About Our Partner

In 2020, Matt Volpert, Byron Roos-Collins, and Augie Houlemard joined together to form GoRafting.com. The three launched the project to publish detailed whitewater rafting and kayaking guidebooks. By pairing extensive professional guiding and expedition experience, the GoRafting.com team created modern river guidebooks. Whitewater excursions involve a significant amount of variables to operate safely and enjoyably. These are the factors that have driven the information-filled GoRafting’s guidebooks. The team is thrilled to partner with FarOut to take their guidebooks offline. Augie, Byron, and Matt spend most of their time on river trips. If you see them on the water, say hello!
