All Adventures Rafting

Had an awesome time rafting down the White Salmon River with my family. Casey did a great job talking us through the safety aspects and what we could expect. He did a superb job guiding us down the river. Smiles all around! This is our second time with All Adventures Rafting. Great equipment, great people, great time!

Pete and Derek are super rad! This was our first rafting experience so I was a little nervous but the guys were thorough in their explanations prior to launch… what to expect, what to do, etc. They provide helmets of course, but also full wetsuits and booties, which were very nice to have in the frigid waters of the White Salmon Water.
We did the morning trip (Eddy Out) — beautiful scenery, fun ride — not too rough in the water. My wife and I were the only ones in the raft with Pete, which was cool — it made the experience much more chill and we got to go at our own pace — even stopping to cliff jump!
I would absolutely recommend this company, especially if this is your first time rafting. It was an experience that we will remember and talk about forever!

Our first rafting was über fun! Thanks to our instructor MJ, who was very professional, attentive to details, plus, he kept us safe & entertained!

We just walked into this on a beautiful Saturday and it was incredible. Everyone was sooooo nice. People make the difference. We did river rafting. I want to take more trips or classes with them, like kayaking. Wish I could live close by. Back to the most boring cubicle in the whole damn world.

Excellent experience. It was my first time white water rafting and the coaching, training, and rapids were just right for me. We had a really great guide who was very helpful, informative, and lid back (yet professional).
The only issue we had was finding the place because they are in the process of moving and the directions were not entirely accurate. Luckily we allowed ourselves plenty of time to get there.
Highly recommend.

NOTE: Please disregard the older reviews that comment about the owner, Karen. She no longer owns this rafting company. The new owners are full of people-​pleasing, joyous energy.
The guides are incredible! My work group has been going out on the White Salmon with All Adventures Rafting for the past seven years. The guides have ALWAYS been top-​notch. Thankfully, the new owners are working with the same guides.

Went with a group of 22 – 25 year-​olds and a guide named Sandy. Very cool guy who just really loves rafting and you can tell he’s genuinely a nice person. Took us off a waterfall (didn’t pressure us and half our group opted out but he had a good strategy and we nailed it) and was quick to act to avoid accidents. Going to book another one with him and try to do a crazy river.

I went rafting on the White Salmon River this last weekend. It was a beautiful and exciting trip. We ran Husum Falls which was awesome! Ryan Seaton was our guide. He was great. It was an excellent Saturday.

We rafted a White Salmon River run in late June.
All Adventures Rafting easy to find. I adored how the friendly guide directed our car to park. Through every step the staff made us smile and laugh. They were always positive and made me feel very safe having our 8 year old along for the ride.
They had wetsuits that fit everyone in the group, from the 8 year old girl to the hefty construction workers, I fall somewhere in between those two groups and I’ll admit that the wetsuit was tight and unflattering after getting splashed with a wave in the river I was sure happy to have it.
Our guide was Ryan, he was full of river factoids and was happy to point out scenic things when we weren’t paddling our asses off. Speaking of paddling, prepare to get a work out, now this is not intense long technical rapids but it was active enough where I felt exhilarated and active. The white salmon is a shady river so even though it was a scorching day I felt wonderfully cool down on the water. In fact I wish I’d made my daughter take them up on their offer of a waterproof windbreaker jacket to keep her arms warm. Like I said it was a scorcher and she didn’t think she’d need it.
Ryan had us as organized as a synchronized swimming team at the Olympics! He kept the attitude fun, but very focused on being safe. We paddled into shore 8 miles after launch happy and tired and ready for a beer.
This was some of the most fun I’ve had in years. I’ve already talked to some other friends about coming back this summer.

Our group had a great experience with this company. There were quite a few first-timer’s and they were very patient and made sure this was a fun experience.
The staff was very professional and Karen was very nice and the BBQ they cooked was delicious. They were also flexible with diets and cooked a salmon that was brought along to accommodate me.
I highly recommend them and I plan to raft with them in the future!

I took my entire team at work (14 of us) to All Adventures for rafting and a BBQ dinner on 5÷30÷2013. I couldn’t have been more pleased. The raft guides were top notch and kept us safe and entertained. The food was great and the owner Karen took care of everything we needed to have a great time. To think that our original team outing was to go bowling. Glad we switched it to rafting!
Although I’ve been rafting with this company over a dozen times in the past 10 years or so, it’s been about 4 years since I’ve been rafting. I never had a bad trip with them so I naturally selected them for this important team event. I was not disappointed and highly recommend them.

My second experience with this company was not good at all. We booked with them in 2009 and had a fantastic time all the way around, so when it came time to book our 2010 trip I didn’t hesitate to call All Adventures.
First there was some confusion with the original reservation, which took a few phone calls to straighten out, but when all was said and done we wound up with a reservation for 20 people at a special launch time. I asked the owner, Karen, if we could flex in a few more if the late RSVP’ers wanted to join at the last minute and she said that would be no problem.
When we arrived with 19 people I fully expected to have to pay for the 20^th slot, for the firefighter that couldn’t make it. Instead the group was rudely informed that we would have to pay for 24 spaces. The owner was extremely confrontational and completely tactless and when I started to ask if we could work out some sort of compromise she cut me off saying, «I’m completely serious.» I was extremely embarrassed and felt backed into a corner.
After dealing with Karen I had very little patience left over for the drunken boyfriend of one of the employees (I think Karen’s daughter) who rambled on and on and on about pretty much nothing while we waited for everyone to gather for the safety overview.
Once we made it to the water everything was great. The guides, MJ, Ryan and Rick, were all fantastic, and are the only reason this isn’t a 1-​star review. However the overall disorganization was once again a problem when we pulled the rafts out of the water and discovered Karen had only sent one van to pick up 22 people. A third of the group, and one guide, were left waiting at the pickup location for half an hour.
The White Salmon is beautiful and I strongly encourage all rafting enthusiasts to give it a run — with any of the many other companies that are available to take you.

This was our 2^nd year with this company. Last year it was a really great experience. Thus our return trip… the day was beautiful, we had 19 people and they were kind enough to give us a special launch time because of the amount of people in our party. Our guides were fun and knowledgeable. Little did we know the owner was going to charge us an extra $ 250 because we didn’t have 24 people (which was never mentioned as a must have to us over the phone OR in email.) The woman was extremely rude and very unprofessional. Her tone was unacceptable. ½ our party was left at the pick up site because the van forgot to come get us. It was very unorganized and not worth the extra $ 250 paid. Very disappointed. Especially when they charged us $ 20 (they said it was normally $ 30) for our pictures. That woman made an extra $ 950 because of our party being added to the day. She should have at least been polite. But kudos to our awesome guides! They deserve a better place to work. Next year we’ll go with a different company for sure.

I went down the White Salmon River with All Adventures Rafting and had a blast. They don’t jam pack their rafts like some of the other companies. They’re an awfully nice bunch of people. And they know what they’re doing. I’m amazed how experienced some of their guides are. Real pros.
It really helped to read all the info on their web site to figure out what to bring, and what would be provided. The White Salmon River is spectacular. It’ll be a jaw dropping experience for anyone who’s never been whitewater rafting.
Thanks, Karen, and all your crew.

On our most recent Oregon trip, we drove a couple of hours from Portland to raft the Salmon River with All Adventures Rafting. I was very nervous, as I’m a wimp and haven’t rafted in about 15 years. They outfitted us in helmets, wetsuits, and booties. Mike J (MJ) was our guide, and one of the other employees told us we got their best guide. Mike was extremely patient and explained everything in detail. He showed us how to stay in sync and how to go down the Class V waterfall, Husum Falls. Larry in the kayak followed behind us to save us in case we fell out. Luckily, we didn’t, thanks to our awesome guide.
The waterfall is optional, and they gave us a lot of prep for it (there’s a special stance for going down). We even got out of the raft and went up on a bridge so we could watch kayak Larry go down the falls. Mike told us it’s the only rapid of its kind in North America. We had to go down; I couldn’t miss out! We went down, no one went overboard, although two of us hit our heads on something. Still worth it.
The trip was totally exhilarating for the first half, and calm nature-​watching for the last portion. The waterfall marked the half point. During the first half, Mike was all business trying to prevent us from dying. We could relax a bit more during the second half, and he gave us some history about the area and pointed out the wildlife. It was hilarious when the visiting Canadian geese kept honking and flying away from us. The beautiful scenery surrounding us as we rafted down the river made it a perfect day.
I definitely recommend All Adventures Rafting. The trip wasn’t too scary once we got going, and the cold water felt great on the hot day. The staff is friendly, laid-​back, and knowledgeable. They seemed like cool people, and worked hard to give us a safe and enjoyable adventure.
