Efficiency

When you arrive at Zoller's for your day of rafting the White Salmon, your raft is sitting in the river less than 250 feet from where you parked your car, or trailered ready for your quick departure. All you need to do is check in, get dressed, go through orientation and head to your raft. We maximize river fun and eliminate wait time. Having the only shorelines permits for private commercial raft launching means we launch when we want and never wait in line at the public whitewater launch site.

Variety

At Zoller's Outdoor Odysseys, YOU get to choose the adventure you desire. Zoller's is the ONLY outfitter on the White Salmon River that lets the guest, water level permitting, choose between three rafting options allowing you to be comfortable with your choice. If you are a fit adventure seeker, we've got the trip for you. If you are elderly or have little ones in your group, we've got the trip for you. We don't decide where you are going to raft, we help you choose what you'd like best.

Personality

There are 30+ employees here with about 40+ personalities... you're going to find someone you like!

4th generation river "future" guides

The Zoller's have a long history of rafting on the White Salmon river. Tracy Zoller (brother) was the first person to give the White Salmon commercial consideration when he lowered his raft 150 feet off of the BZ bridge into the frothing river and proceeded into unknown waters. Tracy and Phil Zoller (father) then became the first commercial rafting operation on the White Salmon, introducing tens of thousands of people to the sport, and helping the White Salmon river become one of the most popular rivers in Oregon & Washington. The White Salmon is known as the best commercial rafting adventure in the state of Washington.

In 2001 after 21 years of guiding customers down the Klickitat and White Salmon rivers Mark Zoller took over as President of Zoller's Outdoor Odysseys. Mark and his wife Sherri, side by side with their five children, son & daughter in-law and staff of 30+, have redefined excellence in outdoor adventures.
