What an amazing experience. Between fighting off river pirates and whitewater sharks, to amazing wildlife and scenery, gourmet camping cuisines and the greatest guides you could ask for. A trip of a life time. Thank you. Going to have to do it again. Shout out to Cam and Canyon. The Immortals of River Guides.

First time rafting and had an incredible, unforgettable experience! Our group was a mix of more experienced rafters and first timers like me and our fantastic guide, Claudia, made sure EVERYONE had an amazing time! She took great care of us while making the whole day super fun - the rapids were thrilling and the calm stretches were so relaxing. Claudia brought the river to life with her skills, knowledge AND personality 😃 Whether it’s your first time rafting or 100th, Adventure Idaho is the best!!! Thank you Claudia and Adventure Idaho for a spectacular day on the Lower Salmon.

An amazing trip! The beauty of the river and its surroundings is beyond description and our guide, Claudia, was amazing! She was both knowledgeable and fun and ensured everyone on the raft had a great time! Could not ask for more! Adventure Idaho struck me as being very well run company who takes safety seriously. Highly recommend both!.
Tons of fun safe river run!

This was a wonderful adventure that included learning about the local history, enjoying the scenery and beaches on the river, having an exhilarating experience of rafting some fun rapids made even better by the guides, Cameron and Canyon Smith. We can't wait to bring even more family back to Riggins and Adventure Idaho.
Be of hardy stock and persevere. Thank your guides as they are literally life saviors in all senses of the word!!

My husband and I decided for our 70th birthdays to treat the entire family to a rafting trip. Ages ran from 70 to age 6. We loved the rapids. Perfect for all ages. I am just getting over the vertigo that came on the 2nd day of the trip. The men and boys loved it all-the camping, sun and sand etc. The women and girls not so much. Keep in mind that we are not a camping family in any sense of the word. It was hot as blazes without any shade for 4 days. The saving grace was our guides-Hannah, Abe, Cale, Maia and Konner. They saved us from desperation, made our meals, played with our grandkids, always asked how we were getting along, etc. etc. Made it palatable for all even with my motion sickness. That is why I rate this trip a 5/5. Be ready for camping-which we were not. Be ready for the weather, Have a good attitude. It at least taught me and other family members perseverance!
