Whitewater Pre-Trip Essentials

  • Waivers: Please sign your waiver ahead of time to speed up the check-in process!
    What to Wear: Keep an eye out for a “Pre-Trip Reminders” email coming soon. It’ll cover everything you need to bring.
  • The 48-Hour Shout: Expect a call from our team two days before your trip to confirm all the details and answer any last-minute questions.
  • National Forest Fee: there is a mandatory $3 BTNF fee for adventurers 16+. This goes directly to protecting the beautiful river we love!
  • Gratuity: While never expected, tips for your amazing guide are always appreciated if you have an unforgettable time!

Scenic Pre-Trip Essentials

Capture the Memories and the Tetons

Unlike our whitewater trips, you are the primary photographer today!

  • Bring your gear: Phones and cameras are more than welcome on the scenic float.

  • The Views: You’ll want to capture the sweeping vistas of the Teton Range and maybe even a bald eagle or moose along the banks!

Capture the Memories

  • Whitewater Trips: Keep your eyes peeled at Lunch Counter or Big Kahuna! Professional photographers from Float-O-Graphs and Snake River Photo will be there to catch your best “splash face.” View them at Floatographs or Snake River Photo
