Nick was our guide down the river. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job. He kept us all engaged. I highly recommend a wetsuit especially if you are like us coming from Florida in September. Would totally do this tour again!

Trip was well run, our guide Charolette did an excellent job. The bus driver getting us to the rafting start point was funny and shared a lot of great history. The girls in the shop could have been more helpful. Also disappointed they didn’t have a variety of T-shirt sizes.

This is a fun and exciting activity rafting trip along the beautiful Snake River. We even saw an eagle and osprey overhead battle it out for a fish. Very exciting. Ben was an exceptional guide who was knowledgeable and fun. Dorothy drove the bus to and fro with lots of local information along the way.

We had a great whitewater rafting excursion with Dave Hansen Whitewater. It was our second whitewater rafting experience and the first in Class II and III rapids. It was a blast and we felt safe! Our guide Ben was great! He was knowledgeable (as were all staff members we met), gave clear instructions and was a lot of fun! Rafts, life jackets and rafts were in good condition. A great time for all ages just need to be mobile. We would absolutely go with this Dave Hansen Whitewater again and highly recommend.

If you are on the fence just do it! I am a first timer and was really questioning my decision then once I got there I realized everyone else was scared too. After meeting the staff and Delaney our team leader I felt so comfortable and I knew just to trust her and right away I started enjoying my experience. We saw bald eagles and the scenery was just amazing! I am so glad I decided to do it and I will forever cherish my experience.

Great experience for me 71 and grandkids 20 & 23. Jake ( Rooster) was a great guide. Kids still talking about being so happy we did this together. Life is short go whitewater rafting fun for all ages.
Gregory_S, Jul 2024
The rafts were a lot of fun. You catch some good waves and the scenery is beautiful. The guide was great and we had a lot of fun. The water this time of year was cool, but it was not freezing cold. Recommend!
Rocky_K, Jul 2024
Super fun and safe for the family. Would recommend renting a wet suit with the company. Snake river can be cold.
Steve_R, Jul 2024
Great guide Sam Williamson ! Great overall service from all employees! Awesome views, saw 3 bald eagles on the 4th, America!!
Mike_F, Jun 2024
Brian was our guide and did a wonderful job preparing us for the big water. The Snake river had lots of class three sections that were a lot of fun to run. I would definitely recommend this company and Brian in particular for a great white water experience.

I think this was the highlight of our trip to Wyoming. Vlad was an amazing guide and gave us an experience of a lifetime. He knows the river and judges your level to give you the best bang for the buck. Staff at office are friendly and helpful. Don't forget to get your photos that they snap along the way so you can show off to all of your friends.

Tour guide was excellent. Beautiful and peaceful way to enjoy a ride down the River. Highly recommend! 🙂
Carole_B, Sep 2023
Our 8 man raft was only staffed with 6 of us and our guide. It was perfect. Day started rainy but the afternoon ride on the Snake River was beautiful.
Chris_W, Sep 2023
Saw osprey and bald eagles. Our guide Alex was great. Some in our group would have liked more white water. Walk back up to the bus was long.

Our raft leader Zach was excellent, funny and very informative as to the beauty of nature around us. It was a very enjoyable experience for my wife’s birthday!
Robin_C, Jul 2023
Awesome group of kids that ran the trip. It was so much fun! Would recommend for all ages. We saw an eagle, Osprey, and an otter.
Susan_L, Jul 2023
My husband and I went on a white water rafting trip on July 7 with Ben (we had 8 people in our raft )..
Even though it rained for the first 30 mins which was irrelevant since we were going to get wet anyway, we had an amazing time. Our thrill and excitement were at max. Ben entertained us with lots of information and stories. He was a wonderful raft guide. I would definitely do it again.
Michael_F, Jul 2023
People were great. A lot of level 3-4 rapids. Family enjoyed the experience. Lauren, our river guide did a great job.
Lisa_B, Jun 2023
