Nick was an excellent guide and very engaging sharing lots of stories and adventures. The raft was very enjoyable and it was a smooth ride with some great steering by Nick to take us down different paths to spot a variety of wildlife. Had a great time with the family and we all enjoyed the peaceful ride, wildlife, and landscape with the mountains in the background.

The staff are very helpful in providing an excellent adventure while floating down the Snake River. Life jackets are provided and securely fastened prior to loading the boat. The driver provides information about the river and wildlife. It is a wonderful adventure even for kids. I traveled with my 8 and 4 year old grandkids. They loved it!!!

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

Kind, professional, safety-minded staff. The rafts with seating were comfortable. Our guide JoJo kept us entertained with both stories and facts and promoted easy conversation among everyone in our boat. The scenery is breathtaking. Would definitely go again.

Snake River Float Trip Frustration

Holly_T, Aug 2026
Trip was canceled due to weather. We called prior and asked if it would be due to the forecast. They said no their radar doesn't show anything. Weather Channel showed thunderstorms. But we figured they knew more than us, so we traveled to the pick-up destination only to find out the event was canceled due to weather. We really understand the reason but the prior phone conversation vs. reality left us frustrated.

Beautiful peaceful ride with amazing views

A memorable experience

Elaine_K, Jul 2026
Our Snake River Scenic Float was one of the highlights of our trip! The scenery was beautiful, with incredible views in every direction. The river was mostly calm and peaceful, with a few gentle rapids mixed in, making it both relaxing and just exciting enough to keep things fun while taking in the surroundings. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience both fun and informative by sharing interesting facts about the local wildlife and history. The entire trip was well organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of from start to finish. The raft and seats were very comfortable. If you're visiting the area, I highly recommend the Snake River Scenic Float. It's a memorable experience for anyone looking to enjoy nature from a unique perspective. We would absolutely do it again!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Elaine, `thank you so much for taking the time to leave us an awesome review! We're are so glad to hear you had a good experience with us on and off the water. We hope you'll join us again on the river!

Fun and relaxing Snake River tour!

Teresa_G, Jul 2026
This is a great relaxing float tour! We saw several bald eagles, hit a little white water to get a refreshing little spray (only after our guide asked if it was ok), the little girls traveling with us got to to sit by Tanner and help him row at the end, and in general Tanner was a fabulous guide who had us all engaged in conversation the whole trip! We all had a blast and would do it again!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Teresa, thanks for the stellar review! We're so glad you had a great time with Tanner and we will be sure to pass this along to him. We hope you'll float with us again!

Float trip

Sue_M, Jul 2026
This was a pleasant float trip down a scenic stretch of the river. We saw some bald eagles which was cool.

Relaxing

Robert_M, Jul 2026
The float was relaxing . We saw many eagles and different birds , but no other wildlife. My only critique was that we started at the edge of the Tetons and floated away from them , so it was a limited view. The seats were comfortable and was a welcome change from the long days in Yellowstone.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Robert, thanks for the feedback! We're so glad to hear you had a relaxing float with us and we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review!
