Our guide Fin was very funny and very knowledgeable about not only the river and rafting safety, but the surrounding area and some of its history. The trip was very enjoyable.

Emily was an amazing guide! As an experienced rafter I found the Skagit to be lacking in challenge but it was an introductory excursion so I wasn’t terribly suprised. Would recommend to any first time rafters or people who are seeking a super casual experience.

Andrew was an awesome guide and worked hard to make sure we had a great time.
It was our first time whitewater rafting, so I wanted to make sure it would be safe, as well as being a great adventure, and it was.
Tanzen got everyone relaxed and ready for the day, making things fun as well as educational.
The safety talk prepared us all for the worst, but thankfully it turned out to be a fun, safe day for everyone.
I would absolutely recommend this trip!

Great way to try white water rafting! It wasn’t too difficult or challenging. The guides are amazing at what they do, from keeping you safe and providing great information about the area and rafting. Our guide was Ethan and we had a blast. I wish we have tried it sooner! This place is totally drivable from Seattle

Doug and Hannah are both experienced and knowledgeable rafters, and very personable and humorous. They gave clear, concise instructions in a calm manner and we had great fun and synergy navigating the waters as a team in each raft! Definitely worth booking with TRAID River Tours!

Our guide, Josh, was very confident, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The river is beautiful and very tame for a first experience. My family and I thought it was the highlight of our trip to Seattle.

The guides were friendly and very helpful. Enjoyable float 7-9 miles down the Upper Skagit river just outside of Marblemount (brrrrr, cold water- wetsuit required in late June). Mostly class II rapids with one stretch of class III rapids (
