A beautiful ride down the Snake River. Excellently run operation, everything on time, clean transportation(buses) to and from launch area. Emphasis on safety, clean dry lifejackets checked for proper fitting. Clear instructions. Our guide Margret was knowledgeable, accommodating, and able to maneuver the raft in any situation. It was an Eagle day with 13 spotted!

It was great! Very gentle ride down the Snake River. Our guide, Rose, taught us all about the wildlife, the river, the park. We saw ducks and 10 or so balls eagles. Everyone we encountered was wonderful. Hats off to our excellent bus driver, Alex. I highly recommend this activity!

Itinerary

Cruise through the Snake River Range and the Gros Ventre Range in a comfortable, secure ride. The Tetons and Snake River views along the way are magnificent, so bring your camera—you may spot a moose wading in a back eddy or an osprey diving in the river beneath the snow-capped Tetons. The 13-Mile Scenic Float is a section that is west of the town of Jackson, nestled between the Grand Teton National Park and the Bridger Teton National Forest. Opportunities to spot an osprey diving in the river for a cutthroat trout are abound with the snow capped Tetons as your backdrop.

Amazing experience lots of wildlife, the staff and our guide were really knowledgeable and friendly. It was a rainy day and they were completely honest with us from the start about the weather and the water conditions and gave us the choice if we wanted to carry on or get a refund. It was a once in a lifetime trip for us so we went ahead and enjoyed every minute….. and the sun came out. Such a friendly bunch I would definitely recommend this trip !

The choice was between a float trip and white river rafting. So glad we chose the float trip because of the sights we saw. You can’t drive where we went. Rose was great as a guide and our float friends were very enjoyable.
