Snake River Float Trips

Sometimes even we forget how truly lucky we are to be surrounded with the stunning natural beauty and exceptional wildlife we experience each and every time we’re on one of our Snake River float trips. After all, how many others can say they’ve floated down 8 exquisite miles of the renowned Snake River, the morning sun reflecting off the cool water, Black-billed Magpies calling from the conifers above, catching a glimpse of a chipmunk scurrying along the forest floor. Those that joined us on our most recent Snake River float trip in Jackson Hole were able to experience just that.

It was a wonderful week for bird watching on this week’s float trip down the Snake River. Spotted Sandpipers were abundant and we saw dozens of them darting along the shore. We also saw lots of Cinnamon Teal Ducks, their reddish plumage shining in the morning sun. And we saw plenty of what everyone loves to see on a Jackson Hole float trip: thirteen Bald Eagles graced us with their presence, looking majestic as ever in the late summer surroundings.

To experience the excitement and beauty of Jackson Hole in a unique way, join us on our next Snake River float trip. You won’t be disappointed!

    Morning float with tons of wildlife!

    "We had a very scenic float down the river in the early morning. Saw tons of wildlife, birds, even a mother moose and her calf! The fast waters were no problem either. Hot tea and blankets were provided as well, so our cold morning was still comfortable."

    Beautiful trip!!

    "My family and I (10 of us - all adults) did the float and dinner tour and had an outstanding and memorable trip! We saw lots of wildlife, the crew was great, and the dinner at their 'camp' was the highlight of our vacation to the Jackson Hole area. If you are looking for a great trip I highly recommend!!"

    Was that a dream?

    "Friends and I shared a magical experience on a horse-drawn sleigh to tipi camp along the Snake River in mid-December. The warm food, the rustic ambience, and the soft falling snow made for a quintessential winter afternoon. At the conclusion of our experience, the little boy with us turned to his mom and said, "Mommy, was that a dream?" Need I say more. A must-do."

    “Vintage Jackson Hole river experience!”

    We spent 2 hours on the river and 2 hours in the riverside camp enjoying a hand-crafted outdoor experience. Thanks to A.J. and Kevin for sharing their stories, history and wildlife along the snake river.
