more about our commitment
"Never having been on a rafting trip before I was a little apprehensive...but I felt totally safe at all times."
- M. O'Neill, Dragon, AZ
ECHO is one of the most experienced outfitters in the industry. Your safety is our number one priority, both on and off the river. We have an exemplary safety record and intend to keep it that way!
Each trip begins with a group safety talk led by the head guide. Guests are given their life jackets and are shown how to adjust them. We also cover some paddling tips, what to expect on the river, and answer any questions you may have.
First Aid
We require all of our guides to be certified and current with their first aid and CPR training. Many of our guides have extensive wilderness medicine training, including Wilderness First Responder (WFR), Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), and/or Paramedic backgrounds. We always carry complete first aid kits, which are checked before and restocked after each trip.
Guide Training
In addition to the above training, our guides are trained in swiftwater rescue techniques and are competent in whitewater rescue. Our guides are also skilled and trained for life outdoors. Most of our guides have spent a lot of time in the wilderness and often work in the mountains during the winter. They are a huge asset for our guests with limited camping experience.
Additionally, we offer Professional & Advanced Whitewater Guide Schools so we can personally train our aspiring guides, as well as provide our current guides with continuing education.
Tested & Trusted Gear
All of our rafts are made by AVON, which has been a leading name in raft manufacturing for over 40 years. They are truly the Cadillacs of rafts and are used by the U.S. Coastguard and other major rescue services. We take pride in providing you with the best equipment available.
