Great experience, and beautiful rafting on the Boise River. Just enough excitement on a few rapids. Close to nature and lovely birds and waterfowl. Jannica and Randy we’re great guides. A nice experience as a solo traveller too! They have everything you need, from water shoes to pfd and water and snacks. Lovely way to spend a sunny Sunday morning near Eagle, ID.

Easy, fun, experienced guides, great rafts and a beautiful river experience. We saw so many birds and a mink. If you didn’t come prepared, they got you and had whatever you needed.

Thank you for your review! This operation aims to accommodate a guest that is traveling light. Just show up as if you are going to the swimming pool and we will provide everything else.

It was fun and educational. Randy, our River guide, was great! You will get wet, so wear shorts or a swim suit and lots of sunscreen!

Thank you for your review! Jennica and Randy are great guides that help this operation provide a quality experience to guests. We enjoyed reading your positive experience on the Boise River!

What a fun experience. The guides were great and we had a fun relaxing ride down the Boise River. There were 2 "rapid" spots that had a fun drop also. Plus as a bonus we saw a bald eagle perched in a tree and an Osprey catch a fish out of the water. Would definitely recommend this activity!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your review! The bird life has been tremendous this year and so glad that you were able to see an Osprey successfully hunt with a plunge-dive. Hopefully you got to see the resident bald eagle on this stretch that has been hanging out all summer giving guests another treat to see at times :)

Went in the middle of the summer, rapids were very slow and easy. Very relaxing way to see Boise River. We saw a ton of wildlife, lots of birds, little gardener snakes, fish, even a mink. Our guide BJ was very kind and made us feel very safe. He lent his shirt to me because I had packed 2 pairs of shorts instead of a swim top. My ride was also late to pick me up and he and the owner stayed with me to make sure I was taken care of. I would definitely go with them again if I return to Boise and take their level 3 rapids tour that’s a bit longer.

Adam and Randy made sure we had all equipment needed to be safe and comfortable. We saw wildlife- bald eagle, turtle, geese, mink, ospreys and one even caught a fish and flew off with it. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He even took pics for us and emailed to us!

Well managed experience with knowledgeable boat captains and an excellent river to raft on. Would do it again when in Boise.

Went toward the end of the season— it was a very relaxing time on the water. There were only a couple of rapids. Great for all ages and abilities. The guides were very nice and informative about the areas we passed through while floating.
Laurie_C, Aug 2024
Great relaxing trip. Would recommend to everyone. Great guides, very knowledgeable. Would never believe it was in the middle of the city.

We had a great time! It was exactly what we were looking for… a little bit of excitement but mostly relaxing. Elliot was a great guide. He made us feel very comfortable with the adventure!

Really enjoyed our rafting trip, great way to see the wild life of Boise (birds, minks, etc.) while enjoying the Boise River.
Tom_W, Jul 2024
randy and adam were super nice and great guides. Enjoyed the commentary along the entire trip. Well worth the time.
Karen_C, Jul 2024
We came from Florida and Indiana for a concert. We planned the raft ride and it happened on a day with temps of 103, it was the best way to spend the morning. We saw lots of birds, fish, and even surfers. Randy was our rafting guide and was a delight.
Debbie_G, Jul 2024
Our Boise River rafting trip was just what my adult daughters and I needed. The water was calm and relaxing, and our guide was very helpful and fun to talk with.
It was refreshing being on the water. We got splashed a little--just enough to cool us off. The guides ensured that we had the proper safety geer, offered us water and snacks, took photos, and told jokes. What more could you ask for?
Note: Google Maps had me take a wrong turn for the meeting place from which to take the shuttle to the launching area. This made us late. Fortunately, our guide called me, and we found the group. The call and the fact that the group waited for us was above and beyond.

Our Boise River Guided Rafting trip was awesome!! We’ve been wanting to float the river and this gave us the perfect experience without having to worry about all the items needed and our safety. They have you fully covered!! Our guide was entertaining, our group was super fun, and we loved the fun rapids along the way. We’ll definitely be back & with more familia!! Thank you guys!!

It was our first water rafting trip, Randy and Adam were amazing guides. We felt very safe and comfortable with them.
Amy_S, Jul 2024
Really great trip. If you are scared, don’t worry. The biggest drop is 4’ and quite fun. Most of the trip is floating with intermittent paddling.
Eri_K, Jun 2024

I recommend it for any age!

Fun and relaxing - with a few exciting (small) drops. Beautiful scenery all down the river. Great tour guides!
Robert_J, May 2024
Our guide, Adam, was amazing! The float was fun and exciting. We learned a lot about the river. We give this a 10+ rating. The equipment and clothing provided to keep us warm and dry was very nice. Don’t miss this adventure.
Jerri_K, May 2024
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! He took pictures and sent them right away so we didn't have to worry about our phones getting wet. They provide everything you need for an amazing time down the Boise River!

The most memorable part of the trip was shooting over the rapids. I went in mid-September, and the river was very peaceful. We had the river mostly to ourselves. The guides were first rate!
