Meet Your Driver
Jeffrey Harrington is co-owner and head driver of Bára Whitewater Rafting. With over 10 years of river experience, he is excited to be able to bring clients onto the water he loves so much.
The "other half" of the business is Melissa Yorke- while she's more behind the scenes than Jeff, she is just as dedicated to making your trip an awesome experience!
So what is the Tidal Bore?
The Tidal Bore is a wave caused by the funneling of the tides as it enters a long, narrow, shallow inlet against the natural outgoing flow of the river. This phenomenon happens twice a day.
Where did the Tidal Bore get its name?
The Tidal Bore got its name from the old Norse language, Bára which means wave or swell of water.
