Family Fun - From prefloat instructions to takeout the guides were top notch. Scenery was breathtaking. Our entire group of five went overboard at “Granny’s Snatch” rapid and were plucked out like bobbing apples by our guides. Shooting the waterfall near the end of our float was exhilarating. 100% recommended by all five of us!

Will try Full Day tour next time! - The experience was wonderful, and our guide (Josh), as well as the other staff who kept us informed and safe, were great. We were a group of six people ranging in age from 8 to 48, and with some modifications, everyone's needs were met. The eight year old sat on the floor of the boat rather than on the side, and when we got to a waterfall with a large drop, the younger kids and their parent were able to get out out of the boat and skip that scarier part of the trip. One of the older riders was quite cold after getting wet, so if your group has someone who has trouble keeping warm, that might be an issue. Another note is that the directions on TripAdvisor for where to go to start the rafting tour are incorrect, so follow the directions from PDX Rafting instead.

Epic! - Absolutely wonderful time! Our tour guides Josh and Scott were super talented, comforting, and funny. Perfect mix of adrenaline pumping adventure and relaxing sight seeing. The water was definitely cold but the wetsuits kept us at the perfect temp. Totally recommend! :)

Wonderful adventure. - Pdx rafting deliveries a wonderful adventure that you will remember for years to come. Josh was a terrific guide. He focused on safety, teaching us about the river and having a good time. I would highly recommend any trip with them and we plan to do the full day trip next summer.

YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BOOK WITH THEM!! - Had such an amazing experience! It was my first time rafting, and PDX Rafting made me fall in love with it. It was 100% worth it! The owner Scott, was so nice, and the guides were absolutely amazing, especially Lauren and Sage. They were such kind, fun, and welcoming people. I’ll definitely be going again! 😊

Awesome day with PDX! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had such a great experience with PDX Rafting! I especially love that they’re a locally owned company, and the whole trip felt personal and unhurried.
Our guide, Sage, was fantastic. She was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient, and did a great job easing any worries we had. She explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable and confident the entire time.
What really made the trip stand out was that it wasn’t just about getting down the river. They took their time and pointed out all kinds of things along the way—ducks, caves, interesting trees, rock formations, and other things we probably would have completely missed on our own. We even stopped at a bridge so everyone who wanted to could jump off!
It was the perfect mix of adventure, beautiful scenery, and actually getting to enjoy and learn about the area instead of feeling rushed through it. We had an awesome time and would absolutely recommend PDX Rafting. And if you get Sage as your guide, you’re in great hands!
