Awesome and want to do it again! - Great folks to deal with. They gave us a good introduction to rafting and would recommend Idaho Adventures.

Dinner Float - The 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.

Can 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!

3/4 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.

Family Float - This 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.)

WORTH 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!
