Came with a group of 4 on 8/27/23 and we had a wonderful time. We made a reservation about a week…read morein advance and got the time slot we wanted which was around 1:30pm. Pricing: On the weekends, its $45 for the rental tube + shuttle. We also got the cooler tube which was an added $25 and was SO Worth it! Especially if you come late in the season like us where the river float is about 4-6 hours, thats a pretty long time and an extra float to put cold drinks and snacks was very much worth the little investment. Note - you have to bring your own ice for the cooler! They have a ton of parking onsite which makes it easy. We seemed to be the tail end since their reservation times end at 3pm. Check in was easy. They also have tiny lockers to put your keys in if you need. Their store has floats for sale and some other floating necessities. Things we brought: - sunscreen! - sunglasses and hat - watershoes or water sandals because it can be slippery/rocky in the river if you swim/have to walk in certain areas. - waterproof speakers - definitely makes for a great time! - change of clothes - which we left in our car for afterwards (this was nice because in the float, your butt is literally just sitting in water the entire time) - bug spray - might be handy if you plan to stop on land - phone protection - either a ziplock or phone bag because things can get pretty wet. - snacks - water - drinks - no glass! plastic and cans are ok, just make sure to keep your trash with you till the end where they have appropriate disposal areas. Overall, my group and I had a wonderful experience. The river was pretty slow and we had to walk one area but we knew that going in.

I got to choose from several virtual experiences for a work event: cooking classes, wreath making,…read morecandle making, and winter cocktails. I opted for the cocktail class and was so impressed! First, the quality of the ingredients they shipped to me was amazing, from a spiced honey ginger syrup and special bitters blend to candied ginger and dehydrated orange garnishes. We made three bourbon drinks (Woodford Reserve, also included), led by a mixologist from the Seattle area. I especially liked the Holiday in Louisville, which was a twist on a Moscow mule, and the spiced old fashioned. The webcast was well produced, with a couple of folks from our company co-hosting with the mixologist. If you're planning a corporate event and have remote team members, I highly recommend these virtual experiences!

What a fun day trip to Leavenworth! This trip leaves from south lake union at 10am, which I thought…read morewas a much better time & location than most other tours (8am & not centrally located). Overall Leavenworth was well worth the trip. Expectations were exceeded! We enjoyed a beautiful snowy drive with several Christmas movies & Trivia on both ways. The bus was surprisingly filled with people who seemed to be 25+ (a perk for us late 20's) but it would still be enjoyable for kids/teens. We left the SLU around 10am and arrived by 1pm, had time to explore shops and eat two meals, then got on the bus by 6pm and arrive by 8:15pm! It even snowed during our time there which made it extra memorable. Food and drink is super reasonably priced there, compared to Seattle at least. The host was entertaining and friendly. Only knocked off one star for the in-bus bathroom - it unfortunately wasn't the cleanest as was out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer - yikes! The host did walk around with plenty of snacks, water, and hand sanitizer later. Aside from that, everything was seamless! Thanks, Sound Excursions!

Something I've always wanted to try & I am sure glad we did. Due to the CrowdStrike/Microsoft…read moresoftware debacle, our flight from Chicago to Seattle was canceled less than 12 hours before takeoff. That made our original reservations impossible for us to make. I sent an email & Steve was very quick to respond (within 15 minutes on a Saturday night) and move our reservations to the next day (all within 25 minutes). Thank you so much, Steve! We are a family of 4 and all first-time rafters from Illinois. We ran the Skagit River of Class 2's & 3's. Eric was our guide. Carl was the guide for our partner rafting family from Georgia. Eric was awesome and made us all feel very comfortable. His knowledge & easy to follow instructions kept us all in the raft. This was a very thrilling ride for beginners with some slower floating time to just take in the pure beauty. Now my 14yo son & I have the itch to tackle some 4's & 5's - my wife & daughter said they'll pass (though they truly loved this Skagit run). If you are on the fence of going - stop thinking about it and GO! You will not regret it!!! Thanks, Eric, for a wonderful trip!!!

STEER clear of guide named Jesse. The majority of our group were beginner rafters and we made this…read moreabundantly clear. From the beginning of the journey, Jesse immediately resorted to yelling, swearing at, and belittling our group of 8, which made the group extremely anxious and on edge. This was a cake walk considering Jesse put the entire group in danger by continuing to guide the raft into rocks and forcing group members of a heavier weight to sit on one side of the raft. Needless to say, the boat tipped and one of the members nearly drowned due to his (Jesse) negligence, to which Jesse continued to make jokes about "waivers". Please do not make the same mistake our group did, and request another guide.

A group of six purchased Living Social vouchers for the Lopez Island 3 hour Sea Kayak Tour…read more We needed to take a ferry to get to Lopez Island. Plan accordingly. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ Outdoor adventures keeps the guided groups small (maximum 12 people). I appreciate the small groups since this was my first time kayaking. Three types of kayaks are available: single, double or triple occupancy. Discover is an accepted form of payment. A Discover Pass is required to park at Spencer Spit. If you do not have a pass, a $10 day pass can be purchased with cash or check. There were several rangers checking passes on our visit so be sure to have a pass visibly displayed to avoid being ticketed. WHAT TO BRING - Signed Release of Liability - Bathing suit or non-cotton under layers preferred - A synthetic shirt (capilene, polypro, Under Armor, etc) - Shorts or pants made of a synthetic material (may get wet/damp) - Lightweight fleece jacket or windbreaker/rain jacket to provide warmth - Water shoes or sandals that strap on (or shoes that can get wet) - Sun hat and/or sunglasses - Sunscreen and chapstick - Water bottle - Optional; Camera, Plastic bag for wet items and change of clothing - If you have a gift certificate or prepaid voucher (such as Groupon) please bring a printed copy with you! Dorito Dan was our guide for the day. Dan was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The first hour is dedicated to introductions, procedures and safety. Be sure to use the restroom before departing. Once on the water, there is no turning back. Kayaking is great for teamwork and communication. Both are required to avoid frustration. I recommend wearing weight-lifting/bicycle gloves in order to prevent blisters. Each person in our group started getting blisters towards the end of the tour. During our 3 mile kayaking trip, we spotted starfish, seals and majestic bald eagles. Thank you Outdoor Adventures for providing a magnificent day of play while surrounded by gorgeous Mother Nature. We all plan to return in the near future for another go-around.

This is everything we hoped for in a floating expedition. We wanted an introductory whitewater…read moreexperience with our 9-year-old boys, and they accommodated our request to navigate Level 2 rapids. Andrea was our guide, and she gave us a perfect stretch of sizable time on the Skykomish. In the middle of the trip, we shored the raft, and Andrea set up a delicious lunch spread. The spread even accommodated my wife's dietary restrictions. We also had the opportunity to swim around in a crystal-clear pool of water that was behind the rock bar. You could go with the mega-sized outfit that probably gets more hits on Google, but I've dealt with those companies. They tend to rush people in and out, and see their operation as more of an amusement park. With Chinook, Shane and Andrea love what they do, and have decades of experience on the river. They will give you the firsthand experience that you are looking for.

We were looking for a fun adventure that the whole family could enjoy. My son had just turned 10…read moreand wanted to take one of his school buddies with him. We read the reviews online and called them to book our adventure. We were treated with kindness and respect from the time that we got there. We signed the requisite waivers and were told that the rapids head tamed down to class three which was very manageable and safe for the family. They outfit you with wet suits and boots and it's suggested that you bring your own hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Our guy took the time to get to know all the folks that were in our group and arranged us in the raft, according to our age and abilities. My son and his friend sat towards the back of the raft, which turned out to be the safest and driest location. After a short walk-through of expectations and paddling instruction, we got underway. Smooth sailing for the 1st mile or so, and then we hit our first group of rapids. The guy did an outstanding job of keeping us afloat and telling us which side to paddle aggressively, and which side to back off on. Throughout the day, this continued and we hit several more aggressive rapids that were challenging, but a lot of fun. Photographers are located throughout the course and will get some great pictures of your group as you head down the river. They are available for purchase at the end. Overall, a great experience and a great day with osprey rafting company. Highly recommended!

They do rental tubings in the summer to River flow and snow supplies in the winter for the nearby ski hill.

It didn't want to go straight unless you fought the handle , the peddling was a alittle harder than the last one I rode it like every third strike was hitting or not hitting the water. The boat did start taking on water about 20 mins of the ride , but I am sure this is normal for peddle boats. Over all it was fun I just need to remember to get a different boat next time.

You have to make a reservation online in advance - they don't take walk ups. But it's really easy to reserve one and pay and I made my reservation like an hour before. You do need to pay to enter Lake Sammamish State Park unless you have a Discover Pass (which i do!). The SUP rental stand is at Tibbets Beach, so it's the first beach after you enter the park and there's tons of parking. Once you check in with Issaquah Paddle Sports, they give you a wrist band and direct you to the life vest station. And then you head down to the beach to get your equipment (they also rent our kayaks). I got my SUP and paddle and the guy said to come back in an hour. And off I went! It's a good workout! There are also boats and people on jet skis using the lake, so the water can get a bit choppy when they pass by. ISP doesn't have lockers, so plan accordingly. I don't like to leave stuff in my car, but I have a dry bag with me. The board I got didn't have any cords/straps/ropes that other boards have to strap my bag in, so I wore my dry bag like a backpack over my life vest. You do have to leave an ID with the employee as collateral. Don't forget to go get that back before you leave!
