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!!!

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.

Jennifer_G, Aug 2026

For the price our float was ok. The guide seemed rushed. He passed the raft that was way ahead of us that left at the same time. We saw a few bald eagles but nothing else.

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

Snake River Boat Ride

It’s a gentle ride down the river. Guides know a great deal about the area and got spot wildlife pretty quickly. It was a nice way to end a busy week.
