57 Best River/White Water Rafting Team Names (Curated & Ranked) + Generator
When you think of white water rafting, you probably have a very distinct picture in your mind of people floating down a wild river with brightly-colored helmets and puffy lifevests.
However, river rafting’s origins predate the latest rafts and safety gear by a longshot! The first planned and recorded trip on the Snake River — which is still known for its Class III rapids — occurred all the way back in 1811.[1]
The popularity of this activity has grown so much that white water canoeing and kayaking have even been accepted as Olympic sports since 1972.[2]
White water rafting team names should reflect your team’s adventure-seeking and courageous spirit!

How to Create Cool White Water Rafting Team Names
If you’d prefer to create your own unique rafting team name, keep the following tips in mind and brainstorm ideas along with your team:
- Choose adventurous, energetic words. Rafting takes a lot of courage and skill! An adventurous name will reflect your team’s daring nature and bold spirit. Choose a word like “rugged,” “renegades,” “daredevils,” or “dauntless,” and build your team name around it.
- Use the names of people and places. You can use your team leader’s first or last name, the city you live in, or the name of the river where you most enjoy rafting. Combine the name with a phrase like “Whitewater Club,” “Rafting Club,” or “Crew” for an easy-to-create, personal, and catchy team name.
- Reference your rafting equipment or other rafting terminology. Words like “oar,” “paddle,” or “drysuit” — types of gear used in rafting — can be an excellent start for your team name. You can also use other rafting terminology, such as “breaking wave,” “big water,” “cartwheeling,” or “flotilla.” Choose a word that most rafters are familiar with, or pick something more obscure for a unique and exciting team name.
