Wildwater River Guides

WASHINGTON RIVER GUIDE SERVICE SINCE 1980 For more than 30 years, we have been offering professionally guided river trips on the most scenic and thrilling rivers in Washington. Wildwater is made up of passionate river enthusiasts who have traveled the world for the sport we all love. Our goal is to change the way people view themselves and the world around them by creating relationships with the natural environment through fun, professionally guided river trips. Wildwater River Tours was founded in 1980 by Eastern Washington University senior student Rod Amundson. The outdoor recreation activities he once viewed as fun hobbies were transformed into a full-fledged river canoeing and whitewater rafting outfitter. Over time the business focus shifted from flat water canoeing to whitewater rafting on Washington and Oregon's best rivers. At the end of the 2012 season, Wildwater River Guides was born out of a desire to offer more ways to experience the beautiful rivers of the Pacific Northwest. Outfitted with the latest equipment, the company now offers expert whitewater kayak instruction, guided kayaking trips, and SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) trips in addition to whitewater rafting trips and guide training. Wildwater River guides is under permit with the U.S. Forest Service, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, and the North Cascades National Park.
