This was a great way to have a lot of fun in a short period of time. We picked RiverDrifters and the half-day White Salmon trip because of their proximity to Hood River and the availability of an afternoon rafting trip. Compared to other rafting trips we have taken, RiverDrifters did a much better job of letting us know in advance what to expect. This trip was very efficient. Unlike many rafting trips, this one did not involve a long bus ride to or from the put-in/take-out location. The ride to the put-in was quick, and we walked just a couple minutes from the take-out back to the RiverDrifters location. The wetsuits, splash jackets, and neoprene booties were all dry when we put them on - and they did a great job of keeping us warm. This trip does require a non-trivial walk on rocky terrain to get around BZ Falls, but it definitely was manageable and it wouldn't keep us from doing this trip again with RiverDrifters.

Great white water trip with River Drifters! Andre was our guide and did an excellent job, very knowledgeable about the river. The water flow was too high so we didn't get to run Husun Falls, next time! I highly recommend Oscar and his crew!

Michael was a great guide. He made sure that he understood everyone's desired level of adventure and made it fun for all of 6 of us. He also shared some background on the White Salmon River and the Hood River area. We did think he was kidding when he asked about jumping off a bridge. The brave souls that tried it loved it (but quickly got back in the raft!). River Drifters does a great job preparing you for the trip and making it easy to have fun. We'd do another trip with them!

Mary was an awesome guide. She was witty, professional and knowledgeable all in one! Very positive attitude helped too!

Oscar was a terrific guide! Had a couple of hairy moments but he had prepared us well. A fun day on a beautiful river-glad I went over the waterfall!!

Tammy_M

All of it! The guides are friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and appear to enjoy what they do! I took my teenage son with; when he found out we were going white-water rafting, he was not the least bit excited about it. Once we got on the river, his attitude changed, and he even sat on the nose of the raft while going through the granny drop (?). He is looking forward to our next trip!!!

Super fun. We are staying in Oregon but the Clackamas was closed due to road repair/post-fires so we opted for this Washington location. So glad we did! Took my teenager and we had a blast. The gear they provided was excellent - kept us warm. The raft guide Michael Fisher was awesome. Overall the perfect way to spend our last day of our trip.

Peter was the best guide ever! We got into some sticky situations and his ability to react quickly and command the raft saved us! Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a good thrill. Also, if you’re going to be on a raft going down rapids in a river that’s full of water it’s a good idea to know how to swim. You are putting yourself and your entire raft in danger otherwise.

Malorie was the best tour guide!!! That being said everybody was great. I went with a group of coworkers/ friends and we all had a wonderful time. The water and Scenery was so beautiful. Can’t wait to do it again!!!
