A beautiful ride down the Snake River. Excellently run operation, everything on time, clean transportation(buses) to and from launch area. Emphasis on safety, clean dry lifejackets checked for proper fitting. Clear instructions. Our guide Margret was knowledgeable, accommodating, and able to maneuver the raft in any situation. It was an Eagle day with 13 spotted!

Cruise through the Snake River Range and the Gros Ventre Range in a comfortable, secure ride. The Tetons and Snake River views along the way are magnificent, so bring your camera—you may spot a moose wading in a back eddy or an osprey diving in the river beneath the snow-capped Tetons. The 13-Mile Scenic Float is a section that is west of the town of Jackson, nestled between the Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger Teton National Forest. Opportunities to spot an osprey diving in the river for a cutthroat trout are abound with the snow capped Tetons as your backdrop.

Peaceful float down snake river

Cheryl_E, Oct 2026
We had a wonderful time and a very knowledgeable guide, Zack. He pointed out numerous bald eagles and was a wealth of knowledge. The entire trip from pickup in a bus, float down the Snake River, and return, after 13 miles and about 2.5 hours was great. I recommend Dave Hanson’s company!!!

Steven_S, Sep 2026
The weather was the biggest effect on the day as we had a cold overcast day. We didn’t get clear shots of the grand Teton’s. Also, our guide was not very informative and did not engage as much as I thought he should’ve on the trip. We did see a lot of eagles along the way!

Fantastic views and wildlife

Christina_B, Sep 2026
A beautiful, relaxing trip down the Snake River with lots of wildlife and scenic views! Tucker was an amazing guide with knowledge of the area and history. Highlight was watching an adult bald eagle sail not far over our heads to dive into river and catch a fish. In all we probably saw over a dozen adult and juvenile bald eagles. Must do.

Great day on the river

Michael_D, Sep 2026
It started with a light rain but it stopped once we were on the river. Brian was an excellent guide, made the afternoon fun. Saw a bunch of eagles too!

Eagles, moose and beavers!

Expertly handled start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable guides. Fun facts and information learned and shared. I was a solo and a bit concerned about being alone in a group but everyone had a great time. Ashly was a most gracious and skilled guide.

Amazing experience lots of wildlife, the staff and our guide were really knowledgeable and friendly. It was a rainy day and they were completely honest with us from the start about the weather and the water conditions and gave us the choice if we wanted to carry on or get a refund. It was a once in a lifetime trip for us so we went ahead and enjoyed every minute….. and the sun came out. Such a friendly bunch I would definitely recommend this trip !
