Guest testimonials

Our rafting trip was the highlight of our vacation. Hootie, Caleb, and Co. did an excellent job of taking us down the river. I think our son Luke (age 12) now has the idea that he's going to be a raft guide when he grows up - thanks to Hootie. You are a wonderful team! Thanks for sharing your world with us!

Pacific Northwest Fall Whitewater Rafting

When other rivers in the Columbia River Gorge begin to run out of water, the Tieton River rafting trip steps up to provide more action-packed whitewater adventure.

A big wave, class III+ rollercoaster, the Tieton River charges through the scenic Yakima Valley from the Rim Rock Dam. Scheduled dam releases ensure that the Tieton River will never fail to provide the continuous, action-packed whitewater trip that our guests have come to love. This fast-paced rafting trip boasts non-stop action and minimal stopping points: the perfect combination for white water rafting veterans or beginners.

This whitewater river rafting trip provides the ultimate way to enjoy the beauty of the fall. Gorgeous foliage and towering ponderosa pines line the forested river banks and basalt gorges. And while the hot summer days may be fading away, the warm water released from the dam makes for an absolutely comfortable day of September Tieton river whitewater rafting in the Pacific Northwest, no matter the outside temperature.

Private Riverside Camp: A Whitewater Rafting Retreat

Our Tieton River rafting trips meet at our private riverside base camp, nestled in the majestic Snoqualmie National Forest. Similar to our headquarters on the White Salmon River, Wet Planet provides everything you could possibly need or want for a day of rafting.

Our mobile base camp will provide:

• High quality rafting gear (wet suits, booties, warm fleece tops and splash jackets)
• T-shirts and souvenirs in our mobile retail store, to remember your incredible experience
• Printed pictures of your whitewater rafting trip
• Freshly prepared BBQ lunch, to satisfy your hunger after an exciting river adventure
• Exclusive camping options for our guests

These benefits create the perfect retreat for any whitewater enthusiast looking to explore more of the incredible Pacific Northwest rivers. We encourage anyone planning to arrive early or leave late to camp with us, turning your rafting trip into a rafting vacation.
