BILLINGS, MT, January 28, 2011 (Press-News.org) Adventure Travel Company Rooted in Whitewater Rafting Legacy Dating Back to 1970's
When Dan Austin discovered the excitement of family rafting trips as a guide and later, as a partner in a small raft company back in the early 1970's, little did he know more than three decades later he would still be sharing this same excitement and passion with a new generation of adventure travelers and their families. With this legacy, Austin-Lehman Adventures (http://www.austinlehman.com/) announces a 2011 trip line-up full of family adventure vacations with whitewater rafting worldwide.
"This is where I got my first taste for adventure travel," says Austin. "I started out as a guide on family whitewater rafting trips and soon afterwards, a partner in a small rafting company navigating the waters of the West in the early 70's. It's wonderful how things have come full circle and once again, I'm able to turn families onto the joys of rafting."
Austin-Lehman Adventures, award-winning multi-sport, cycling and family vacation company (Travel + Leisure magazine's World's Best Tour Operator for two consecutive years - 2009 & 2010) has introduced a new Idaho family rafting adventure for 2011 along the legendary Salmon River. Adults and kids (as young as five) will travel by raft or inflatable kayak down 60 miles of Idaho's Salmon River, famous for its playful rapids, massive sandy beaches and historic Nez Perce Indian sites on this five-day Salmon River family adventure. These trips are run in partnership with ROW Adventures. See: http://www.austinlehman.com/trips/idaho_family___salmon_river_raft/87.php
Trips are staffed with a, "River Jester", who leads nature-oriented games and activities for kids of all ages. Families begin and end the trip in Lewiston, Idaho and can choose from nine departures throughout the summer. Rates are $1,638 for adults and $1,438 for children and include most meals, pre-post trip lodging, transfers to the put-in and from the take-out, all equipment, guides, special kid's meals and land and water access fees.
In total, Austin-Lehman Adventures offers 16 separate itineraries that include whitewater rafting for the 2011 season.
