About

• The Skykomish River whitewater rafting experience is an opportunity for physically fit people, who are good swimmers, with previous whitewater rafting experience to enjoy some really amazing, and challenging whitewater.
• "The Sky", as it is often called, is a beautiful and classic intermediate-to-advanced whitewater run that features several Class 3 rapids as well as boasting the largest, most significant whitewater drop near Seattle: Boulder Drop.
• The Skykomish has a long tenured reputation as an outstanding whitewater adventure and has been the main whitewater attraction in the area since people began rafting in Washington decades ago.
• Boulder Drop, the largest rapid on the Skykomish, is considered a Class 4 rapid by American Whitewater but can reach into the Class 4+ range when the river is running higher.
• Some people refer to the Skykomish as a "Class 5 commercial run", as it has a level of danger and technicality that other Washington Rivers lack.
• Our expert guides love taking the technical route through this rapid and testing their skill with tenacious paddling crews. This is not a river for the faint at heart or the inexperienced.
• For those wishing for a more introductory river rafting experience we recommend our Skagit River Whitewater trip.
• The Skykomish River rafting trip requires excellent attention to safety instructions and paddle commands to give your crew the best chance of safely navigating the wild rapids.
• Eat a good breakfast, and lace up for a whitewater adventure that can't be beat!
• A beautiful river corridor that sits within a 45-minute drive from Seattle (with no traffic), the Skykomish River rafting trip offers an incredible escape from the rigors of daily life.
