I went white water rafting last weekend and didn't know what to expect. Felt a little nervous when my mom told me that she hopes I don't die. I reassured her that I didn't want to die as well and am sure that our guide won't let that happen. Luckily it is kind of hard to die from a Category 3 rapid, but you do have a lot of fun.

It is about a three hour drive to Wenatchee (thank you Alex H for driving) where the rapids are. With the package, you get fed hamburgers, a wetsuit, a raft and a guide. It is about six people per raft but I do believe I saw one with about eight.

Rafting itself is about three hours long and you do get to hit a couple of good rapids. When you are not hitting the rapids you can play different games like war with other boats where you take a bucket, fill it up with water, and drench another boat and they get you back. You can also hold onto a strap, stand at the front of the boat and the other rafters spin the boat around and try to make you fall off. Other times you get to listen to your guide talk about all the crazy adventures he had while rafting.

The only real con about this other than the drive is the really cold water. But with how much fun you had, this is a very minor negative.

I forgot to mention, it is about $71 plus tip for your guide.
