Top Chelan How to Get Around

Just a short drive from Leavenworth, WA, experience the natural beauty of the Columbia River on a relaxing two-hour cruise and drift through the heart of Washington State. This is a shared experience, with up to four passenger seats available to the public, and a professional captain handles all navigation. The experience includes approximately 20 minutes of travel using the boat’s louder main engine, followed by about 100 minutes of quiet drifting or traveling under electric-motor power at only a few miles per hour. Cruise north beneath the US 2 Bridge toward Rocky Reach Dam while learning about the river and surrounding landscape. Once the main engine is turned off, settle into a peaceful downstream drift and enjoy views of the Columbia River and its scenic confluence. This experience is designed for guests seeking a slow, relaxing sightseeing trip rather than a high-speed boat ride.
