Snake River Scenic Float Trips
ince 1978, Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures has been entertaining fishermen and scenic guests in handmade wooden drift boats. For our Snake River scenic float trips, we float earlier in the morning and later in the evening in order to provide our guests with a pristine adventure, while offering the best opportunities to view wildlife along the way. Our guides have decades of experience on the water and are well versed in the ecology of the Snake River. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest level of customer service while creating lasting memories for our guests.
Luxury Snake River scenic float trips are a great way to experience the quieter side of Jackson Hole during the busy summer months. We offer a full menu of tours, with early morning departures, mid-day tours and evening floats, paired with a riverside fine dining experience. For family fun, a romantic afternoon or a gathering of friends, a scenic float is a wonderful way to disconnect from the hectic daily routines and reconnect with each other.
Vintage Wooden Boats on the River
he wooden boats you see in use on the Snake River were born on the banks of the McKenzie River In Oregon in the 1930’s. Over time, the design migrated east to the great rivers of the intermountain west. Nowadays, you may find these boats built out of plastic, fiberglass, or aluminum, but none of those carry the warmth and soul of an authentic hand-built wooden boat. Our fleet is comprised of a variety of boats, all hand-built and meticulously maintained by our guides who take pride in preserving these beautiful vessels. These boats are as beautiful as the waters they float, and are the most comfortable craft on the river.
The wooden boats of Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures make their way to Tipi Camp on a late summer afternoon. The distinct outline of the snow-capped mountains of the Teton Range in Grand Teton National Park can be seen in the distance.
