"We had a really fun time on the Skykomish river, perfect blend of adventure and a relaxing float. Blair and his team know the river and were great guides. Steak dinner at the end was a perfect way to cap off the day."
– Paul McKearnan · Tripadvisor"We had a great time with our kayak guide, Dan. Luca who stayed back with the rental business was also awesome. We loved the route and everything we saw and learned while kayaking on a beautiful day. Would definitely do this again with friends and also bring more family next time."
– Sara C. · Tripadvisor"We had a wonderful time river rafting on the river. My sister brother-in-law daughter and myself rafted and had a Fun Time. The next day we were able to try inflatable kayaks on the river right I front of Outdoor adventures in Index. My daughter enjoyed the goggles and looking at Salmon underwater."
– Shirleen S. · Tripadvisor"I took an ACA Coastal Kayak ICE through the Outdoor Adventure Center and they were flexible in working with my schedule. The instruction was top-notch and very personalized to help me in areas I needed. I would strongly recommend the Outdoor Adventure Center and their instructors."
– slmorriso · Tripadvisor"The River Rafting Fun Meter was pegged from start to finish. Amazing stories, white water and top notch equipment. You always felt safe and the guides made sure everybody was challenged. Starting in Index was amazing. Get there early so you can walk around the museum and the town. Make sure you stay for the dinner. The food is cooked right there and you will love it. Already thinking about when I can do it again."
– Paul B. · yelp"We did the 3-hour Kayak Tour on Lopez Island and we are so glad we did! Dorito Dan was our tour guide and it was only another couple with us so I feel like we were really able to get around the sound and he spent a good time with each of us going over information about the area and pointing out fun things to see. We were able to see deer, eagles, starfish, and seals! Such a great experience, we will definitely do this again! Thank you Dan :)"
– Kimi J. · yelp"Awesome time! We had a group of 14 for my 40th birthday and every one had a great time. Guides were knowledgable and fun spirited, steak dinner after the rafting was just perfect! The lodge and river front property was really nice to hang out into the evening. The water was running at record lows so we did a different stretch than normal on the Skykomish which allowed most all of us to use inflatable kayaks which were super fun. I felt like the whole experience was a great value for what we got. I will look into other trips this company does too."
