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.

The snake river boat tour is a must-do if you have half day’s time in Grand Teton. Our guide was hilarious and the ride was very stable and smooth. The view is stunning and you won’t regret it.
Booked the last float of the season (September 30). The seats on the craft were quite comfortable, and the crew was very careful about safety. Tanner, our guide, was very friendly. He was the first to spot the 4 or 5 bald eagles we saw on the trip. He was also knowledgeable about the history of the region. The river was mainly calm with a few splashes along the way. Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Remember to bring sunscreen!
Our guide was very informative, easy to follow his directions to keep us safe. good natured we had a lot of laughs.
The guide is the bomb. Saw lots of bald eagles. The rapids at end were fun Go and take a crowd. Loved it
Relaxing float ride. Saw an abundance of eagles. Lots of beaver dens. Went at the end of September. Fall colors were so pretty. Our guide Dane was great
Beautiful tour. Mick was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw several bald eagles and a golden eagle. We traveled in late September so the river was low but still enjoyable
It was great and relaxing. Alex was a great guide. Unfortunately we did not see any wildlife except eaglles
This experience was well worth the time and money. When we come back we will do it again. Jack was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable!
The float down the snake river was amazing despite the weather. Joe was an amazing guide with excellent knowledge about the river, wildlife and told the most entertaining stories. He truly made the experience one to remember and we would definitely do it again. It started raining half way through the cruise but he did a great job keeping us entertained and engaged so we didn’t focus so much on getting rained on and the drop in temperature. The ponchos and Yeti blankets were much appreciated. Please tell Joe how amazing he is and thanks for an experience I will never forget. Geri & Denny Chance from Jacksonville, FL
Very nice trip. Crew was great. Very gentle and scenic. Everything went smoothly. I would recommend to anyone

1. Dress appropriately! Be prepared to get wet just in case. A little cold water will wake you up😉
2. Mid September is gorgeous but chilly on the water.
3. Have your camera ready. Moose, eagles and ducks were in abundance!
4. Sit back and relax...enjoy the tranquility 🥰 The sound of Mother Nature was pure heaven!

If you want a very relaxing beautiful couple of hours, this is it! Wonderful! One thing though, on Viator AND on our tickets the time was 2:45. We happened to get at the meeting place around 2:00 making sure we knew where we were going. Ends up the bus left at 2:15 and we were in the water by 2:30. Be watchful of time

Viator did a great job!! Everything under Viators control was first class! The organization and execution was very good.
The length of the float was great! The trip to boat and back was well organized! 5 stars!
The weather could have been better and I was hoping to see more animals but Viator can only do so much. I would do it again tomorrow. Thank you for a great experience

We had such a wonderful time rafting down the Snake River! It was the perfect combination of relaxing and scenic, with beautiful views and even some bald eagles along the way. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. It was a peaceful and memorable way to experience the river and the beautiful scenery. We would definitely do this trip again!

I called at 6 AM and was told the trip is on, even though there was pouring rain. We got dressed and drove 20 miles to the meeting point. At that time we were told the trip is canceled.
The entire ride was great. It was filled with a combination of gentle moving water and a bit of not so gentle. We were in the back of the raft so I was able to ask questions without annoying others who may have just wanted to float along. Alex was our guide and he shared info and answered any questions anyone else asked. BUT the very best part…….we encountered 3 moose right in the middle of the river. AMAZING. I recommend this to anyone who just wants sit and enjoy this untouched piece of earth.

We all had a great time! Nick was a fantastic and skilled guide. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Make sure you have a seasoned guide who’s going to be talking about the topography and the experience. Not about his personal life with one couple by him. They had long conversations just between the two of them about drinking, sports, hobbies. Which is all good, but there were other people on this excursion. Very disappointed. This is not the level of service Viator is known for.
This is a must do. Beautiful views going down the river and great guides. Everyone was professional and knowledgeable.

Great Experience. Saw a lot of Bald Eagles but wish we saw other animals. I guess its never a guarantee when it comes to animals. Very comfortable ride thanks to the seats with the seat backs. Definitely recommend the experience. The area is beautiful.

Beautiful scenery…a definite must! Was mostly calm…but a few of us got drenched so be aware! All was well organized, but unfortunately our guide was a lacking in communication skills…very disappointing
Outdoors in fresh air. The guide was good. But a little boring after 30 minutes. We did see bald eagles but thought we would encounter more wildlife.
Prepare to see lots of bald eagles. We even saw a moose on the edge of the river. Enjoy a few hours of floating.
