This 5 day wilderness journey down the Salmon River offers an unparalleled outdoor experience for families and adventurers of all ages.

The Salmon River is known for world class whitewater and we've got a boat to match anyone's desired excitement level.

We offer oar boats, where passengers relax and let the guide do the work; paddle boats, where paddlers and the guide work together to negotiate rapids; thrilling inflatable kayaks, where one or two people paddle a small craft; or you can even bring your own kayak or canoe.

You can choose your preferred craft each day. The rapids are rated “Class III”, which translates to an exciting, yet safe, ride. Your safety is the only thing more important to us than your enjoyment.

The Salmon River offers so much more than whitewater. There are long stretches of peaceful flatwater, ideal for swimming, learning to row or trying a different craft, or just sitting quietly and possibly catching a glimpse of a moose, bear, or golden eagle. Outstanding fishing opportunities abound for the family angler.

Each day we stop for short side trips to Sheepeater Indian pictographs, pioneer homesteads, abandoned mining claims, and even a hotspring. We can also take longer hikes: exploring side canyons or climbing to breath-taking vistas.

We camp each night at beautiful white sand beaches where your guides prepare gourmet meals while you hike, fish, swim, read, or enjoy a cocktail or a hot drink by the campfire. Our menu features savory fresh meats, locally grown vegetables, and irresistible desserts.

We know that your comfort is essential to enjoying any vacation. We provide sturdy tents, warm sleeping bags, and soft sleeping pads. It’s a great trip for inexperienced, first time, or even the most seasoned of campers.
