So much fun! Our guide was Oscar and he was the best part of our experience. He had us laughing the whole time and made us all feel comfortable enough to push ourselves outside of the box. Not only did we learn a some interesting facts along the way be we also learned the importance of having fun. These guys have the best job in the world and you can tell each of them truly loves it. Enjoy the ride!

I recently took my second full-day White Salmon rafting trip with River Drifters, and I cannot recommend them enough. They have an efficient system to get you on the river, keep you safe and comfortable, and give you an amazing experience! I've rafted a number of different rivers, but this trip has it all: thrilling whitewater, stunning views, a cliff jump, option to run a waterfall, a delicious homemade hot lunch, and THE BEST GUIDES. Mason was our guide in August, and he went above and beyond in every way. We had a person in our boat who needed extra help on the portages, and Mason was there to support, lift and keep it fun. On a previous large group trip, we had people who wanted a calm ride and others who wanted it spicy, so the guides adjusted to each raft's comfort level. I highly encourage you to do the full day trip. The first half is thrilling with lots of whitewater - can't miss that. The second half has views not to be missed, finishing at the Columbia River with all the wind surfers and kites for the perfect backdrop. If you are thinking of rafting in Oregon and want the ultimate experience, this is it!

Mike was our guide and he was fantastic. I brought my 10 yr old son and was a little nervous but it was an amazing expierance! I would do it again and again and I would recommend and ask for Mike every time! Also, they did not have his name on the venmo board along with the other guides. Can you guys please fix that so this man has an easier time getting tipped!
