This family-friendly whitewater rafting trip on the Snake River in Jackson Hole covers about 8 miles through Class II and III rapids, including Big Kahuna, Lunch Counter, Champagne, and Ropes. The trip lasts between 3 and 4 hours and uses 17-foot self-bailing rafts that hold up to 12 people, providing more space and stability than larger rafts. The tour begins at the office on 180 Powderhorn Lane, where guests check in 30 minutes before departure. During check-in, participants sign waivers, use restrooms, browse the shop, and can rent river shoes or wetsuits; wetsuits are free for children 12 and under. After check-in, guests board a bus for a 30-minute drive to the river launch. At the river, a professional guide provides a safety briefing and issues life jackets and optional splash jackets. The guide then pilots the raft down the Snake River Canyon, allowing guests to paddle or relax while navigating the rapids. The trip includes calm river sections suitable for swimming and offers views of the canyon. At the take-out point at Sheep Gulch, changing rooms are available for guests to change into dry clothes before returning by bus to the starting office. Transportation to and from the river is included. Private rafts for groups can be arranged by request. Additional rental gear, gratuities, souvenir photos, and a Bridger-Teton Forest Service fee for guests 16 and older are not included. A separate Small Boat option is available for those seeking stronger rapids but is not part of this trip.
