    Three hours on the Wenatchee River — a gentle float past orchards with swimming spots, suitable for children aged five and up.

    It was a fantastic afternoon spent on the river. The staff was very professional and friendly, making the experience enjoyable and safe. I will certainly go rafting with them again.John_C

    2. Whitewater rafting and brewery tour on the Wenatchee River

    5.0· 3 reviews· 10 hours

    Full-day tour: whitewater rafting followed by visits to three Wenatchee breweries, including dinner.

    An extraordinary experience! It was an incredibly fun (and WET) day on the river with fantastic guides, followed by a wonderful afternoon with our team and the crew enjoying beers. The venues were excellent, featuring great beer and snacks. We capped off the day with dinner, a large fire, and even more delightful camaraderie. It was a remarkable day with remarkable people, definitely worth the cost!scottbX9783QF
  3. 15-mile jet boat ride in Wenatchee with media package, Chelan3

    3. 15-mile jet boat ride in Wenatchee with media package

    4.8· 35 reviews· 45 min

    30 to 50 minutes on the water — thrilling jet boat turns, views of Wenatchee and Columbia Rivers, Rocky Reach Dam, plus photos and video included.

    My spouse and I, both in our 60s, had a fantastic time with Wiley, who made us feel youthful again. The boat ride was enjoyable and thrilling. He took the time to point out and explain various sights, including spotting some bald eagles. We highly recommend this experience to everyone.tdumyahn56
  4. Columbia River jet boat ride in Wenatchee, Chelan4

    4. Columbia River jet boat ride in Wenatchee

    4.7· 18 reviews· 15 min

    Ten to twenty minutes on the Columbia River — thrilling spins, scenic views, and an optional media package for video and photos.

    We attempted to cancel our booking just two hours after making it, as the website indicated we could. Given that my husband’s 69th birthday is on 6/12/25, we opted out after further consideration. However, we found we couldn’t cancel online and were instructed via text to contact the third-party booking company. Our attempts to reach them were unsuccessful, with no responses to our texts. We believe we are entitled to a full refund.960sherelleg
