This was our first time"whitewater" rafting. It was disappointing primarily because the Wenatchee River was very low and there was little whitewater. We got hung up on the rocks three times. Because the rafting wasn't so great, the guides either slowed or beached the rafts (there were about 10 rafts) and they clowned around, jumping off the rafts, dumping the rafts, and encouraging swimming. Safety did not seem to be an issue and the guides were out there to have their own fun. The children, teens and college-age students were having a blast and we wished we were young again. It just wasn't a trip geared for middle-aged people. The guide was pleasant enough and did explain a little about the river and ospreys but we really prefer more in-depth information. The life vests and booties provided were smelly and transport on a school bus was unbearably hot and like a fieldtrip with noisy kids. BSO has no control over the weather, I know, but why make us put on the smelly life vests and carry our paddles on the hot bus? Overall, the tour could have been much better organized and a few photos along the way would have been nice.

Had a great time with this crew. I found Blue Sky Outfitters online and called in a reservation. We did the Express trip on the Wenatchee River, Drysdale Dam to the Riverfront Park in Cashmere. This was my family's first whitewater trip, and it was fantastic. Our guide, Molly, did an outstanding job.

The Wenatchee river is beautiful and the tour guides were a lot of fun. We felt really special! We rafted with the guides the day before graduation. They were so friendly. You could tell they all loved what they were doing. We loved every minute. Molly, our "cruise director", was fabulous! She was amazingly informative and even cooks a mean steak! We highly recommend doing the package of white water rafting and wine touring. We can't wait to do both again.
