The Sauk run was a great way to start out some serious white water rafting for those not so expert in it. Listen to the guides, watch the safety videos. Our whole group had an excellent time. Going again, I'd probably wear fleece jacket (I just had a synthetic shirt) , as they seem to work well. The river was fast and exciting. It's a great team activity. These guys know their stuff. read more

Beautiful day rafting in the Sauk! Thanks to our awesome guide Chris! Good times!!

We just did the tour and it was great. I'm writing this review on experience plus potential. We did the Skagit upper river am ride. It was cold and wet and not exactly a day I wanted to get wet. But side we were doing a family adventure while visiting there was no waiting for next summer. Instructors are great. They go over all the pertinent information, ensuring you understand, and it's not painful instruction to listen to. Much better than an airplane's takeoff. Either way, we had a 2 kids with us, and they made did they understood as well as check on with then during trip. The event itself had a few exciting moments. It really is perfect for families and first timers. Personally it was a little slow for me while soaking wet and cold. However, I've jumped school buses on a monster truck so.... My adrenaline level is a little off. But it was good to see the kids get excited but not too scared. And at the end of it all, cold aside it was great to be out. I'll take this ANY DAY over sitting on my couch. Our guide was great with the girls (agees 6/10) and made sure to keep them involved. Much appreciated as you can imagine how two wet cold girls can be for a few hours. Overall,I would definitely do another run with these guys, but it would be sans small children and on a river more suited to my likes. Very professional and friendly. read more

Blake & Kenny were amazing guides on the Skykomish river. We went on the last day of the season and had an experience of a lifetime. Our guides were highly knowledgable of the river and safety. We felt 100% safe and secure which made it so we could have an even better time. We will be back next season and hope we have Blake & Kenny as our guides again. We'll definitely try out some other runs through Triad as well. White water rafting can be dangerous and I cannot emphasize enough how safe we felt. The video before we went was helpful and the safety review was great when we were there. read more

What a fabulous trip!! We did the Sauk river with Josh - he was lovely, answering all our questions and making sure we were safe and sound. All of the guides were super prepared and diligent. Absolutely stunningly beautiful river - what a treat. We will be back for sure! read more

We had a group of 5 do the Sauk River. They provided wet suits, helmets, and life vests. Our guides, Josh and Miles, were great. They made us all feel safe and gave good instructions to get us down the rapids. The boat and paddles were great quality, and upon exit of the river we were all safely transported back to our cars on the bus. A ton of laughing and fun times were had with Triad today. I really hope my friends and I can arrange time off to do this again because it was a huge highlight for us. read more

We road the bubble down the Skykomish River. Boulder Drop at 9400 cfps. was once in a lifetime experience. Definitely a Cat 5 rapids. The half day trip was something I will definitely do again. Csaba was an awesome guide and Brandon sure knows what to do on this Category 4+ river. The entire crew that took us down was really top rate in my book. Triad does everything right. They have safety videos and tips to watch before you book your trip. Their safety orientation is the BEST I have ever witnessed. ONE BIG TIP: Parking at Big Eddy requires a WA State Park Pass. Mine was in the other car of course. Don't forget yours so you have an extra $10 to tip the crew. read more

Awesome experience! i had so much fun.. thanks Bridgette for taking good care of us! we'll definetely see u again in our next adventure..

We did the Sauk River tour last week. We had a group of 6 and a group of 2 joined our boat. We had so much fun! Or guide was JORDAN. He was awesome - fun & knowledgeable! He had us play "Rapids Roulette" on the more mellow rapids. He made sure we all got splashed. Super fun! read more

We had a group of 20 today (5/24/18) lead by Blake on the Middle Fork River outside of North Bend. We had a few boats and I can't express how much fun this white water river excursion was! The whole team from Triad was awesome! They are so friendly and professional and their guidance down the river was amazing. It is easy to be intimidated by any river but when you are with professionals who know what they are doing and how to orient the raft into each and every section, you have nothing to fear. If you get the chance to book a trip with Triad, do so. My 14 year old daughter is already asking me to set something up for her and our family and we will definitely be doing so. read more

Really enjoyed the Skagit River tour. Every expectation was exactly what the description from the website promised. Great scenery, good water with enough big class 2s & 3s to be exciting. Also distance between rapids gives enough time to enjoy the surroundings and not be worn out the entire time. Guides were helpful and friendly. Good introduction to whitewater, my 12 year old daughter had a blast. Warning, you will get wet and cold. Dress according to their recommendations and you'll be fine.If you've never been before, Triad is who I'd trust for a good experience and will definitely call on again. read more

Brandon, Blake, Kenny are awesome guides. Equipment well maintained and in good condition. Solid company. ‍ read more

An amazing experience second year in a row! Brandon was an awesome guide, we had the time of our lives this trip was exciting, trilling and soaking. Felt great on a hot summer day, we will definitely come back. Great experience for group of friends, coworkers or even solo! read more

We have rafted multiple times with Triad and return because of their commitment to safety. Their guides seem highly technical and very skilled. Plus, they're often a lot of run! Chabba took us down the Skykomish last weekend and we had a blast. read more

I absolutely recommend them! They have amazing service and guides that are funny, Informational, and just plain awesome. It was my first time rafting the Skagit River, one of the sweetest memories ever! Definitely going back for the next class level... Next year in June. Thanks for a wonderful time and experience. It was a special day for me and my significant other read more

These guys are awesome! I had the pleasure to spend the day with them on the Middle Fork during a work team building trip. This was my first time ever river rafting so I was a little nervous. After the orientation and getting in the boat, my nerves were gone for the rest of the trip. Our guide Josh was knowledgeable, entertaining and made sure we all had a fun day. I can't wait to do it again!!! read more

Triad River Tours is amazing! My family and I took a 3-hour rafting trip with them on the Sauk River near Darrington in Class III rapids. All of the guides were very friendly and encouraging. The owner of the company, Luke, spent a long time explaining safety and teaching us about the river before we headed out. The trip itself was one of the most fun adventures I've ever had! The rapids were exciting and the views were amazing; we even saw some bald eagles! I'm not a strong swimmer and don't feel confident about water, but by the end I was swimming in the rapids and jumping off logs into the creek! The guides even provided us with a campfire and s'mores at the end to warm us up before heading back. Definitely would recommend these guys; we will be going back! read more

Had the best time rafting today with Blake and Seth! Great fun perfect day for rafting and swimming. Did the advanced and it was amazing. Will go back in June - can't wait! read more

Rafted the Sauk River Jun 2017. Super fun, F*ing cold, and a blast. Would definitely go with Triad again. *Poop Emoji*

First time rafting for our whole group, a little worried because it was classified a 3-4. When their bus arrived, they were all helpful and kept us updated as to when we were starting. VERY organized in handing out wet suits, PFD's and paddles. Add in some humor as we donned our gear then onto the safety. Larson was very clear on his safety briefing and answered all questions so everyone understood. This really helped calm our nerves. Into the water we went and Luke described what to expect, we practiced our paddling and away we went. At first I wondered why he positioned the raft in certain directions, but his professionalism answered that and as a team we all had an excellent time. Along the way he pointed out points of interest, explained some of the history of rafting and some background of the guides. Never did we feel unsafe and all the people on the other rafts where cheering and having fun. The only disappointment was when it was time to get out, we could have gone for another hour. A short bus ride back to the parking lot and a life time of memories. Already looking forward to next year. read more

We had a fantastic tour!! The company is taking appropriate safety measure for CV-19 while still providing a wonderful experience. The Skagit river tour was perfect for our group of inexperienced rafters. Ian was a great guide. read more

Amazing! We went on a scenic river float last night with Nick. He was incredibly knowledgeable, not only on the river itself (including surrounding trees, wildlife, etc), but just about every subject we touched on or wondered about. He struck the perfect balance between being friendly, funny and just hanging out, and respectable professionalism that made us all sure we were in great hands, safety wise and otherwise. All the employees we met were friendly, funny, quirky and extremely, extremely knowledgeable as well as prepared as far as safety goes (and this was just a scenic float!). Luke (the owner) is awesome - super funny and super knowledgeable and experienced (20+ years). You couldn't be in better hands. The float itself was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. The absolute perfect way to spend an evening. Don't be put off by the 5pm start - it's the better one! Being on the water at sunset was amazing, there's no other word for it. I didn't want it to end. Just make sure to bring a jacket of some kind, as some people on our boat didn't, which is strange. Don't hesitate - these people know exactly what they're doing. We can't wait to go on a whitewater trip with them next year. AMAZING experience. read more

I am giving Triad 5 stars because nearly all of the guides were wonderful, the ride was awesome and we were kept safe. For all of their hard work, they deserve a 5 star review. But our guide (the owner I think) complained about the other guides during our rafting trip which seemed inappropriate. We also felt like he thought himself too good for his job and he wasn't particularly interested in us or in making sure we had a good first experience. That was a disappointment. But every other guide was marvelous! I never caught his name, but the awesome kayaker who accompanied us to keep us safe was so fun! Long curly red hair, can't miss him! He was so great and excited to share a fun day with all of us. So glad we were able to do this! read more

Had family visiting form out of town and we decided to do a little river rafting in the Sauk. This was our rafting experience ever. Luke and Josh were EXTREMELY knowledgable and gave a thorough crash course on safety. The Sauk was a great river that provided periods of intense rapids as well as times to take in nature's beauty and snap a couple photos. We were even given the opportunity to swim down a rapid (aka get tossed around like a twig while trying our best to avoid rocks and get oxygen) . If you have any intentions on doing this, I highly recommend you pay attention to the safety speech. All in all, we had a GREAT time. 5 STARS! read more

I was initially really scared to go river rafting. I had never been before. The tour was very good, the guides made us feel at ease. It was fun, exciting and doable! It was a great experience and wonderful value! The guides were very nice and a lot of fun! Highly recommend! read more

Omgosh what a great trip, we were in excellent hands with our 3 guides. They did excellent at educating the group on all aspects of rafting I have go be on quite a few rafting trips and feel Triad is above the rest. They pl l really care about the people they take out. I love that they used newer and high quality PFD's. Josh was our guide leader and did lan excellent job going over everything before we got on the river. He's hilarious too and smart! We felt we were in excellent hands. read more

Had a fun time on the Triad Saulk rafting Tour yesterday. Our daughters 16th birthday present. Ryan our guide was great!! AAA+++

There is no way I would go with this company again. They were late with no appologies and seemed very disorganized. I ran into a local while waiting for them to meet us and was told they did not have permits to run on the Skagit river, I have since verified they do have a permit which is required by the Forest Service. I still would not go with them again for three reasons alone. First they were not particularly knowledgeable about eagles, they were late, and I have since been told the reason we got wet was due to them using boats designed for white water and this is not a white water trip. If I had to do it again, I would ask questions in advance about whether or not the boat had a hard bottom. read more

Great and fun tour! Very experienced rafting guides and had lots of fun even though the weather was very cold.

Had a lot of wet and wild fun. It was a rainy day while we went but our guide Luke made the trip really memorable. A quick wit and sarcasm helped to lighten the mood, and his expertise down the river helped to make the route exciting but safe. Thanks Luke! #SquatchLife read more

My family had an absolutely amazing experience. Luke is incredibly knowledgable and professional. This is an excellent tour company. We ran the Sauk River. It was beautiful and thrilling - I highly recommend it!! read more

You'll love spending time on the river with this group! We had a great experience and will definitely be back! Very friendly atmosphere--the guides are knowledgeable, safe, and very fun! Thank goodness for our guide Luke! #SquatchLife read more

Luke was so accommodating in opening another slot with another tour guide so we could attend the time and date that we wanted. I was really nervous going into this as I have never done river rafting but they stress safety and were very organized. These guys know their stuff.Thank you Luke much appreciated!! read more

We had a great time! Real focus on safety, very knowledgeable crew.

"Juicy" best way to explain waves from our river guide Riley. My wife and I wanted to try something new for our one year wedding anniversary. We ended up buying this the night before on a whim. The trip was amazing and well worth it! read more

Two friends and I decided to drive up from Seattle to raft Triad's Sauk River trip on a Sunday evening. We had a single guy that was added to our raft before we departed. Our guide did a great job of reading and listening to our group and adapting the trip to meet our needs. We definitely worked harder than the two other rafts on our tour, but also had a lot more fun 'shredding'. I will definitely be going back to try other tours this summer. read more

These guys know what they are doing. Great trip for the whole family. Our guide Japhny was a lot of fun.

OMG OMG! I had canoed a few times in Lake Stevens and wanted to try something different for my birthday. I was a bit nervous but excited to try whitewater river rafting. It's a really long way into the boonies but absolutely gorgeous! They were very prepared. They had us meet at Marblemount Boat Launch. We checked in and piled into the school bus they brought for us all. It was a large group, maybe 20 or so people. We rode further upriver, got out at campground I can't remember the name of, and they went into all the water safety information. I do appreciate that they care about our safety and wellbeing. It was just a little unnerving to hear all the scenarios that rarely happen but can happen. I almost backed out at the last minute but my guide Alexi and our group were very positive and put me at ease. I got in the raft and I'm glad I did!! The river is a nice mix of some rapids and some floating along. It's not constant rapids. We also had some playtime with jumping in and out of the river, splashing the other rafts traveling with us and a sort of tug of war with our oars. It was a lot of fun and beautiful surroundings! When we did get to the heavy rapids it was actually a lot like riding the Victoria Clipper through the Strait of Juan de Fuca except for a much shorter time. When we got to our stopping point we all loaded up the school bus and they drove us back to our cars. If you're looking for an adventurous day-trip on the water, this is the place to go! I highly recommend Triad River Tours, they're highly-skilled professionals with compassion and an adventurous spirit. read more

Did the Skykomish river (class 4-5) with my wife and siblings. Our guide was Blake and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Kept the trip fun. Would definitely do it again. Brandon and Kenny were the other 2 guides and they were very entertaining. Can see that they enjoy their jobs. read more

These guys rock! Our rafting trip was awesome! Guides are amazing, knowledgeable, funny and professional! We had couple people who were afraid but everyone had a blast! Definitely will return! read more
