Class 3-3+. This version of our Wenatchee River trip is the complete trip, which includes our Choice Top Sirloin Steak BBQ and stretches covers up to 17 miles of the Wenatchee River.
Class 3-3+. Not much time? The "express" version of our Wenatchee rafting trip is for you! On this trip, we take you through just the most action-packed part of our full trip. Our Express trip covers 10 miles. (Express trips do not include meals.)
Two days, two rivers, twice the fun! The best way to experience the Wenatchee and Methow rivers is all in one weekend. After spending day one on the Methow River, you'll spend the evening relaxing on the river's edge at Lightning Pine Resort while we cook you an unforgettable dinner. Day two begins with breakfast and then we head out to the Wenatchee River where your river rafting adventure will continue with the largest rapids in Washington State!
This is our standard trip on the Methow River, covering 18 miles. There's lots of great camping and usually plenty hot, dry, Eastern Washington sunshine. If you love the Wenatchee, you'll love the Methow.
Class 2-3. Perfect for beginners, families, kids, and those just looking for a relaxing, fun way to spend the day. The Upper Skagit offers a beautiful float trip with a mixture of Class 2 to 3 whitewater excitement. Wildlife, mountainous scenery, and aqua-marine water make this a Northwest Classic.
Class 1 float trip. Float amongst beautiful Northwest scenery, play games, waterfight, and view wildlife. The Lower Skagit can be enjoyed by all ages, bring the entire family. Also a great option for those that want to enjoy the river but would rather pass on the whitewater.
Witness the Largest Gathering of Bald Eagles in the Continental U.S.Flatwater Float, All Ages WelcomeClass 1 float trip. November - March. Every winter the Skagit River is visited by up to 500 bald eagles and we offer raft trips to view the Skagit eagles. During the peak of the season, you might see up to 300 eagles during your trip. An unforgettable winter outing.
Class 3-4. Late August - Early October. When the late summer heat starts to dry up the rest of Washington State's rivers, the dam at Rimrock Lake is opened and the Tieton River becomes the fastest (and warmest!) river in the state. This is a non-stop action packed river and our longest river rafting trip (and our Tieton trips are longer than any other outfitter)! Located on the sunny, eastern side of White Pass, this river is just 30 minutes outside of Yakima.

We recommend you bring along either a fleece or a windbreaker jacket - even if you think you won't need it, just hand it to your guide and he will store it in our drybags. Wear a bathing suit for under the wetsuit that is provided to you. Don't worry about shoes, we provide booties for your feet.
How many people fit in a raft?
All of our boats can seat 8 guests.
What happens if I have 9 people in my group?
Simple - we will split your group in half. We will make sure that your boats stick together. We suggest bringing along a waterproof disposable camera so you may take pictures of your friends in the other boat. Also, it's works great in case you want to start a water fight!
Every white water trip with Blue Sky Outfitters comes with a top sirloin steak, 7 layer summer salad, corn on the cob, French bread, and soft drinks.
What happens if I don't eat meat?
We always have veggie burgers with us. Just let your cook know after the trip.
Our wetsuits are unisex sizes, running from extra, extra small to 4X king long.
What do the different river classifications mean?
River classification means the degree of difficulty of rafting the river. The higher the rating, the more obstacles (such as rocks and trees) are in the river. It does not mean the higher the waves. The Wenatchee and the Methow rivers are only class 3 but have the tallest rapids in the state.
Request your trip and date online and we will take care of you from there.
We accept VISA, MasterCard, AMEX or Discover for advance reservations.
