About This Tour
The Skagit brings the wonder of nature and a wild flowing river to the fingertips of our guests. This river is extraordinarily special and has a mystical feeling to it due to the rich archaeology and historical past. This 9 mile trip through one of North Americas most gorgeous rivers awaits you! The Skagit is a mild river in comparison, but it's also very powerful; it's a great way to introduce someone to the sport, or to get started for the summer with some great whitewater that can be enjoyed by the entire family. If you or someone you love wants to get into rafting, this is the place to start.
