Great fun with white water on the White Salmon river. Class 3-4.. up to 6 (depending if they're running the water fall). Just need swim suits and personal items. The companies provide the wet suits. Beautiful basalt carved route. 1 hr 15 min from Portland which is not common to have such great rafting so near a great city. I've... More

Now that Condit dam has been removed the river is free flowing and is simply amazing how its changed for the better. White water rafting is excellent and the fly fishing will be amazing once the fish return.

Met up with some friends for a great rafting trip down the White Salmon. We went with Wet Planet and they were awesome. They gave us everything we needed and drove us up to the river. All you really need to bring is a bathing suit. I particularity enjoyed passing the public launch site that was bustling with other companies... More

I am a life long Resident of the Columbia Gorge and for the White Salmon River to have an Oregon address is wrong. It is in Washington State near the town of White Salmon ACROSS the Columbia river from Hood River Oregon. Please Correct your information

My family and I (ages 7, 10, 13, 25, 29, 45, 45, 57, and 59) went white-water rafting with Zoller's in August 2011. The company is very well-run: clean wet suits, knowledgeable staff, great location. We asked if my 7-year old was too young and were told that adventurous kids like it and they were right, he had a blast!... More

My mother and I opted to go with Wet Planet for white water rafting excursion this past July. I am so glad we did. You can book your trip on their website, which is very easy to use. They immediately send you a reservation confirmation and information about your excursion. As I mentioned we went in late July and we're... More

We rafted the White Salmon for the first time and we chose Wet Planet over Zoller's. Wet Planet had a much better website and the friendly staff was amazing. Their base boasted a world-class espresso bar, lots of pictures of us rafting (going over the falls), t-shirts, Gorge Guides, etc. Our guide was amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend Wet Planet... More
