Damed vs Natural Rivers

by Allison Schatz | Jan 12, 2025 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities

White Salmon river is a hidden gem

by Allison Schatz | Dec 10, 2024 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities, Family Activity, Whitewater Rafting

If you’ve ever been white water rafting most of what surrounds the rivers is either non-existent dirt roads for miles or huge touristy attraction towns selling foam fingers. It is hard to believe a river could survive without the latter, but being inside the Colombia...

Rafting through the years

by Allison Schatz | Oct 10, 2024 | Columbia River Gorge, Washington and Oregon fun and outdoor activities

Customer Reviews

  • star rating  This was the highlight of our family vacation! I was a little nervous taking our 8 and 10 year old but Casey was great at calming my nerves and engaging... read more our kiddos. I felt safe and thrilled all at the same time. The kiddos even jumped off a cliff into the river. It was so awesome to see them push themselves to be adventuresome. Our raft had 2 other amazing guides, Anick and Kailynn. I also really appreciated having all the gear provided. Note - don't wear cotton clothes under wet suit. Highly recommend!

Our older son absolutely loved every second of it and wanted to extend the trip! Lizzie was very patient with our endless questions about the scenery, infrastructure and other random visitor banter! We were visiting from the Columbia River Gorge Under Canvas location, and this tour was more reasonable than the ones they procure, and conveniently located. After your tour, be sure to visit their gift shop for your hilarious in action photos then hit up the coffee/burrito truck across the street.
