Tarn for rafting

Online booking for rafting outfitters.

Guests book seats, pay, and sign waivers online. You see every trip, guide, and river flow on one screen.

Tarn was built inside a rafting company, so it works the way your day does. Trips go by departure time, capacity counts seats, and the manifest shows who's paid and who hasn't signed.

What Tarn handles

River flow on your dashboard

Point a trip at its USGS gauge, and the current flow and the forecast at your meeting spot show up next to today's trips.

Guides and manifests in one place

Assign guides to each trip from the Schedule page. The manifest shows headcounts, balances, and unsigned waivers for every departure, on any phone.

Deposits and group price breaks

Take a deposit when they book, price by group size, and let the trip leader send everyone a link to pay their own share.

Waivers signed before anyone shows up

The waiver link goes out with the confirmation, and the person who booked gets reminders until everyone has signed. The manifest shows who's still missing one.

Example setups

Your main trip, running twice a day all summer

  • 9:00 and 1:30 departures, with seats left shown on your website
  • Adult and youth rates, with a price break at 8 or more
  • A 25% deposit, and the rest from the guest's own link

Full-day trip

A higher price and fewer seats

  • One departure a day, capped at the seats in your rafts
  • Guides assigned from the Schedule page

Private group

The church group that calls every June

  • Booked over the phone, with a payment link to the organizer
  • Each family pays its own share on the group payment page
Common questions

Can guests see open seats before they book?

Yes. The booking page shows the seats left on each departure and updates as bookings come in, including the ones your office takes by phone.

How do waivers work for minors?

Everyone signs from the same link. A parent or guardian signs for anyone under 18, and the manifest shows who's signed.

What does Tarn cost a seasonal rafting company?

There's no monthly fee. Tarn's fee is 3% per booking, dropping to 2% with volume, so the months you're closed cost nothing.
