Season Kickoff Event
Raft the Highest Volume Rapids in the Whitewater State!
Kick off rafting season with Adventure Idaho in Riggins. Spring runoff brings big waves, cold water and green canyon walls along the Salmon River. Come for the action, camp with friends and enjoy a weekend built around kicking off another great river season.
We’re keeping this year’s event simple: big water, time together. You bring your camping setup and personal gear. We handle the guided rafting and river shuttles.

"We had the most amazing, half-day rafting trip with Adventure Idaho. Our guide, Jared, was fun and professional at the same time! The staff is great and our raft was nice. A great experience overall!! Would definitely recommend."

"No relation, came out from Virginia and booked, here, my first white water rafting trip.
An overwhelmingly positive experience!
We came late in the rafting season (Aug) and there was one class 4 set of rapids and a host of others; all fun!
The pacing was on point, with plenty opportunities to swim, chill, or chat. Our guide brought light and levity, and was knowledgeable about the region, our route, and left no doubt as I boarded the raft that I was in good hands!"

We guarantee the unforgettable trip of a lifetime that you will be talking about for years to come!
