About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Tandysm0 contributionsHighly recommend Idaho Adventures!Fantastic 3 day/2night whitewater rafting trip! Our guide Levi provided a safe but exciting time on the river with lots of interesting history about the area. Everett & Jaz took excellent care of us at camp, delicious meals, comfortable chairs & tents all waiting when we got off the river each afternoon. Amazing scenery & wildlife including eagles, elk, osprey, beaver, long horn sheep…just a spectacular trip, highly recommend!Written September 2, 2024
- sh64550 contributionsGreat Rafting. Our guide was named Levi. He took real care of us old ladies with stories amazing maneuvering.Our guide was Levi and he took care of all 7 of us old ladies. we did the three day two night trip Our camp sites were scenic, food was excellent especially the breakfast french toast and the sinner salmon. Coffee was perfect but could have been ready a little earlier than 7 am😎. Saw lots of wildlife and was sad when the trip ended Thanks to allWritten September 2, 2024
- melsanddunc0 contributionsGreat way to spend 3 days on the river!What an incredible adventure! We spent 3 perfect days on the Salmon River (from Dead Water to Corn Creek)! It was the perfect way to introduce our family to multi-day raft trips. Our guide was great- he knew the river and knew exactly how to navigate the rapids so they were exciting, but not scary for our 9-year old son. We had the time of our lives! Not only was our time on the river great, when we got to camp, the kitchen was set up and appetizers & drinks were already being made; and before we woke up in the morning coffee was already ready! They took care of everything. We are a family of campers, so knowing how much preparation and thought went into the trip was not lost on us. They listened to our food preferences and everything they made for us was tasty. In the evening we had time to fish, read, and do whatever we wanted. I would do and redo this trip over and over again. Thanks, Idaho Adventures, for a great trip!!!Written July 31, 2024
- I5015HYsueh0 contributionsAwesome and want to do it again!Great folks to deal with. They gave us a good introduction to rafting and would recommend Idaho Adventures.Written September 12, 2023
- timj1230 contributionsDinner FloatThe float itself was great. Jamie, our guide, was very knowledgeable of not only the river, but the surrounding cliffs, shoreline and wildlife. He would manuever the raft so that we could take certain photos and kept us informed of what we were seeing, whether it was rock formations or specific bird species. The float was not rough at all which is what we were looking for (we're seniors). We used to whitewater but those days are gone! The dinner at the end of the float was outstanding. Chole was a fantastic cook/hostess. We had a choice of steak or Salmon. We couldn't have asked for a better meal or service. Couldn't resist having salmon...on the Salmon river...in Salmon. Hats off to Everett and Jazlyn for a superb company offering top notch service. Highly Recommend.Written September 5, 2023
- jimsA6617FP0 contributionsAwesome AdventureWe went on three day river /rapids trip. Can't say enough about this trip and Idaho Adventures. Every thing was done well and super professionally. Guides were terrific. All equipment was in good shape. Meals were wonderful. The river and sceneray and rapids were incredible and provided plenty of adreneline.Written August 22, 2023
- candacefranc10 contributionsCan I give 15 stars?I cannot say enough good things about Jazlyn, Everett and the company they run! We held a retreat up in Salmon and did the Gentle 3/4 float and it was even better than we expected. Our guide, Jamie, was wonderful and so much fun. He pointed out wildlife and talked about the surrounding mountains and trees and was just such a great time. The lunch Rose prepared for our group when we got to the picnic spot was delicious and exactly what you'd want after floating down a river for a few hours. The lunch spot was also perfect for swimming and we had a blast. We're already planning our next trip!Written August 2, 2023
- kurtisw8120 contributions3/4 day rafting trip.The raft trip was great! I got to explore the beautiful Salmon river and saw Bald Eagles as well. The guide was knowledgeable and answered our questions about what we were seeing and the background. The staff was friendly and lunch was great. I would use Idaho adventures again.Written July 30, 2023
- EmsmomColumbus0 contributionsFamily FloatThis company was easy to work with and very flexible for our large family group with lots of kids. We rented a raft and floated from their home base to Morgan Bar. Lots of places to jump out and okay in the water. The office crew and guide that helped set us up were great! (We floated without a guide.)Written July 3, 2023
- Lerwill0 contributionsWORTH EVERY PENNY!The scenery and the lush mountainsides after the rain was perfect. The crew was phenomenal! Highly recommend the scenic route so you can just enjoy the scenery. Next time I come back I will be hitting some rapids!!! Look forward to that with the Idaho Adventures Crew!Written June 24, 2023
- Andy B0 contributionsScenic float/fun guideGreat late season 1/2 day float. Very scenic view and our guide Rose kept things light, interesting and fun. We had a great time and would definitely recommend.Written September 25, 2022
- caseybY5584CV0 contributionsGreat family adventure!We did the one day river trip and it was great. The guides were fun and really made it special for my kids.Written September 6, 2022
- PatrickfromArizona0 contributionsWonderfulWe took the 1/2 day scenic float with Rosy. It was wonderful. Just Rosy and three of us. Very enthusiastic and informative. And quiet when just taking in the panorama. Even a couple of 2s, maybe. Highly recommend. Had a nice lunch at the end. And then waded into the river!Written September 4, 2022
- O7370JOleeb0 contributionsAwesome customer service!Jaz, Everett, and Lars were awesome. We showed up late, after they were actually closed and were welcomed in and they set up tours for the next 2 days for us on the spot. This was after a less than welcoming experience at another shop. Such great customer service!Written August 31, 2022
- Prescilla20030 contributions1-day river raftingThis was a great experience. We just got back and unfortunately a large fire continues to burn the mountains on both sides of the river. While the smoke was not too bad down on the river, getting there proved to be a task for the crew but they still made it happen. All the staff / guides were phenomenal, excellent customer service, and the lunch provided was very good and accommodating to gluten free and nut allergies. The water was pretty low but the guide still made it fun with hitting as many rapids as possible and splashes here and there. Given the situation with the unexpected fires and closures the staff was willing to refund or change up the trip as requested. They were very flexible and understanding. We would highly recommend this group for a river rafting adventure!Written August 26, 2022

This was a fantastic experience from start to end. After a nice drive up to the North Fork we put the raft in the river. Spent a few miles drifting along and getting used to the raft and then stopped to visit an old mine and have a snack. Hit some nice rapids along the way and had to hang on!
Rowan was a great guide and made sure we all felt safe and he also gave us lots of info about the canyon and its various animals.
Lunch was good and we had a pleasant time relaxing by the river.
Recommend the day trip for anyone who wants to try rafting.
Might aim for a longer overnight trip next year.

This was my first time river rafting of any sort and it was amazing! Our guides were Debo, Everett and Devin and they all made it great, as well as Jazz who was working the counter that day! They were fun, friendly and knowledgeable, and the scenery was beautiful. I hope someday I can come back with my family and ride with Idaho Adventures again.

Our family just enjoyed a one day whitewater rafting trip with Idaho Adventures. It is the highlight of our trip and our 12-year-old daughter claimed it will be the highlight of our summer. The crew and our guide were wonderful! They were fun, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable. They provided all the equipment needed and a shore lunch. We felt safe and prepared even though we are relatively inexperienced with rafting. This is a definite must do if you're looking for some fun adventure in the area.

Owners Jazz and Everett were fantastic, and our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. The water level was low so the rapids were mostly class 1 and 2. One person in our boat barely got wet. The canyon scenery was amazing, with bald eagles and bighorn sheep. Lunch was tasty, too, and they accommodated our dietary requests made in advance. Despite the low water, it was a really fun day on the river for our family and we’d use this guide outfit again.

My family had a wonderful time whitewater rafting. Our guide, Hannah, was amazing, fun and answered our many questions about local wildlife, environment, etc. We saw bald eagles and lots of big horn sheep. The scenery was beautiful and the weather could not have been more perfect. The rapids were fun and not bad for late July when the waters are calmer. The lunch provided was quick and delicious. I definitely recommend Idaho Adventures.

My family had an amazing time rafting with Derek and Devin. Derek did a fantastic job guiding us down the river and Devin had everything else nicely prepared for us. This was our young boys (8 and 6) first time rafting and they can not stop talking about how much fun they had. Definitely recommend!

An awesome trip. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area & was an experienced rafter. Forgot his name. We felt safe. Oh our ages 75 & 79. But active seniors. Guide made us feel welcome.

I did a 3-day overnight trip for my bachelor party and it was amazing! The team and operation could not have been better. We loved the guides and river and the food was fantastic. The camping spots were excellent - one was a large island where we were able to play capture the flag.
We looked at a lot of operators and picked Idaho Adventures based on the reviews - I am so glad we did! They were flexible and easy to work with and were also very experienced!

Our overnight on the Salmon was fantastic! The menu was great, plenty of food cooked to perfection. Camp site was superb. Jamie and Andy were great to hang out with, good conversationalists, and loved Andy's mandolin at the campfire.
We're now contemplating a Middle Fork or Main adventure in the future. Great trip!
