Did a solo trip out on the morning of a wedding I was attending and it was amazing! Our guides were great and the rafting was fun!! Also the photos turned out great! Nothing extreme at all but we all definitely got soaked!

This was a perfect day! We saw two mink. Our guide, Claire, was terrific and a wonderful conversationalist.

This rafting trip was SO MUCH FUN! We screamed with laughter and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rapids were exciting with just the right amount of thrill. The young people who managed the trip were delightful and I would absolutely recommend this rafting trip for all ages.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with AMF Rafting, and Claire and Sydnee made the entire trip unforgettable!
From the moment we arrived (we got there about 30 minutes early), they were welcoming, organized, and genuinely excited to have us. We ended up having the raft all to ourselves, which made the experience feel so personal.
Claire and Sydnee were the perfect combination of professional, knowledgeable, and hilarious. They made everything feel effortless. Even though it was our first time rafting together as a family, it honestly felt like we’d been doing this for years with them. They made us feel that comfortable.
Our 9-year-old had the time of his life! They included him in everything, answered all of his questions, and made sure he felt like part of the adventure. One of our favorite moments was when we passed some cows along the river and they immediately declared the next rapid “Moo Moo Rapids.” 😂 It’s such a silly little memory, but it’s exactly the kind of thing that made the trip so special.
We loved that they found a calm spot where we could jump in and swim, and the scenery on the Payette River was absolutely beautiful. The rapids were exciting without ever feeling intimidating, and the entire trip was fun, relaxed, and completely stress-free.
We left exhausted in the best way possible, with huge smiles and memories we’ll be talking about for years. Claire and Sydnee are incredible guides, and we can’t recommend them enough. If you’re debating whether to book this trip, do it. You won’t regret it!

5 adults, 2 teens - first time for all and they are already planning the next time. Would have loved a few more class 3. Claire was amazing

Clare and Ness were fantastic! They really know the river and were great at calling the shots on the river. They made it so easy and fun!
This company stands out to me because it’s small and feels like friends. There was another rafting company on the water and they had six or seven boats. They were maxed out with people. I thought that’s not for me, and was so thankful for the intimate experience and we had the river to ourselves once we let the hug party by.
We will go again soon !!

Absolutely amazing! Our guide Sydnee was phenomenal! She knew so much information and could answer any question we threw at her. I had 2 kids a 5 and 9 year old. She made it so interactive and fun that my adhd boys were cooperative and enjoyed the full session! Thanks again Sydnee!

We had an amazing time! Sydnee and crew were excellent guides and gave us the experience of a lifetime. The adventure came with complimentary photos too that we were able to share with family and friends. Thanks for making our trip exciting and memorable.

My dad and I are doing a 2500 mile motorcycle trip from Washington state to Arizona. We stopped in Idaho and decided to spend a few hours white water rafting as neither of us have ever done it before. Sydney and Dawson were so kind and wonderful to meet! We had such a great time on the river with them! Nelson, the young man that took photos for us, did an amazing job capturing the day for us! We highly recommend taking a white river rafting tour with these folks if you’re look for good times with fantastic people! Thanks AMF!

This was so much fun! I absolutely love that they included action shots from our voyage! Sydnee and her brother were very friendly and amazing tour guides. The water was more on the splashy side and not scary at all. We had such a great time! 100% Recommend!
