Beautiful, adventurous, fun - Book this rafting trip!! So worth it! Even if you are an inexperienced rafter. Half day or full day is totally worth it. I’ve done many rafting trips over the years, this is one the best ones I’ve ever done

Amazing time on the White Salmon full day trip - Rafted with wet planet for the second time, and had an incredible time! Our guide Mason was great. He was really knowledgeable, safe and fun. He gave great instructions and had lots to share about the river, geology and local history. I highly recommend Wet Planet, all staff from check in to bus driver were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful day on the White Salmon River! - After a quick shuttle from the lobby, we were on the water in no time. Mason gave a clear and thorough safety briefing, and Kirk guided us down the river with expert skill. Both were not only professional but also incredibly knowledgeable about the Gorge’s geology, which added so much to the experience. The trip offers a perspective of the Gorge you simply can’t get anywhere else — totally worth it. Wetsuits and booties kept us comfortable despite the chilly 50-degree water. One thing to note (which I don’t recall seeing in the description): there is some rock scrambling required to bypass sections of the river they don’t run. We loved this part and thought it added extra adventure, but if you’re less steady on your feet it may be worth asking about shorter trips or other options. All in all, an amazing outing — and we’d absolutely book again!

Fantastic trip that far exceeded expectations. - Fantastic trip that far exceeded expectations. Most anyone who is reasonably fit can do this, and the thrills of the class 4 rapids are amazing. One of the best (of 10-12) rivers I've floated. Wet Planet has this dialed in, great gear, super well supported and really strong guides. Thomas was ours and he was great. Tell his mom he's doing just fine. And the lead guide (forgot his name, but it was 9/9) was outstanding too. This is a great value and totally worth doing, more than once.

Wet Planet rocks! - We had such a blast on the Salmon river. My husband and our 4 children (adults) went out and all of us had so much fun. Our guide, Dalton, was amazing and he was informative about the environment, a very good instructor on how to handle the rapids, and very entertaining as well. His engagement with our boat led to a full day of non-stop "dad" jokes shared by all, lol. We will definitely be returning!

MEMORIES FOREVER! - WoWeee! So amazing, honestly the BEST tour, and I've been on a lot of tours. The staff was friendly, professional, silly, efficient with great attention to detail. Everything from check in to lunch and the heart pounding falls, was truly great! Our guide Ethan was fantastic and had great stories...of the history and memories of previous trips. Absolutely a thrill!

Wake up for adventure - OMG!! What an adventure! Splash! Splash! Rapid! Rapid! Whitewater galore. We even jumped off a cliff to get to the next rapid. Our guide Bobby slayed the day. Greased us through the highest commercial rapid in the states. WOW!! Fun was had by all.

White Salmon river and Wet Planet were awesome! - Wonderful and exciting day. Gear kept us warm enough despite the chilly water. Plenty of water late in the season, great whitewater and a fun guide, Marcus. I would take this trip again! Going over the waterfall was a blast, too.
