History
Owners Kevin and Sarah Dieker began RIO Rafting to share our passion of running rivers with you. We are a family owned and operated rafting company based out of beautiful Bend, Oregon. We specialize in smaller groups by purposefully limiting the size of our river trips. By doing so, we are able to offer you a higher standard, and a better river experience. Kevin began running rivers in 1996, and has experience guiding commercially and on private trips on rivers in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado. Sarah joined Kevin running rivers over 12 years ago. Kevin, your guide for every trip is a Swiftwater Rescue Technician, active Paramedic, and has experience guiding commercial raft trips since 2000. By booking your river trip with RIO Rafting, you have chosen a river outfitter with guiding standards that are virtually unsurpassed in the rafting industry. We are also excited to announce that all of our gear is brand new for the 2012 season! Call us and book your Central Oregon Raft Trip!
