We rafted the Skagit River. What a magnificent way to spend at least 1/2 your day out on the water,…read moreyou get a unique view of the land and the water, totally worth it!! Some really breathtaking views and nice to escape some summer heat. Our guide Luke was super personable and very knowledgeable not just about the River but the surrounding wildlife and culture. As well as the regions surrounding the cascades. The conversation and jokes make the trip extra memorable. I recommend it.

I got to choose from several virtual experiences for a work event: cooking classes, wreath making,…read morecandle making, and winter cocktails. I opted for the cocktail class and was so impressed! First, the quality of the ingredients they shipped to me was amazing, from a spiced honey ginger syrup and special bitters blend to candied ginger and dehydrated orange garnishes. We made three bourbon drinks (Woodford Reserve, also included), led by a mixologist from the Seattle area. I especially liked the Holiday in Louisville, which was a twist on a Moscow mule, and the spiced old fashioned. The webcast was well produced, with a couple of folks from our company co-hosting with the mixologist. If you're planning a corporate event and have remote team members, I highly recommend these virtual experiences!

What a fun day trip to Leavenworth! This trip leaves from south lake union at 10am, which I thought…read morewas a much better time & location than most other tours (8am & not centrally located). Overall Leavenworth was well worth the trip. Expectations were exceeded! We enjoyed a beautiful snowy drive with several Christmas movies & Trivia on both ways. The bus was surprisingly filled with people who seemed to be 25+ (a perk for us late 20's) but it would still be enjoyable for kids/teens. We left the SLU around 10am and arrived by 1pm, had time to explore shops and eat two meals, then got on the bus by 6pm and arrive by 8:15pm! It even snowed during our time there which made it extra memorable. Food and drink is super reasonably priced there, compared to Seattle at least. The host was entertaining and friendly. Only knocked off one star for the in-bus bathroom - it unfortunately wasn't the cleanest as was out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer - yikes! The host did walk around with plenty of snacks, water, and hand sanitizer later. Aside from that, everything was seamless! Thanks, Sound Excursions!

Best rafting in the states…read more The guides are the best. They're super knowledgeable, friendly, and safe! They'll keep you safe on the water and make sure you have a good time too. They make these little stops along the river and tell you about the area. Blair the owner is a saint and will make sure your time on the river is the best that is possible. The Guides: James Michael is the best looking man in a wetsuit that ever lived, and will keep you safe. Robin is a motivator and is good with people that are meek or first timers. Kathy is the best planner and is good with booking big groups. I ONLY RAFT WITH OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, EVERYONE ELSE DOESNT COME CLOSE.

A wonderful SUP spot right on Juanita beach - though you do have to walk a bit to the launch spot…read more They have TANDEM and even FOUR PEOPLE, Eight people SUPs! and THREE PEOPLE KAYAKS! I have never seen paddle boards so gigantic. I paid $29 (+ tax) for 1 hour on a single paddle board. I forgot to take pictures, I wish I did :( The staff were super nice and gave very thorough instructions. The check in and check out process is really easy.

He gave us a quick lesson and set us up with the paddles and off we go. The kids went off without any problem, I had to kneel for a few mins before I can stand up. As long as you are paddling, it is not hard to stand up. You can see the beautiful skyline and lovely area around the Juanita reserve area. The water was clean and clear. We had so much fun! It was a wonderful way to enjoy the last bit of summer. We will be back next year.

Great price for a tandem kayak plus kind and helpful…read morestaff. Would come here again!

I'll start by saying: call ahead and make a reservation!…read more We were lucky enough to still get 2 paddleboards when we drove in on a Saturday this past August, but several families who were trying to get kayaks could not get them as they were fully booked! Check in took a bit, there was a long line, and then we had to wait around 15 minutes for the staff to bring out our paddleboards from the boathouse to the launch spot (which of course ate into our 1 hour rental). I believe all of this could have been avoided if we booked ahead! Will definitely be back again next summer, because the spot and the gear is amazing, just hoping the service gets a bit better :)

This is everything we hoped for in a floating expedition. We wanted an introductory whitewater…read moreexperience with our 9-year-old boys, and they accommodated our request to navigate Level 2 rapids. Andrea was our guide, and she gave us a perfect stretch of sizable time on the Skykomish. In the middle of the trip, we shored the raft, and Andrea set up a delicious lunch spread. The spread even accommodated my wife's dietary restrictions. We also had the opportunity to swim around in a crystal-clear pool of water that was behind the rock bar. You could go with the mega-sized outfit that probably gets more hits on Google, but I've dealt with those companies. They tend to rush people in and out, and see their operation as more of an amusement park. With Chinook, Shane and Andrea love what they do, and have decades of experience on the river. They will give you the firsthand experience that you are looking for.

NWOC has been a strong supporter of paddling sports for decades. They have promoted white water…read moreriver running, such as I do with Paddle Trails Canoe Club, as well as flat water such as lakes & sea kayaking. We are very luck in the Seattle area to have NWOC! I just learned about a Meetup group that does a monthly paddle from NWOC combined with having Swedish pancakes at the nearby (about 4 blocks away) Swedish center. Apparently this happens the first Sunday of each month. Several of us from PTCC plan to try that out.

Easy to reserve - call and let them know your name and type of kayak/paddleboard and that's it, no…read moredeposit required unless you're group size is larger than 7. What's great is that if you're out on the water a little longer than planned, you just get charged for the extra amount of time (rounded to the 15min interval). So if you come back in 1 hour and 15 minutes, you get charged for that exact time vs. 2 hours. Staff was friendly and helpful with getting people onto the kayaks/boards safely with life jackets and instructions on how to paddle. I think one extra tip that would be good to know is just pointers on how to find the entrance when we come back since we did get a bit lost, the lake is huge! There are also cubbies to store your personal belongings and changing rooms/restroom. Overall I would recommend and come back.

STEER clear of guide named Jesse. The majority of our group were beginner rafters and we made this…read moreabundantly clear. From the beginning of the journey, Jesse immediately resorted to yelling, swearing at, and belittling our group of 8, which made the group extremely anxious and on edge. This was a cake walk considering Jesse put the entire group in danger by continuing to guide the raft into rocks and forcing group members of a heavier weight to sit on one side of the raft. Needless to say, the boat tipped and one of the members nearly drowned due to his (Jesse) negligence, to which Jesse continued to make jokes about "waivers". Please do not make the same mistake our group did, and request another guide.
