Wiley was super personable and delivered an exceptional experience for our family!
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience on the boat tour. Lots of fun with the spins and the information we learned.
Today enjoyed the speed and whipping the boat in several different directions. The 360 cookies were a delight.
We had a great time!!! We would recommend the great experience with anyone!!! We will be seeing you next time we are in town.
We love the fact that Wiley was safety forward. Yet did not come off as a bore. We felt safe and comfortable the whole trip. Only downside is our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing. We had an absolute blast! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
High speed fun with a sprinkling of knowledge about the local community, region, and Columbia River Valley.
We had a great time. I was smiling the entire time. It was a nice way to beat the heat. We learned more about the river and town and laughed and laughed.
My husband, sister, her husband and I had a great time during our boat ride. I’m not a speed or thrill ride junkie, and this trip was just perfect for me. High speeds and some fun turns but always felt in control. My sister did get some motion sickness so we stopped the turns and just enjoyed the boat ride. The info about the dam and the converging rivers was very interesting. I love the pictures and the videos taken. This was a nice extra touch to allow us to just sit back to enjoy the ride.
The most awful experience. Do not recommend. Driver was very mean and had some serious anger issues .
We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. Safety is always our top priority on every Wenatchee jet boat tour, and our policies require the captain to take a firm approach if there are concerns that a rider may not fully understand or follow safety instructions. On this trip, four other riders welcomed the safety procedures provided, had a fantastic time, and even tipped the captain afterward. Unfortunately, from the start there were several misunderstandings—first about the city where the tour is located, then finding the meeting point (despite detailed directions provided), and later during the safety briefing. When a guest misunderstands or resists those instructions, it creates serious safety concerns not only for them but for the entire boat. While your friend sitting beside you clearly enjoyed the ride, it appeared you chose not to participate. Our role is to ensure that every passenger is safe on the Columbia River, and sometimes that requires the captain to be direct and serious. We will always uphold that standard—even if it results in a negative review—because guest safety is not negotiable. We regret that your perspective of the ride was negative, but we stand firm in our commitment to providing a safe, enjoyable, and memorable adventure for all who come to explore Central Washington.
We had the best time! The views were awesome and getting to see the Rocky Reach Dam up close was super cool. It’s one of those experiences that’s just the right mix of chill and exciting. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something fun and different to do in the area!
