"I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the wonderful weekend experience that Wet Planet provided for our group this Memorial Day weekend. We booked your 3-day combo trip with unknown expectations and received far more than we could have hoped for. Your staff were all extremely knowledgable, patient, and supportive as well as being a great group of people. This even includes the staff members that did not guide our boats ... While good customer service and safety are expected of any guide service, your team went above and beyond that to provide the most excellent guided trip of any type that I have experienced." Dan Birnseth, Portland, OR

   
    Whether you are on a family outing, part of a corporate group taking a break from the boardroom, or an experienced rafter looking for the next challenge, we have a rafting trip that is perfect for you. Wet Planet takes advantage of the crystal clear water flowing from the glaciers on Mt. Adams and the stunning scenery of the Pacific Northwest to offer whitewater rafting trips for all skill levels of rafters in the Columbia River Gorge. From the remote wilderness stretches of the class III Klickitat River and Tieton River, to the classic glacier waters and basalt canyons of the White Salmon River, to the challenges of class V whitewater rapids on the Wind River and Farmlands , we have designed a variety of trips that are certain to meet the expectations of any whitewater rafter.
