Whitewater Rafting, Jackson Hole - Family Friendly Classic Raft

Please arrive at our office 30 minutes prior to your trip. This gives you plenty of time to check in, sign waivers, use the restrooms, and browse our shop. This is also when you can rent river shoes or wetsuits if the weather is chilly (wetsuits are free for kids!). Once everyone is checked in, you will board our bus for a scenic 30-minute drive to the river launch. After the trip, the bus brings you right back here to your car. You can shop for souvenirs, get information on how to view your professional action photos, and leave a gratuity for your guide before heading out!

The Main Event! Upon arriving at the river launch, you will meet your expert guide for a brief safety orientation and gear up with life jackets (free splash jackets are also available here). Then, it’s time to launch! Your guide will navigate the 8 miles of the Snake River Canyon using a center-mounted oar frame, giving you the choice to paddle assist or simply hold on and enjoy the ride. You’ll hit legendary Class II and III rapids like "Big Kahuna" and "Lunch Counter" with the stability of our Classic Raft, leaving plenty of room for calm stretches to swim and enjoy the towering canyon scenery. At the take-out (Sheep Gulch), we have changing rooms waiting for you. You can hop out of the raft and change into dry clothes before the comfortable bus ride back to town. (Looking for a wilder ride? Search for our "Small Boat" High Adventure option—the smallest, wettest, paddle-only raft on the river!)
