Overview

If you think floating down the Snake is only for the outdoorsy, think again. With this tour, you’ll ride a raft with high-back seats, making this ultra-scenic journey great for young and old. A stable ride across a gentle current lets you relax in the open air, catching some of Jackson Hole’s best views—and possibly even eagles, elk, moose, bears, and more.
  • Float on the Snake River, with comfortable seats a priority
  • Get away from the crowds and deep into the backcountry, where wildlife congregate
  • Great for most ages—no rafting experience required
  • Limited to 12 travelers, you'll get a fun, small-group experience

Very relaxing, fun and educational. Our guide JoJo was great. Lots of great info along the way and quick to point out wildlife. We saw tons of bald eagles. Would highly recommend this excursion to see the tetons and river from a different perspective.

Tour guide was very nice and seating was very comfortable on regular seats. Esther was great in early June.

I would recommend!

Jen_I, Jun 2026
This was a good, low stress float! The time went by quickly and the guide made it educational as well as interesting.

Totally worth it!

Marie_H, Jun 2026
This was a phenomenal float trip. Very mild and not scary in any way. We had an excellent guide who had a lot of experience. He pointed out many wildlife and gave lots of interesting info. Would maneuver the raft in such a way that we could get good pictures as much as possible. The seats were very comfortable.. One guy got wet shoes, but the rest of us were dry. There was no water in the boat, just a splash that popped in. They have waterproof blankets and waters for everyone as well as binoculars. we saw Eagles, white pelicans, other interesting birds, marmots. Very cool.!

Found Zen on the Snake River

Colleen_H, May 2026
The check in process was easy and the staff very friendly. A very short bus ride to the boat. The seats were comfy on boat and there were binoculars available to use and beverages for the ride. The water was pretty calm for most of the trip, a few smaller rapids. It was so relaxing on the boat and we saw marmots, pelicans, eagle, eagle nests, blue heron and beaver dams. Our guide was knowledgeable of the river and surrounding area. The ride lasted about 2 hours. Bus ride back to car was about 20 minutes.

Hi Colleen, we're glad you had a nice time with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a stellar review!

Wonderful experience for 2 seniors!

Eugena_H, Sep 2025
This was a beautiful trip down the Snake River, late September. I felt very safe and comfortable, with the soft seat back chairs and the waterproof blankets we were given! Our guide, Alex, gave us some info of the area on our way down & saw several Bald Eagles, amazing foliage colors, large fish swimming just under the raft! The other people that checked us, fitted our life jackets, drove the vans to take us to the water and pick us up, were also helpful and friendly. Certainly I would encourage you to think about taking this float trip!

Great Float Trip

Marcus_O, Sep 2025
Great float trip with knowledgeable guide. The seats on the raft were very comfortable and made the float trip more enjoyable.

Excellent!

Sheryl_O, Sep 2025
This trip was one of our favorite things we did on this trip. The comminication by staff before our trip was great. I received emails and text messages with information and directions. My questions were responded to right away. Our guide was perfect. He was informative about what we were seeing and always had a watchful eye to point out things we may have missed. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. I can't give enough compliments.

An awesome experience!

It is a great ride on the Snake River. The crew is very helpful in helping you get on and off the boat. We would do it again.

Riding the river

Sue_M, Sep 2025
The raft ride was great. our guide Will was very knowledgeable about the area. The ride along the river was just long enough to make it enjoyable. Many beautiful plants and eagles pointed out along the way. We were lucky to see 20 bald eagles and two golden eagles. Never saw a golden eagle before did not even know they existed.

Great adventure- Must do

Lisa_P, Sep 2025

Steve_B, Sep 2025
The float was nice but not the area I believed it would be. There were too many houses, fences, people hiking, a horse trailer. When I booked this float trip I believed it would be through wild country and nearer the Teton range. I enjoyed the trip but I wouldn’t do it again or suggest it to a friend.

We loved the float! Our guide was very engaging and enthusiastic. Nick, I think, was his name. I asked what our chances were of seeing moose, and he said rare, but one showed up for me! I was so excited! We saw probably a dozen eagles. It was my husband’s favorite activity on our 12 day trip.

Melissa_L, Sep 2025
Bring another pair of shoes to change into if you don’t want to walk around the rest of the day in wet shoes. We did the trip in September and was thankful we had the extra shoes. It was also a little chilly on the water, but a wonderful, beautiful trip!

Very peaceful afternoon...

Lisa_G, Sep 2025
Very peaceful afternoon floating down the Snake River. Having the seats definitely made it more enjoyable. Special shout-out to Ted who made the experience before and after departure more fun.

Relaxing Snake River Trip!

Highly recommend!

Katie_H, Sep 2025
Amazing! Got to see beautiful views and the fall leaves are gorgeous right now. Love how comfortable the boating experience is with the seats and it’s great that they provide binoculars! So glad I chose this company while my mom is in town!

Pretty scenery but way too long!

Jessica_C, Sep 2025
It was fine but a little boring. Float ride was too long to not see any wildlife other than eagles. Chairs somewhat comfortable but very firm to sit for 2.5 hours. Guide should have played music or trivia or something to liven things up and pass the time. We would have preferred an hour float at most.
