Rentals: 1-Day - 9' Mini Me Inflatable Raft & Assessories 2-4 persons

Rentals: 1-Day - 9' Mini Me Inflatable Raft & Assessories 2-4 persons

Mini-Me Rafts are 9' long and accommodate 2 people and a dry bag or cooler quite easily. You can fit up to 4 people if you prefer, but be prepared to be in close quarters. These rafts are one of the most fun ways to go down a stretch of river and they are surprisingly stable for their size as long as you keep them straight they hardly flip and are difficult to rap on rocks. Guiding experience is necessary. The responsible party is liable for all losses and damages or replacements.
