Wooden Boat Tour & Dinner

As afternoon turns to evening, you are invited to experience one of the most exclusive meals in Jackson Hole. This fully private dinner river trip is reserved for your party and offers a rare blend of scenic floating, refined outdoor dining, and complete immersion in nature. Ideal for couples, milestone celebrations, families, or corporate groups, this experience is thoughtfully designed for guests who value privacy, exceptional service, and a true sense of place. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, as availability is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the evening.

Your adventure begins with a relaxing float down the Snake River aboard a restored antique wooden drift boat. Originally designed in the 1940s for the McKenzie River, these beautiful boats have been meticulously restored and outfitted with padded seating, supportive seat backs, wool blankets, binoculars, and a knowledgeable guide. This calm stretch of river includes active bald eagle nesting sites, making it one of the most reliable wildlife corridors in Jackson Hole for spotting these majestic birds. As twilight settles in, the quiet is broken only by the sound of moving water and distant bird calls echoing off the riverbanks. Guests often observe bald eagles, beavers, otters, moose, elk, deer, and a wide variety of birdlife while enjoying the rare solitude of being among the last on the river.

At the end of your float, your boat pulls out at our private ranch landing, followed by a short, scenic walk to tipi camp. Appetizers await beside a stone-ringed fire pit, featuring favorites such as charcuterie, hummus with pita, caprese skewers, nuts, and olives. Dinner is then prepared to order by your private chef, with premium entrées selected in advance—including bison, wagyu beef, halibut, salmon, black cod, or portabella mushroom—served family-style alongside seasonal grilled vegetables, fresh local bread, corn on the cob, and salad. Dessert, often berries and cream, is best enjoyed inside a candlelit, fire-warmed tipi as the evening unfolds at an unhurried pace.

The atmosphere at camp is intentionally relaxed and deeply immersive. Lantern light, crackling fire, and sweeping views of the Teton Range, Gros Ventre Range, and Snake River Range create an elegant yet rustic setting that invites meaningful connection and conversation. Designed with comfort and accessibility in mind, this experience is welcoming for guests of all ages and abilities. Guests may also have time to meet our Belgian draft horses that live near camp. More than a dinner, this is a complete Jackson Hole evening—crafted with care, fully customizable, and designed to be remembered long after you return home.
