The Original Rafting Experience

We’re not the biggest outfitter on the river—and that’s the point. We’re a locally owned, guide-operated company offering the kind of authentic rafting experience that’s getting harder to find. No grand lodge, no ice cream stand—just old buses, riverside meetups at the park, and passionate guides who live for whitewater.

Based in White Salmon, Washington—just over an hour from Portland—we run daily trips on the White Salmon River, including our guest favorite, Splashes & Smiles. It's the perfect blend of thrilling rapids and pure fun for families, first-timers, and anyone chasing summer adventure.

Looking for more? Our two-day overnight on the Klickitat River offers a deeper connection with the wilderness—float, camp, eat well, and laugh hard under the stars.

Whether you're new to rafting or back for another ride, you're not just another guest here—you’re part of something real.

Welcome to the original way to run a river.
