Classic Raft Whitewater Adventure

Feel exhilerated and refreshed as you splash your way down the 8 mile whitewater stretch of the Snake River! This is Jackson Hole's most popular whitewater trip and is certainly a tour you'll never forget.

There are non-paddling and paddling positions in this raft. Most people choose this option because they are first-time rafters or are traveling with small children. Your experienced guide will ensure your safety and facilitate group paddling efforts while sharing the history of the area as well as information about the incredible local flora and fauna. The Snake River Canyon is rich in geological history as well as wildlife and your guide will point out some of the features that make this canyon unique. You may see river otters, osprey, and bald eagles on your trip, keep your eyes on the lookout! A lucky few might even catch a glimpse of a mountain goat, a mule deer, an elk, or even a grizzly or black bear.
