Kings River Expeditions was the first to offer whitewater rafting trips on the Kings River back in 1972. Justin E. Butchert started guiding the river in 1978, and still kayaks along with most trips, shooting photos and videos and enjoying the river, our guests and guides. Julie Butchert started guiding on the Kings River in 1991 and runs the KRE office. She also guides weekend trips. KRE has grown quite a bit since its early days but chose not to expand beyond the Kings River, offering guests an experienced staff and the most unique whitewater adventure on the river.
