Must do at Wenatchee - We had an amazing time on this 6-mile boat adventure in Wenatchee! My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the ride, it was fun, exciting, and totally worth every penny. The guide was fantastic, took time to explain the area, answered all our questions, and even gave us great recommendations for other places to visit. 100% recommended if you’re in the area!

Boat Ride: 10/10, Would Scream-Laugh Again - The 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. 🚤☀️🌊

We met at the boat dock and talked about safety. Then we took off and it was so much fun and also very informative. - Our family had such a fun time. The boat driver was super nice and made sure we were having a good time. We are going to do the 15 mile boat ride in the future.

Fun Local Staycation !! - LOVED 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.

A Experience I would recommend to everyone - My wife and I booked a ride with Wiley not really knowing what to expect. And it surpassed anything we thought first of all Wiley was very knowledgeable considerate and practical I can't say enough for his character and his ability to interact and communicate with his with his passengers and once we got going my wife and I didn't take a smile off her face we kept looking at each other to see if the other is having as much fun as we were and it was a great time thank you very much

Fun adventure! - We 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!

Website said we could cancel. - We 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.
