5.00Had an amazing day our guide was Jay and he was so kind and sweet. He knew the area and river so well. We went with a group of 12 and had plenty of room.
Ask for Zen as your guide for smooth floating and laughter along the way!

5.00The float trip was a great experience. It was amazing to be on the river right next to the Grand Tetons. We only had 7 people in the raft which made it very comfortable. The guide had a great personality and answered everyone's questions. He also provided his own information as well. He handled the raft expertly and interacted very well with everyone in the raft.
Great experience on the Snake River

5.00We had a great float down the Snake River as the final activity of our stay in Tetons / Yellowstone. Jay was an outstanding guide, and made the trip that much more enjoyable - even spotting a couple moose as we neared the end of the float. This was definitely a trip anyone could enjoy with great scenery, a view of the Snake River you can not get from the overlooks, and a relaxing way to do all of that!
Solitude Float was Perfect!

5.00Our trip down the Snake River with our guide and captain Jay was fantastic! Jay was an absolute pleasure and so helpful and knowledgable! We had great weather and learned so much about the area, the wildlife, history etc. Jay spotted some bald eagles, and a very large bull moose! He found us great spots to get stunning pictures! The whole process to get us on and off the boat was incredibly smooth! I very highly recommend this trip if you can get it!

5.00Although the animals weren’t showing themselves during our trip, Bernie made the experience truly memorable with an excellent tour full of laughs, local history, and fascinating insight into what the Snake River region has meant over time—and what its future may hold. His storytelling kept everyone engaged the entire time, and his easygoing humor turned a quiet wildlife day into something just as enjoyable and meaningful. The scenery alone was incredible, but Bernie’s knowledge and personality really made the trip stand out.
