  • star rating  Wow, perfect river rafting trip. - What an amazing experience. There were 4 or 5 rafts that went out at about the same time. All the guides were outstanding, but our guide was Mark Zoller(the owner).... read more Mark was a real pro. He was very enthusiastic and fun. He has been a guide on this river for 40 years. My wife and I felt really lucky to have him as our guide. I was bumped out of the raft about 15 minutes into the trip and he pulled me back in quickly. No problem. We felt very safe with him. If you want to river raft in the Hood River/White Salmon area, please select Zollers. They are the best. We are in our seventies and the river can be challenging at times, but go for it and you will remember this great rafting trip for the rest of your lives. As Mark said, “Let’s go rafting!”
