    1. 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
  2. Columbia River jet boat ride in Wenatchee, Chelan2

    2. 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

    3. Private Columbia River boat cruise from Leavenworth

    4.7· 3 reviews· 2 hours

    Two hours on the Columbia River — scenic cruise under the US 2 Bridge and insights at Rocky Reach Dam, all in a private charter with a professional captain.

    We had a wonderful afternoon on the river, enriched by Wiley's extensive knowledge about the area and the river itself. It was an experience we truly enjoyed.D8478QWronniem
