How long do these rafting trips take?
With an approximate round-trip time of 2.5 - 3 hours, these trips are the
ideal length, long enough for a full river adventure, yet short enough
to allow consideration of other Jackson Hole activities the same day.
What should we bring?
Casual clothing such as slacks or jeans and comfortable soft-soled shoes
are most suitable for these trips. A hat with visor, water bottle and
sunscreen are recommended. For the cooler temperatures of the early morning
or an evening float, we suggest you bring a jacket or thick sweater.
Cameras, camcorders and binoculars may be brought at your own risk.
What do you provide?
We provide transportation from Moose Village to the launch site (you'll
end the float trip about a hundred yards from your car), rain ponchos
in the event of sudden showers and life preservers, which must be worn
at all times when in the rafts.
May we bring young children?
The minimum age for children on our scenic trips is six years with a minimum
weight of 40 pounds.
What if the weather is bad?
In the event of questionable weather, please call us about an hour before
your scheduled departure. Weather conditions may vary throughout the
valley, and it is often difficult to predict prevailing conditions until
very close to the pre-arranged meeting time. We reserve the right to
cancel trips due to inclement weather.
What times of day do you offer float
trips?
Float Trip times vary according to hours of available daylight and river
water levels. Please call for current float times. 1.800.365.1800
or 307.733.1800.
How rough are these river trips?
This stretch of the Snake River runs swiftly in places, and slowly in others,
and is generally suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
