Sun Country Tours kicks off its popular Raft n’ Brew whitewater rafting trips today in partnership with local breweries and non-profit organizations. This special edition of the Big Eddy Thriller rafting trip takes place every Wednesday at 4:30pm through August 30 and includes a complimentary beer tasting after a whitewater adventure on the Upper Deschutes River just outside of Bend.
Each week, Sun Country Tours partners with a different local brewery to highlight their craft beers, and half of all proceeds from each Raft n’ Brew trip will benefit various local charities. Tickets for Raft n’ Brew are $59 each, and guests must be 21 or older.
“We are excited to combine two iconic Bend experiences–whitewater rafting and craft beer–to create a unique experience for both visitors and locals,” said Jason Montoya, Director of Activities for Sun Country Tours and Mt. Bachelor. “The added bonus of being able to help local non-profits with their fundraising supports our business philosophy of giving back to the community whenever we have the opportunity.”
