FRICKEN FUN!! DON'T HESITATE, DO IT!!! - This was my second rafting tour with PDX Rafting. They never fail me. Was a fricken blast and I would do it a third time! Derek was our raft guide and Matt was our kayak safety dude. We had a cat 3 ride and a cat 4 drop! Water was chilly and I had a chance to get bucked outta the raft for a dump!! Derek handled my pull into the raft like a boss. I laughed the entire time! My two friends really had a great time. Everyone should give this a try! You really don't know what you are missing. Get it!!

Exhilarating and Fun - We were running late due to a crash on the freeway, we called to let them know we were running about 15 mins behind and they were super cool and waited for us. Once we got there we suited up in a neoprene wetsuit, jacket, rubber shoes, life vest and a rain jacket, all of this is for our safety and comfort. You should wear anything that’s dry weave under the gear, I wore a sports bra, leggings and a long sleeve dry weave shirt. You are also given a helmet and gloves for protection. It is recommended not to wear anything made of cotton because it will hold in the cold and it takes longer to dry. Once our group was geared up, our tour guide went over went over the equipment and safety procedures. This is very important information so pay attention. Our tour guide was very entertaining and had a lot stories to tell when we were not being toss around. This is a C3 rated rapid so there were a few exhilarating moments. White Salmon had one C4 drop and that was the best part of this journey. I highly recommend PDX RAFTING. I can’t wait to try a C4 rated rapid.

10/10 - This expedition sounded like an adventurous experience for me and my Girlfriend and it did not disappoint! 10/10 Stars! Matt was our guide and he made sure we had a blast taking in the nature, the adrenaline of some rapids, and share great facts and history about the beautiful area. Would definitely recommend to others!

PDX Rafting - The river has beautiful scenery,and a half day was just enough time on the river as we had other activities planned. The guides were knowledgeable, funny and competent, The river was low (middle of September) so we scraped on some rocks but there was lots of whitewater.

Best whitewater rafting ever - Joel and Henry did a great job in making the experience truly unique. They use humor and information to keep you safe and able to follow the instructions easily. They are knowledgeable and clearly enjoying what they do, and it rubs off on you too. We had a fun and exhilarating time. I had never done whitewater rafting before, and it was a thrill to do it. My wife, Tammy, had done it in the past, at several rivers, and her view was this experience was the best she ever had. All in all, we were thrilled to do it. All the best Larry
