Great morning on the river
Our guide was very informative and we saw a dozen eagles, deer and a beaver! Fall is a great time to go to see the color changes.

Float trip
Very enjoyable. Not alot of wildlife but beautiful scenery. We did see several eagles and a deer. Guide was very friendly and made for a nice, relaxing float! Actual time on the water was about 1,5 hours.
D
Good trip
It was a nice trip but toward the end the seating became a little uncomfortable. Less people would have been better. We had twelve. Jeff was very knowledgeable and informative. We only saw Bald Eagles on our morning trip so don’t expect many animals.

Snake River Float
The float was the most perfect day. Iris, our driver, was friendly and shared lots of information about Jackson Hole. Our guide Colton shared knowledge about the wildlife of the river in an engaging manner. I recommend this float for individuals and families. Excellent value.

Beautiful ride
Great trip despite the rain and unfortunate lightning. Cecily got us to a safe area to ride out the storm. She was extremely informative and great at spotting so many bald eagles. She made what could have been a disastrous trip safe and enjoyable.

Best Captain ever!
Ree was an amazing guide. Smart, funny and superb captain. We did a scenic tour on a snowy day and we never got wet and had a great time. Reagan from front desk went with us and she was awesome. We saw an elk, two deer and two bald eagles plus a bunch of water birds.
