Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure with our exclusive four-day rafting trip, where the thrill of the river meets the warmth of freshly baked pastries. Hosted by Northwest Rafting Company and Emily Little of Buena Luz Bakery.

After spending 10 years navigating the river with NWRC, Emily returned to her hometown of Port Angeles to open her bakery. With a goal to be the “good light” in the community, Buena Luz focuses on providing quality products served as if customers were in their home.

After teaching multiple cooking classes at the bakery, the idea bloomed into teaching classes and bringing Buena Luz to life on the river. Alongside world-class rafting and stunning riverside campsites, you’ll enjoy delicious, hand-crafted pastries, participate in a Dutch oven baking class, learn the art of cookie decorating, and get your hands dirty making dough. With expert rafting guides and gourmet meals, this trip is the ultimate blend of outdoor adventure and culinary delight.

Days on the river will include the opportunity to navigate inflatable kayaks, join a team of paddlers on a paddle boat, or be a princess in a gear boat and chat with one of the many river guides. There will be numerous stops along the way, including gourmet lunches, rock-jumping opportunities, and scenic side hikes. Once at camp, there will be lots of time to relax by the river, take a side hike, or learn about baking from Emily. We will all eat dinner together and share stories from our days adventures.

10/10

The guides were skilled and so human, the scenery was incredible, and the Buena Luz baked goods were suspiciously abundant. Every day on the river came with fresh thrills and fresher pastries. I think I was peer-pressured into more than one cinnamon roll and more than nine cookies. 10/10, would raft and snack again.

Spectacular Meals

Eric Carlson, Joe Van Ryzin and I recently joined Emily Little on a 4-day whitewater rafting trip on the Rogue River in southern Oregon. Emily led a team of 3 skilled river guides who extravantly cared for a total of 8 clients traveling down class II , III and IV rapids. The guides fed us spectcular meals. Special culinary treats were created by Emily, the owner/baker of Buena Luz Bakery located in Port Angeles, WA. These baked goods included cinnamon rolls, pineapple and blueberry upsidedown cakes, baked in dutch ovens with heat provided by charcoal briquettes at our campgrounds alongside the river. The baked goods were sabroso and the dutch oven demonstrations were amazing.
