Rapids like Ruby, Lake Creek, Time Zone, Tight Squeeze, Chair, Fiddle, Black Rock, and more will test your limits and bring out your inner adventurer. Get ready to navigate into a new whitewater timezone and immerse yourself in the present moment. Along the way, serene stretches of the river offer a chance to take in the breathtaking scenery. Watch for wildlife along the banks, and don't forget to look up at the stunning mountains above. In the end, you'll find yourself at the edge of a new timezone, both literally and figuratively. It's a place where memories are made, friendships are forged, and every traveler, young or old, returns to shore with a renewed sense of wonder and adventure.

OMG! Had the time of my life. First ever rafting trip. Got added to a family trip and they were awesome. The family was so much fun. Our guide, Maia, was amazing. Super friendly, confident, knowledgeable and made the trip fun. We had another guide along side of us in a kayak. Highly recommend this outfitter company.

Our family of six ranging from 77 to 7 did the half day with Ethan and Canyon (sp?) on the 3rd of July and had an awesome time! We’ve done this stretch of the Salmon many times with different outfitters and this was our best time yet. Will use Idaho Adventure moving forward!
Crazy fun story!

Oh my gosh…. Konner.. wow. So strong! Shoulders were massive, but he was so humble that he wore a long sleeve shirt to cover up. Now let’s get to the rafting. We were speeding down the river at PHENOMENAL speeds and accuracy and Konner using his pro skills made sure we used the best, biggest most scary part of each rapid. And now for the scary part, all of a sudden the cannibals from the riggins hills descended upon our raft In which we were much afraid. Konner (with a K) immediately took action bravely and boldly using his paddles he gave those cannibals what they deserved…. Summer teeth… once their incisors were gone they retreated back to whence they came. Overall Konner what a guy. Highly respectful kind easy to talk to as well as educational to would highly reccomend coming down to riggins and trying out adventure Idaho! Sincerely the dry bachelorette!!
