Hell's Canyon of the Snake River
This exciting multi-day whitewater adventure takes us through the deepest canyon in North America. Awake each morning to the sounds of chirping birds, the warmth of the sunrise, and the smell of coffee and breakfast prepared by your guides while you get ready for a day on the river. Whether your day consists of surging through world-class rapids such as Wild Sheep, Granite Creek, and Waterspout, hiking to see pictographs and petroglyphs left by native Americans, or exploring rock shelters from early European settlers, your day will be adventuresome, rejuvenating, and relaxing. Our Hell's Canyon rafting adventure runs are either 3 or 5 days. Give us a call now for available launch dates or more information on these incredible trips! return to top
Main Salmon River in Idaho
Accompanying this beautiful and historically rich area is an abundance of incredible whitewater! On this trip, you will have a chance to experience the power of the Salmon River in rapids such as Snowhole, China Slide, Sluicebox, and Demon's Drop. For whitewater enthusiasts eager to hone their own whitewater skills, the friendly pool-drop nature of the river (rapids are followed by stretches of calm pools) provides plenty of opportunities for our guests to challenge their own river skills and try their hand at the oars in a raft, or paddling solo in a duckie or kayak. Come join Wet Planet on Idaho's most popular river, and experience the Lower Main Salmon River. Learn how to raft, kayak, or just soak up some sun on this 4 or 5 day river adventure. Give us a call now for available launch dates or more information on these incredible trips! return to top
Costa Rica Adventures
As you may know, we started our year off Big with our March Costa Rica trip. This international whitewater adventure was a great success. The program, filled with numerous adventures in addition to rafting and kayaking, took our group on a whirlwind tour through this gorgeous country. Join us on one of our next Costa Rica Adventure, which are scheduled for October 13, 2007 and March 22, 2008. Sign up now, and you will receive a free massage at one of the resorts we will be visiting. return to top

With new multi-day trip offerings, an expanded Kids Kayaking Program, and additional Costa Rica trip dates, Wet Planet is going BIG! However, we still have our eye on the smallest details. Anyone can find a trip or course and experience why we enjoy being on and around the river is so much. We look forward to taking you all out on the river again this spring, summer, or fall!
