river-runner
Whitewater boat operator
A river-runner is someone who navigates rivers by raft, kayak, or canoe, especially through rapids or whitewater: The river-runners launched at dawn for the canyon trip.
The term suggests experience and skill with moving water rather than casual recreation.
River-running is the activity itself.
