With Methow Rafting, from the time you arrive at our riverside headquarters to the time you leave, our team works to ensure that your time both on the river and off the river exceeds your expectations.

Once you arrive at Methow Rafting we take care of everything you need for the trip, from gear, to instructions, to shuttle, leaving you free to enjoy a spectacular day of adventure and excitement! 

Your safety is our number one priority at Methow Rafting. Our kayak trips have a low guest-to-guide ratio to ensure your safety and make sure you get individualized instruction and attention.
