This was the perfect introduction to whitewater rafting! Blair and Josh and Thomas taught us the basics, precisely and clearly, with practice before we took off down the river. This was all new to me, and I'm not strong and definitely not well coordinated, but our guides were super gentle when I made mistakes. At one point, I climbed a large boulder to jump in the river (voluntary activity). Climbing was a challenging new experience, but, again, Blair coached me through it instead of telling me I couldn't or giving me too much help. The river afforded us plenty of postcard views, both calm waters and rapids, thrilling but never scary. Because the guides were good at their job, I felt safe and was able to enjoy the adventure. I'm definitely going again next year. Wear croakies and lots of sunscreen. Take a water bottle. Leave everything else behind. And, shout out to Will!…

Our experience with Outdoor Adventures in Index, WA was superb. Their organization had everything well planned, knowledgeable about guiding a Class 3 rapids experience and supportive of each persons ability to row on our trip. Would we go again? YES, plus stay at the Bush Hotel. Thanks a million for all your valuable advise with being on the river.…

My husband and I took a 2-day introduction to whitewater kayaking course. We had an excellent experience and improved our skills and confidence immensely. The course covered everything a beginner kayaker needs to know to safely make their way down Class 1-2 whitewater. We spent the first day covering gear, paddling techniques, self and partner recovery underwater, and learning about how to enter and paddle in a current. The second day we paddled a 10-mi stretch of the Skykomish, which was thrilling! Throughout our time, the instructors (Blair and Ayla) were supportive and encouraging. They offered helpful and personalized feedback that could immediately be used to improve our skills. They also made the class feel fun! A few days out, I am still on an endorphin rush from my first whitewater experience, and have fallen in love with the sport. I enthusiastically recommend this company and class for anyone who is interested in learning how to whitewater kayak in a fun, exciting, and safe way. I plan to take more classes with them.…

We had a fabulous time with our river rafting trip with Outdoor Adventures! They went above and beyond accommodating our extended family. We had a very safe, fun trip. Several squirt guns provided lots of competition and laughter. The scenery is outstanding, the staff amazing! Some fun stops were made where the kids found clay to play with. Another stop was at a large rock we could jump off into the river. We will do it again sometime!…
