Requirements

Beginners and first-timers are welcome on all trips. Our guides provide full safety instruction and paddling training before launching, and every trip is designed to be fun and approachable for all skill levels. The minimum age is 6 during the regular season and 14 during high water in early June.

To ensure PFDs fit appropriately, children must weigh a least 50 lbs and have at least a 24" chest.

What to Bring

- Personal Water Bottle

- Strap-on sandals or appropriate river shoes

- Swim Wear

- Sun Protection (sunscreen, sun shirt, hat, sunglasses, etc.) (Avoid the “River Tax” and bring retainers for hats and sunglasses)

- Personal medications (EpiPen for bees or other allergic reactions, insulin, inhaler, etc.)

- Though it’s not required; tipping your river guide is appropriate and appreciated

River Condition

In our opinion, this is the best stretch of river in Idaho for one, two, or three-day whitewater rafting trips.

The pool and drop typology of the river provides plenty of terrific rapids coupled with peaceful pools and sandy beaches.

Rapid classifications change during the season according to the river's volume. This section of the Salmon River generally contains class II, III, and IV rapids.

Safety is our top priority, and if river conditions present too great a risk, we may make certain adjustments to the float in order to mitigate that risk.

Boats

We use a combination of paddle and oar boats on all our trips.

Paddle rafts require a minimum of six guests who are ready and willing to paddle. Paddle rafts are great because they allow more people to be involved and create a real immersive experience for participants.

Oar boats allow the guide to maneuver a smaller group of guests along with any gear needed down the river. While it is not required, having 2-4 paddlers in the oar boats is always appreciated.

Additionally, we do have a small number of single and tandem inflatable kayaks available upon request

Guides

Along with being personable and professional, all our guides have the experience and preparation needed to safely guide you down the river. Each guide completes a thorough, training program that includes river safety, rescue & first aid, guest care, and company-specific standards—going well beyond the state licensing requirements.

Our guides are genuinely passionate about the river and excited to share that experience with you.

As with any service industry, tips for great service are appropriate and appreciated.
