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

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.

Relaxing Float down Snake River.

Jolene_N, Jun 2026
This was a smooth relaxing experience floating down. We saw eagles, a bear cub, pelicans and beavers. Tanner our guide was the best. It was a small group and everything was taken care of.

Beautiful Day

Joan_D, Jun 2026
Lovely, tranquil ride down the Snake River with our guide Jack. We got lucky with beautiful weather so the ride was comfortable. Jack was very gracious to all of us. Wish we had seen more wildlife but apparently they are mostly out in early morning. We were all over 60 and have some mobility issues, but we were all able to get on and off the raft and felt very comfortable.

What an amazing ride!!

Floating Down the Snake River

Don_A, Jun 2026
The float trip down the Snake River was so much fun. Our guide, JoJo, did a great job guiding our raft. The seats were comfortable. During our pre-float instructions, we were informed about the safety of the rafts and what we should do if our raft became stuck on the rocks! That information (bouncing in our seats) came in handy once. The water is shallow in places. The scenery was breathtaking and the wildlife was so interesting. I would love to do this excursion again!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Don, thanks for shouting out your guide! We're so glad you had a fun time floating with us!

Great experience!

Sarah_W, Jun 2026

Beat ride on the Snake

Joi_W, Jun 2026
This float was super comfortable and serene. We had a great guide who knew everything about the area. We saw lots of water foul and moose. Such a nice ride with a small area of rapids which were so fun. If you need a soft seat with support, this is the best ride on the Snake.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi Joi, we're so glad you enjoyed the time on the water with our awesome guides! Awesome to hear you had a relaxing and comfy float with us, thanks!

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.

Response from Host, May 2026

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!
