Amazing trip with PDX Rafting!!!!!!!! - We had the most amazing time rafting with these guys. The guides are great, insightful and a lot of fun, and just all around good people.
They knew a lot about the river and the natural environment and the history and were great at answering any questions.

Family Adventure - Our guide was the best. He knew so much about the river and history of the land. The ride was fast paced and fun for our whole family with teenagers plus a Grandmother. The rapids were exciting and we got great photos. We loved jumping off the rock cliff and the beautiful surroundings. So happy we did the full day. The second part of the day is not to miss!

Phenomenal experience - I've been rafting with these guys for 3 years now and it's always a blast. We went for the half day on the White Salmon the first year and had a blast. Did the full day last year and this year and it was even better. Our guide was Tom the first two years and Henry this year, and they are both incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. These guys know what they're doing; the prioritize safety; and they keep everything fun, funny, and lighthearted. Husum falls is a phenomenal experience that might be very scary and seemingly dangerous with amateurs, but these guys make it seem like a cake walk. I also had the opportunity to jump a couple of cliffs as well, which was great. I highly recommend a trip on the White Salmon with Portland Rafting Company.

Magnificent Experience!!! - The full day trip (as opposed to half day) is highly recommended. The second part of the day includes a really good lunch and a trip down part of the river which is spectacular and less-traveled... we pretty much had the river to ourselves on that portion of the journey. The whole thing was magnificent. Derek and Tom were our guides - Derek in the raft and Tom alongside in his kayak. They are super knowledgeable, resourceful, thoughtful, kind, and funny. All of our dealings with the company were impeccable and the river and scenery were amazing. We have done a LOT of these river rafting trips in various locations. This was by far the best - it was the most exciting and beautiful scenery and the guides were the best ever. Highly recommended!!!!!

Knowledge guides. Beautiful scenery. Great price. - We took our two teenagers and had a ball! First time white water rafting for all four of us. They supply all necessary gear and gave a 20 min safety lesson before we left. There was another guy who took awesome photos from strategic locations on the bank as we made our way down the river.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the River itself and the history of the area so we were in good hands and we learned something! 2.5 hours was perfect. The price was right too. Definitely do this trip!
