This was a family trip for our group (ages ranged between 26-57), and we had a blast. Our guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Their rafting gear was in good shape, fun atmosphere before the float, and a pretty good bbq chicken lunch. Hope to return for Class 4/5.
This is my second time rafting with River Recreation. I returned because I believe that they not only want me to enjoy myself, but, my safety is there top priority. Their guides are fun and full of jokes and stories. Just take half of what they tell you with a grain of salt! The Wenatchee didn't disappoint, and the rafting was awesome. After a delicious BBQ lunch, my group boarded a shuttle van and where driven to three local breweries to sample the local beer scene. Again, our guides where knowledgable and personable. It felt like hanging out with old friends. I would not hesitate to recommend River Recreation to my friends, and can't wait to come back and raft with them again. "Waves and Whisky", anyone?
5 family members on Tieton River. Amy at the company answered emails and phone calls in advance of trip. They accomodated my vegetarian daughter (gave her veggie burger vs BBQ chicken lunch). All gear was in good repair and many sizes. Our guide, Austin, was fantastic. Admin had split us in to 2 boats, but fixed that when they realized we were one family. They had an employee tracking the boats with a camera at about 5 locations, and offered a CD of about 80 photos of strictly your boat for $40. The other river companies wanted $20 for one photo or $40 for six. All employees were pleasant and accomodating. This location was Honeybuckets only, but clean. I've been on many river trips over the years, and found this company to be well run. All five family members voted to do another trip with them next year.Done
We went out on the Nooksak on a crazy day....the river had swelled during the week and the rapids were going pretty good. The first 1/2 hour was crazy but fun, my guide was awesome and knew what he was doing. A boat had flipped and the staff reacted pretty quickly to make sure everyone was safe. They kept saying these things rarely happen in all their 5-6 years rafting. It is normally a 1-2 hr ride but it ended up being 5 hours or so. Definitely a day to remember!
Great time with River Recreation on our trip down the Nooksack River with 27 Happy people. Even saw a few bald eagles on the second part. Our group is ready to do it again!!!
We were an older bunch of women and were a little concerned about how we would do on the water and how we would feel the next morning physically. It was perfect thanks to the TLC care we were given and level of excitement we had with some of the rapids. Not boring at all. Will do it again!
There were 5 of us on the Teiton rafting trip last Saturday morning. what a great experience from the "get-go". The communication before the trip was excellent. Our check in host Wes, awesome! I am sure he is also a great guide but our guide was Christian. We felt safe at all times, he is excellent in his rafting/safety expertise not to mention his awesome "paddle" disposition !! It made for a great experience.
River Recreation does a fantastic job. We floated the Tieton with them on 9/13 and they were extremely friendly, professional, had nice and ample river equipment, and overall ran a very tight ship so to speak. Definitely something I would consider doing again.
This was seriously the best river rafting experience just because of the laid-back friendliness of the guides. We had great instructions and they never once bent the rules, but fun was the focus of the day. I also liked that this company offers trips down other rivers than just one. I will definitely use them again!! PADDLES UP!!!
Two 50+ active adults had a great time on 9/9/14. The food was good, our guide was excellent and we would recomend this trip for anybody who is up for a little adventure.
