4.00We had a fantastic 6-mile adventure boat ride on Lake Wenatchee! The weather was perfect—clear skies, calm waters, and sunshine all around. It couldn’t have been a better day to be out on the lake. The views were stunning, with peeking cascades and dramatic ridgelines. Our captain was friendly, professional, and very accommodating throughout the ride, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and excitement. Highly recommend this experience if you're visiting the area and want to see the lake from a new perspective!

5.00The boat ride had just the right mix of chill and thrill. The twists and turns were fun (not terrifying 😂), CAPTAIN WILEY was friendly, and everything felt safe and well organized. Whether you're looking to relax or laugh your way through a few light waves, this ride hits the sweet spot. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I drag my husband on it again even though he pretended to be brave the whole time? Absolutely. Highly recommend for couples, families, or anyone who loves a little adventure without needing a recovery nap after. 🚤☀️🌊
Super fun

1.00We tried to cancel this trip 2 hours after booking it as the website said that we could cancel. My husband had his 69th birthday on 6/12/25. After reading more about the trip, we decided against it. We were not able to cancel online and received a text that we needed to cancel with the 3rd party booking company. We tried and were not successful with no reply's from texts. We should receive a full refund.
Fun Local Staycation !!

5.00LOVED THIS Date Day Staycation!! Fun trip up & down the river in speed style!! Fun donut circles, slide in turns and quick stop added to the thrill of the ride & beautiful views of the Valley. Wiley's directions were easy to follow, important to read these for pick up site and what to wear was clear. Captain provided education & a safety brief before starting our adventure. Tons of fun- would definitely recommend. Enjoyed Pybus Market after.
