Large Group, Team, or Family Events
Thank you for giving us a chance to host your upcoming large event. We have been doing this a long time and we understand the kind of stress that can go along with putting together a large trip. Triad River Tours has one of the finest, most professionally qualified guide staffs you will ever meet, and we have some great deals that will allow you to stop worrying about your itinerary, and start enjoying yourself. We also have some excellent wholesale pricing based on our cost structure that will provide deep discounts for your group. Utilizing this method can save time and money, so you can spend it on other fun activities for your group. If at any point you would prefer to simply talk to our staff, please call us at 360-510-1243 and let them know you are planning an event. We have simplified the process of putting together packages by following the step by step formula below. Because our group pricing is based on wholesale, reservations of this kind must be made over the phone. If you are in a pinch and can’t reach anyone by phone (or if you’re booking after hours and don’t want to miss out on the spot), feel free to book the trip using our online system, and we can make a suitable pricing adjustment the following business day (just send us an email letting us know and we’ll follow up).
What river do you want to run? With kids, seniors, beginners, or people that are just uncomfortable around water, it's always a safe bet to go with the Skagit River—beginner whitewater. Although we can handle large groups on any of our rivers, it's often best to take a good look at the different rivers and make sure you find one that's appropriate for your group. Here are the rivers we offer for large events, you can click on any of the links and it will open on a new page so you can decide:
When will you be going? Keep in mind also that each river has a season. Below is some estimations on what time of year is best for each river when accommodating large groups.
Skagit River Beginner Whitewater: July-August
Sauk River Intermediate Whitewater: May-June
Snoqualmie River Intermediate Whitewater: April-May
Nooksack River Intermediate Whitewater: July
Skykomish River Expert/Advanced Whitewater: June-August
How many rafts will you need? Generally with larger groups it will be cheaper for you to charter multiple rafts. While we must change our capacities when water levels raise or lower, in general you will find that we take 6 people per raft on the Snoqualmie, Sauk, Nooksack, and the Skykomish Rivers, and we take 8 people per raft on the Skagit River. So, simply take your group size and divide it by 6 if you'd like to run the Snoqualmie, Sauk, Nooksack, or Skykomish , and divide the group size by 8 if you'd like to run the Skagit. In some cases, river levels will be too low to run safely with our standard rafts and we may need to adapt the trip to smaller rafts carrying less than our standard 6 or 8 in order to make it down the river; if this happens we will contact you with options and fair pricing based on our wholesale cost.
How much will it cost you? There is some very good news here. Generally, not only do larger groups pose less of a burden for our guides, they also tend to be the customers that come back the most often. Simply put: we love taking large groups. There is also a tendency for the trips to be slightly more manageable, and even at times safer when the people in the rafts know and are used to communicating with each other; so you're doing us a favor, and we want to do one in return. We will send you a link to our safety video which you can forward to the group prior to the trip to make sure they are prepared; other than that just have them show up. Each river that offers a group rate will show a “private raft” option in the booking flow. On the Skagit River these rafts carry up to 8 people; on all other rivers, 6. You can do the math and determine how many guided rafts you will need for your group; you may then book your trip online or by calling us, knowing that you will have your entire group taken care of. If there is extra space in the rafts, we will NOT fill them with other guests. Essentially, once you are to the river, your group will have their own boats, guides, and the trip will be very much centered around them as a group. If your group has more than 10 people, you can use the following pricing breakdown.
