The Lickety Split is a great trip for families and first-timers! This trip is full of excitement for just about everyone from youngsters to grandmas and grandpas. Before your rafting trip, a Sierra South professional river guide provides you with a trip overview, paddling gear, and a paddle talk. Then it’s all forward for three miles of jam-packed rafting action on Kern River rapids such as Powerhouse, Big Daddy, and Ewings.
