Beautiful views with a few eagle sightings! Our guide Eagan was knowledgeable and awesome. The whole group had a great time! It’s really great for just anyone, we were first time white water rafters and it was great! Good mix of relaxing and fun

Well organized adventure, a must if you are visiting Jackson area. Our guide Shug was so much fun and amazing as she guided our raft down the river and through the rapids. She created a fun atmosphere of teamwork on our raft as we didn't know everyone.

Toni_S, Aug 2026
It was a lot of fun. Dorothy is the best tour guide/ bus driver. She gave a lot of information about the area and history. It was a very pleasant apron 25-30 min to launch site

Amazing Adventure with Family

Donna_B, Aug 2026
It’s fun, thrilling and not as scary as I envisioned. My grandkids loved being in the front and getting soaked with water in the rapids. With all the tips from our guide, Delaney, and the straps to grab if needed made the wild ride very safe.

Great time for the family

Jack_M, Aug 2026
Great experience, and kids loved it. Nothing too technical but enjoyable for the family. Bus driver was very informative and our guide, Zach was fun as well.

The best thing we did on vacation!

Patricia_P, Aug 2026
We had our entire family 6 to 71 year olds, and this is everyone’s favorite thing we did in Wyoming. Our guide, Delaney, was fun and energetic. She knew all 14 of us by name within minutes. She kept us safe but still made it very exciting. Lots of laughs and fun screams. Thank you so much for such a memorable time!

Sara_B, Aug 2026
The rapids are class IIIs and you have plenty of time to drift and get to know your boatmates. Zack also let us jump in the river for a swim two times!

Incredible!

Michael_B, July 2026
We had an incredible experience! I traveled with my wife and 3 kids (16, 13, and 9) and none of us had done white water rafting before. We felt safe the entire time and we all walked away talking about how it was one of the best experiences we ever had. Our guide was Ashton and she was amazing! So in control, knowledge, and fun! The class 2 and 3 rapids were so fun and my kids had a blast in the front. I would highly recommend!

What a rush!!

Jayme_W, July 2026
Amazing all the way around! Our guide Sandy was great! Didn’t expect there to be that big of rapids but sure glad we did it - Was a rush! Definitely be back !! The kids had a blast and looking forward to riding “the bull” again!

Great time

Eric_H, Sept 2025
It was a great trip. We had a really fun time. The day turned out to be beautiful and weather was perfect.

Great experience!

Jordan_E, Sept 2025
The experience was great!! Class 2 waters - perfect for some excitement but we always felt safe. We were given the option to rent a wetsuit (end of September) and we were so happy we did, including water shoes. Very professional outfitter company.

Great first white water rafting experience with kids!

Jennifer_H, Sept 2025
Our family with 3 kids had a great time on this raft trip down the Snake River. At the end of September, the rapids are not as wild which was perfect for us since we had never been white water rafting. The water was cold but wearing the wet suit really helped and it wasn’t anything that kept us from enjoying ourselves. The whole process from check in to transportation to rafting was smooth and easy. We would definitely use Dave Hansen again!

Best rafting trip!

David_J, Aug 2025

The white water was just right for our family. We followed their suggestion to use wet suits . The scenery was superb. Vlad was experienced and excellent as a guide. I would highly recommend this experience. It was a highlight of our trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons.

Amazing experience!

Carly_F, Aug 2025
We had an amazing time! This was the first white water trip for our three kiddos aged 6-10 so we were a little nervous. Our guide (Hailey!) was incredible and made the experience amazing for the kids AND adults on our raft! We would return in a heartbeat!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hailey is such a gem! So glad your whole family had a great first rafting trip, and we can't wait to see you on the river again soon! -DHWW Team
