    From beginning to end this was both professional and exhilarating experience. Our guide Nick made rafting seem effortless even for newbies. His knowledge of the river and wild life made the trip educational and his joy for the river was contagious. We will be back!

    Great trip. Note: Meeting time is 30m prior to your chosen departure time.

    Great trip. Only thing missing was the meeting time is actually 30m before your departure time. The Viator app did not call this out and we were a bit late to check in due to this.

    Great information but jumps from one to 4 behind. It would be nice if you could put numbers that coincide with the audio

    Perfection!!!!!

    Rafting the Snake River

    The boring stuff: they were totally organized, friendly & on time. The fun stuff: the guide - Charlie- was great. Knew the land & river. We were in a boat of 7 & it was a blast. Some good rapids & stunning scenery. All around awesome experience.

    Excellent fun time!

    White Water Rafting is such fun and Ash was great! Friendly and really knew how to steer the boat. She was able to talk to us, steer, and give commands the whole time. Really fun! Not sure if there could have been more pointing out of birds or info in the area around us. That would be nice

    Great fun whitewater rafting

    Awesome trip with our guide Tristan! A must do when visiting Jackson. Felt safe the whole ride even though I was nervous for my first time white water rafting.

    Awesome!!!!

    The rafting trip was phenomenal. Ian was our guide and was spectacular. We had a good group that was very vocal and got along great. Thoroughly enjoyed the company and Ian's knowledge of the river and wildlife. Would definitely recommend using Jackson Hole Whitewater Rafting.

    Ian was a great tour guide!

    This was a first time, whitewater rafting experience that was full of thrills and we got really wet! The guide was very knowledgeable and everyone had fun! Would do it again if we ever go back!

    Awesome ride 😎

    Had an awesome time. Definitely recommend, specially the small boat as it seats less people and allows for better overall experience in my opinion. It's a great intro to white water rafting. If you sit towards the back, you won't get as wet and will experience a more peaceful ride. If you prefer adrenaline, ride in the front and rotate on the horn. It's for all ages...

    Wonderful White Water Experience

    Our guide was amazing. Small raft size was awesome - everyone got to participate. Everyone had a great time and got wet. Saw 2 bald eagle and a deer.

    Awesome family fun!

    My family (ages 50, 48, 20, and 17) had an excellent experience white water rafting. I was extremely nervous before because we had never white water rafted, but was put at ease immediately by the staff. Our tour guide was JP and he made the experience so fun! He was extremely knowledgeable and told fun stories the whole way down the river. He was extremely enthusiastic and you could tell he really enjoys his job. I also felt very safe with him at the lead. Our whole family had a great time and we were so glad we booked with this company!

    Family Fun

    Our guide Matt was fantastic! It was a great river raft for a family with a 14 & 12 year old. Fun for the whole family! Not crazy class 5 rapids but that’s okay.

    watch when you go through these guys. We were supposed to get a 8 person raft but ended up with 16 in the boat. Not what we paid for. Viator screwed up! Jackson Hole White-water made it right with us. Hats off to Jackson Hole White water. We still had a great time on the raft.
