adventurous, unforgettable, and full of laughs? Skip the crowded clubs and awkward party games—grab your best people and head to Maupin for a whitewater rafting celebration! At Deschutes River Adventures, we make it easy to turn your pre-wedding bash into an epic river adventure. Whether your crew is all about high-energy thrills or laid-back fun under the sun, a group rafting trip down the Deschutes River is the perfect way to celebrate your last fling before the ring.
Why Whitewater Rafting Is the Ultimate Pre-Wedding Experience
Let’s be honest—most bachelor or bachelorette parties blend into a blur of predictable plans. But a whitewater rafting trip? That’s the kind of celebration that your crew will still be talking about on your anniversary. From conquering Class III rapids together to floating through scenic canyon stretches with music and drinks, rafting hits all the right notes.
Here’s why rafting makes the perfect party plan:
Built-in excitement: The Deschutes River delivers a mix of exhilarating rapids and mellow floats, so everyone can join the fun regardless of experience.
Zero planning stress: Our team handles all the gear, transportation, and logistics, so you can focus on celebrating.
All-day bonding: Rafting is naturally social—your crew will be paddling, laughing, and working together from start to finish.
A fresh take: Ditch the typical bar crawl for something truly unique and outdoorsy that still leaves time for a toast at the end of the day.
Plus, let’s not forget the photo ops. Matching swimsuits, goofy sunglasses, or just big grins mid-splash—your river trip will deliver Instagram-worthy memories without ever setting foot in a nightclub.
Custom Rafting Options for Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties
Every wedding crew is different, which is why we offer flexible trip options to match your group’s vibe. Whether you're planning something wild and rowdy or a more relaxed, scenic experience, we’ll help you find the perfect fit.
Popular trip styles include:
Half-Day Thrill Ride: Fast-paced, high-adventure runs with big waves and technical rapids like Boxcar and Oak Springs—ideal for energetic groups ready to shout and splash.
Full-Day River Bash: Includes stops for lunch, swim breaks, and scenic hangouts along the way—great for larger parties who want to take their time and make a full day of it.
Custom Group Trips: Want to float with drinks, play your favorite playlist, or plan a themed trip? Just say the word. We’ll help coordinate every detail.
And yes—if you want to add some flair with tutus, sashes, or a "bride-to-be" raft captain hat, we’re all for it. As long as it’s safe and river-friendly, we’ll make it work.

Make It a Weekend to Remember
Rafting is the kind of activity that turns a single event into a weekend getaway. Maupin’s small-town charm, outdoor access, and welcoming energy make it an ideal location to unplug, reconnect, and celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Consider pairing your rafting trip with:
A group BBQ or picnic by the river after your float
Sunrise hikes or bike rides through nearby trails
Wine or beer tastings at Central Oregon’s best craft spots
Stargazing and s'mores at a local campsite
Because Maupin is just two hours from Portland, your group can make it a quick day trip or a full weekend escape. Either way, it beats a noisy city bar—and it’s something everyone will remember for the right reasons.
