Awesome boat ride with Capt Wiley! Quick turnaround on pics and video from adventure. Definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved the audio tour of the North Cascade national Park, it was great how the tour was able to work with our GPS to tell stories that totally fit into the timeline of the drive. The stories were entertaining and educational while being easy to understand and enjoy. Great to hear how long the hikes would be so we could choose along the way. At one of the suggested stops we even saw a bear😄 super thrilled with that, we probably would have missed it if he didn't suggest the stop!

It was so much fun. We had a blast! Would highly recommend it!

The best way to do a road trip. My sister and I love road trips, but most of the time you enjoy the scenery, but never really know anything about where you are. With this self-guided road trip tour you get to here and enjoy not only what you’re seeing, but about the history of the area. We plugged my phone into the car radio so all of us could hear all the stories, history and lots of other tidbits. Now I want more for our next road trip.

Beautiful afternoon on the river, with a lot of information from Wiley about the river and the area. We really enjoyed it.

We VERY much enjoyed our relaxing Monday afternoon float with Wiley. Exactly what we hoped for. Wiley took us to the dam on his beautiful boat then a relaxing float back to Wenatchee. Beautiful scenery, great conversation and again so relaxing. Thank you Wiley. Did I mention Wiley also spotted a bald eagle for us!!!

Trip was great! Right after booking, they called asked why we were doing that tour, and after a few questions they rebooked us for a lil’ more adventurous tour. Our guide was Delaney, she had facts for everything and kept the trip fun and made you feel safe throughout. We did some great rapids and we knew the company was very safe. Would definitely do it again even move up to the next level rapids. An experience you will enjoy.

This was an exceptional trip! Our guide Adrian was so awesome and made the trip so fun for us and the kids. Just the right amount of rapids to be exciting, but some leisure time to enjoy the spectacular scenery and play on-board water games too!

Amazing! Much more than I expected. All the staff was incredibly knowledgeable on and off the river! Thanks for making my bestie’s birthday memories incredible. Shout out to our guide on the water Keelan and our guide off the water Don. Definitely coming back.

We had the most wonderful time our of the river! Our guide Skyler was very enthusiastic about his job, which made it more fun for us! Such beautiful scenery to enjoy and lots of fun rapids. Prepare to get wet!We were pretty worn out from traveling all day the day prior and then rafting, so I would recommend adding the wine tour if you know you are able to rest before and after! The stops were great, and we enjoyed the wine!

Absolutely phenomenal! Crazy fun (and WET) day on the river with exceptional guides, followed by an awesome afternoon with our team and the crew over beers. Excellent venues - great beer and snacks. Topped off with dinner, a big fire, and more exceptional comradery. Outstanding day with outstanding people. Worth every penny!

My favorite part is Don. He is supper nice guy. He tell us all about the history of the river and the local area. We did had a great time.

Wiley was super personable and delivered an exceptional experience for our family!

We thoroughlyenjoyed the experience onthe boat tour. Lots of funwith the spins and theinformation we learned.

Best experience! After going with other companies 3 prior times, we tried rafting with Rive Recreation. The owner and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. After several calls from our group, it was evident that River Recreation was the BEST at customer service. While on the trip, I felt the guides were best in class for fun and friendliness.

This was our first time booking with river recreation and it did not disappoint! Our family had the most wonderful time. Our guide Ahmed was AMAZING! He made it fun, but was also incredibly safe and highly skilled. He knew I was a little nervous and I could tell that he made extra effort to give me peace of mind. I was relaxed and had a blast. I didn’t worry once!! The owner Don was so nice to work with and the whole group was super fun and friendly. We are already planning to return next year.
