The ROW Family of Companies IN 1979 ROW’S roots were planted lovingly on the banks of river canyons of the American West as a company specializing in wilderness river trips. Over the years, these roots took hold and flourished, nourishing our heartfelt mission of “Sharing Nature – Enriching Lives.” This purposeful intent has always been our guide and throughout this journey, our river roots have remained strong and steadfast. As time passed, we branched out to create what is today the ROW Family of Companies. We invite you to share this world of wonder with us and with your help, we will continue to build community within and across borders, to spread smiles and hope wherever we go, and be a positive force for good.

By recognizing these communities, we hope to honor their legacies, their lives, and their descendants. We recognize that while territorial acknowledgments are an im- portant first step, their value is limited if there is not corresponding intentional and thoughtful action to address both colonial history and current Peter Grubb & Betsy Bowen structures that continue to disenfranchise Indigenous populations worldwide. Founders of the ROW Family of Companies We encourage you to learn more about the populations whose homelands you are visiting (trip-specific information available on our websites), Indigenous populations more broadly, and the history and legacy of colonialism.

TEAM USA Setting the High Watermark for Adventure Travel™ CELEBRATING 40 YEARS! 1979-2019 OUR HOME IS IN NORTHERN IDAHO, on the ROW ADVENTURES edge of the Rocky Mountains in the Pacific Northwest.

For over 40 years we’ve shared our corner of the world with others on whitewater raft- Pristine Alpine Wilderness, Towering ing, gentle float and canoe trips, bicycle tours, hikes and multisport adventures. We lead you to places that are familiar to us, but contin- Mountains and Deep Desert Canyons ually inspiring. We take you to wild places as well as into designated Wilderness areas, with a capital W. These areas are protected by law, no motors or anything mechanical is allowed and you can only travel ROW ADVENTURES on foot, horse or boat. Why Go on a River Trip? Rivers flow through some of the most majestic landscapes of the world and are a natural pathway to places that can be otherwise difficult to access. We run some of the world’s most famous rivers and are also known as the river connoisseur’s company because we have trips on rivers that few others float. River canyons are a place to feel the earth under foot and the heavens above. A place you can find both peace and the mysterious thrill of gazing upon life and the world and being one with it. The rapids we encounter are exciting, heart-pounding punctuations of the poetry of the river trip experience. Between the rapids there is calm and time to gaze upon soaring eagles and magnificent pines. At camp there is hiking, good food, camaraderie around the camp- fire, and star-gazing. The meals we prepare are made from fresh ingredients carried in coolers loaded with ice. The menu is varied, bountiful and deli- cious. We cook and clean up, leaving you time to hike, fish, read, visit, or simply relax on the river bank. These are soul-expanding places. Places to feel the freshness of a breeze, the power of the river, the glow of the sunset. To share with us as we share ourselves with you.

- 19 ADVENTURES ROW SEA KAYAK ADVENTURES was launched in 1993 and is our division specializing in worldwide sea kayaking and whale watching trips. Sea kayaking is the perfect human-powered activity to immerse yourself in nature and, with each paddle stroke, take in the beauty around you. Most trips are suitable for beginners and generally we are paddling in calm, protected waters. We also offer more difficult trips that are expeditionary in nature with longer paddling distances and which may experience rougher waters. Some trips are kayak focused, while others of these Worldwide Kayaking & Whale Watching artfully-created itineraries include a mix of kayaking, hiking, cultural touring and wildlife viewing. We offer lodge-based, mothership and camping expeditions.

Camping expeditions tend to have more immersion SEA KAYAK ADVENTURES in nature and perhaps more opportunity for group bonding due to the nature of living outdoors together. Mothership and lodge-based trips offer more creature comforts and generally the kayaking distances are less. No matter which you choose, join us to paddle in some of the world’s finest sea kayaking destinations! SEA KAYAK ADVENTURES SEA KAYAK
