Currently, Wet Planet continues to set the bar higher for the Pacific Northwest’s commercial whitewater industry. From staff training to equipment choices, the following are all areas in which Wet Planet sets the standard:

Staff

Commitment to Our Environment

Part of the ethic behind Wet Planet includes operating the company in an environmentally responsible manner. Wet Planet hopes to inspire others to do the same through both education and being a positive example.

In 2010 Wet Planet became the first tour operator in the Columbia River Gorge to receive an Eco-Certification through Sustainable Travel International (STI).

This certification helps you differentiate Wet Planet from other “green” businesses. STI holds its Eco-Certified companies accountable in areas such as energy consumption, waste management, community involvement and impact on the local economy.

Wet Planet is also partners with Leave No Trace, Inc. and, where possible, use organic cotton and environmentally friendly dyes in their t-shirts, serve espresso from organically grown coffee, and follow the principles of minimal impact wilderness travel.

• Organization on the River
