Guest Testimonials

Thrilling, fun, & worth every penny!

Really loved our experience with Wildwater River folks! They accommodated us booking a whitewater rafting trip super last minute and were willing to work with our group of 3 and make it happen, even though their policy is a minimum of 4 people. It was my mom’s 60th birthday and we were really grateful for them making it happen. To summarize, it was a BLAST and hella worth every penny.

Perfectly organized, all the equipment was in great condition, our guide was a passionate naturalist and told us many interesting details about the surroundings, river, geology, climate etc. (much more than the usual tourist trivia). Overall, amazing adventure - will definitely come back for more.

— Michał Czapiński

I just want to say that Lance, our guide, was an awesome guy! Not only was he very knowledgeable, but was also very fun to talk too. Made the trip even better with his upbeat attitude.

The trip itself was on the Wenatchee-river, it was a nice mixture of calm sightseeing and exciting rapids! I took my my mother that's never done it before and she had a blast!

Overall... Would recommend it!!!

Private Kayak Instruction

I took three of my boys (14, 18, and 21), and spent several hours on the river with two Wildwater River Guides. We were so impressed. They were personable and knowledgeable. They adapted to our varying skill levels. By the end of the instruction we were competent enough to navigate the class I, II, and III rapids and have loads of fun. Thank you for a memorable safe, and exciting time.

— Kevin Arrington

Will never forget White Salmon
I have been whitewater rafting with 3 companies and by far this was the best one. Spenser and Liam were amazing guides that truly made our experience unforgettable in the best way. Hands down!!!! Best way to end the summer.

— Joan M

This is my third time using Wildwater River Guides and I continue to have great experiences each time. Spencer was our guide down the White Salmon and we're planning on booking a couple more trips and requesting him specifically. If you're new to rafting or looking to try a new guided tour, I highly recommend Spencer and the team over at Wildwater River Guides.

— Evan Stichler

I have been a rafting guide and rafted a lot. I honestly think this is the best crew I've been around. They are a well oiled machine; each person has the role they play in the making of an all around awesome experience for everyone. With my history of rafting, honestly most of the guides I have been around (and worked with) were a group of random misfits! Not a bad thing, just nothing that binds them as a "group." These guys are none of that; they made yesterday a fantastic experience on the Tieton River. Can't wait until spring to see them in Leavenworth!

— CJ Jillian

We had an absolute blast with Wildwater on their two-day rapid progression kayaking course! Andy was very professional, knowledgeable, and kept us learning on the river all day. I feel confident tackling the river by myself now after the course and would recommend the course for anyone looking to get into whitewater kayaking. Thanks, Andy and the Wildwater team!
