1. Decide Who is Going:
If it is just you, then everything
else is simple. You get to do whatever you want. However, many
people feel that whitewater rafting is an experience that is best
shared with friends. For those of you who are joining or leading
a group, you need to consider the characteristics of your group
when planning out the rest of the trip. We offer trips for all
kinds of groups, from families, to corporate groups, to wedding
parties, to Boy Scouts. Take some time to think about your group's
characteristics. The following are the types of questions you
should be able to answer about your group:
What are the ages? Have they been rafting before? Are they timid,
or are they looking for high adventure? Is your group looking
for an all day-trip or for a half-day trip?
2. Choose a River:
With Wet Planet you can choose between
the White Salmon River, Tieton
River, Farmlands River, Klickitat
River, and the Wind River depending
upon what your group is looking for. Each of these rivers offers
a unique whitewater experience. Whether you are a first time rafter
or an experienced river runner, looking for a half-day or a full-day
trip, trying to get the family out together or planning a team-building
getaway for your work group, one of these rivers will suit your
needs. Check out our rivers page or give us a call for help in
selecting a river.
3. Are you interested in other
group activities?
Your group might be interested in
a barbecue after the trip, or your family might like to camp at
our headquarters the night before the trip. At Wet Planet we offer
a whole variety of services outside of our rafting trips to make
your time spent with us a complete experience. Check out our groups
page or give us a call for ideas or more information.
4. Pick a Day:
We run trips May through September, seven days a week. The Klickitat
River and the Wind River run in the spring (May and June),
the White Salmon runs April through September, and the Tieton
runs in September. In the spring, the water is running higher
and faster, but the weather is colder. Later in the summer, the
water will be lower, but the weather will be warmer. Generally,
the busiest times of the year are the second half of June through
August, with weekends much busier than weekdays.
5. Make a Reservation:
Reservations are
recommended for all Wet Planet Rafting trips. It is possible to
arrive and jump on a trip that still has space without reservations,
but it is not very likely. In general, you should make reservations
as soon as you know when you would like to join us on the river.
Weekends in the summer fill up quickly, often months in advance.
On weekdays, it is frequently possible to make reservations with
just a couple of days' notice. To make reservations, just contact
us at Wet Planet.
6. Show up at the Wet Planet Headquarters:
Once your reservations are complete, all you need to do is arrive
at Wet Planet with your group at the time of your scheduled trip
time. We will take care of everything else from there, so you
can relax and enjoy your whitewater adventure.
