Optimum Adventures | Seattle-Based Adventure Tours and Packrafting Rentals

Welcome to Optimum Adventures!

We are a packrafting tour guiding and rental company based in Seattle, Washington offering one-of-a-kind multi-sport tours to alpine lakes in the Cascades.

Our multi-sport, adventure tours are designed for those seeking a unique weekend adventure or traveling to the Pacific Northwest. Our first-of-their-kind tours are the ultimate excursion that will allow you to experience the towering forests, turquoise waters, and glaciated peaks of the Cascades, one of the world’s most impressive mountain ranges.

Our tours immerse you in the wilderness of Washington State and involve a combination of activities such as backpacking (hiking and camping) and packrafting (next-generation kayaking). They are led by our experienced and knowledgeable guides, who will provide you with the skills and equipment you need to have a safe and enjoyable adventure.

We are proud to be the first company to offer tours of this kind in the United States, and we cannot wait to share our passion for adventure with you! Join us on an unforgettable journey and learn more about our day and overnight tours below!

Alongside our guided tours, we also provide packraft rentals for those seeking to explore the Pacific Northwest on their own terms. Whether you need an extra packraft for a friend or family member on your next adventure or are looking to test out the sport of packrafting, we’ve got you covered at Optimum Adventures. Our rentals come complete with everything you need for a safe and enjoyable trip, including paddles, life jackets/PFDs, dry bags, and other packrafting accessories. Learn more about our rentals below!

We will soon be offering packrafting courses.

I've been on multiple pack-rafting trips with Adam and it was an absolute blast each time. He goes above and beyond to ensure we're safe while having the time of our lives out on the water. The best part? Adam knows how to make it an absolute blast. His energy is contagious, and his genuine enthusiasm for nature is infectious. It's all thanks to him that I fell in love with pack-rafting. Trust me, there might be other companies out there, but there's only one Adam Jones. Most thrilling experience in the PNW!

Adam took us on a wonderful overnight backpacking and packrafting excursion that left me both stunned by the natural beauty of Goat Lake and excited to go on similar trips in the future!

Adam is an exceptional tour guide and all-around travel organizer. For our camping trip, he packed individual travel backpacks for every traveler and, as part of the pre-hike introduction, let us know exactly what to expect. Each travel backpack contained sufficient food and provisions for the duration of the trip. Adam helped us set up our tents and ensured that everyone ate on time and was nourished and hydrated. He has my full-throated endorsement. Picking up and dropping off was easy and we got some extra miscellaneous items that Adam realized would help us. All the gear was in great condition. We're already planning to rent from Optimum Adventures for next year's trip.

Adam went above and beyond helping us plan a packrafting trip, giving us a ton of varied route suggestions, everything from overnight river paddles to serene alpine lakes. Picking up and dropping off was easy and we got some extra miscellaneous items that Adam realized would help us. All the gear was in great condition. We're already planning to rent from Optimum Adventures for next year's trip.

We had an amazing weekend in the turquoise waters of the North Cascades thanks to Optimum Adventures! Adam made the rental process super easy and was quick to reply to emails and answer all our questions. He also called us to check in and confirm that we had indicated everything we needed on the online renral form. The rafts and gear were in perfect condition when we picked them up, and everything we needed was included (packrafts, paddles, PFDs, dry bags, inflation bags, quick inflation device). I can't wait to rent with them again and hope to go on a bigger guided adventure, too!

We had a really great experience!! Quality rafts, with good gear, and easy pick-up/drop-off! A really good and affordable way to get friends out on the water and test out packrafting.
