W.E.T. ain't wet without our guides!
Experience : Our river rafting guides are educated & seasoned with rafting experience that ranges from 2 years to 25 years!
Qualifications : Guides are trained by our staff even if they worked with other companies prior to coming to W.E.T.! Why? Because we have specific requirements to uphold our standards of excellence.
Certifications: CPR & First Aid is a mandatory requirement for all of our guides. Further training is encouraged with Advanced First Aid, Swift Water Rescue, Emergency Medical Training, Wilderness Responder and guiding on Class V rivers.
Attitudes : W.E.T. guides have a strong sense of pride in executing each trip as if it was the first time. They bring a sense of wonderment and thrills to your trip; not a jaded, "...done-this-a-hundred-times" attitude!
Personalities : W.E.T. has long been known for having the best paddlers on a crew. Each personality gives their utmost for your enjoyment. Some of the guides are legends in the river industry. Their paddling skills have been sought by others to explore new rivers!
Past Guides: Some of our guides have continued on to career choices that include education, retail businesses, politics, art, photography, film, web design, marketing, and others. Guides are not the stereotypical, Hollywood-idea, hillbilly, backwoods paddlers from ancient history! They are educated, thoughtful and have carved a niche in society that exceeds your expectations.

We love 'em : So please, when you deal with the guides, don't assume that they are just a bunch of fun-loving knuckleheads! As a crew, W.E.T. is generous, unselfish, team players, strong & coordinated and they are #1 for you! We love 'em and we know that once you have rafted with W.E.T., you will be back !

| Rafting in the snow! Unbelievable... Guides can be so wacky sometimes... they just couldn't wait for the snow to melt so they bombed down the hill anyway!
Cold, but smiling! |
