Transportation Options for Your Idaho Rafting Trip

Adventure Idaho offers several transportation options to help guests reach their river adventure in Riggins and Central Idaho. Whether you are flying in, driving yourself, or coordinating a group, we can help arrange transportation where available.

Van and Bus Pickups

For trips launching near Riggins and the Salmon River, we can arrange van or bus transportation for groups from the following locations:

 

  • Boise, Idaho

  • McCall, Idaho

  • Lewiston, Idaho

  • And more!

 

Vans and buses are arranged through professional transportation providers and sized based on your group. Additional charges apply.

 

This option is commonly used for multi-day trips, private charters, VIP trips, and group bookings.

 

Boise Airport (BOI) Pickup

Guests flying into Boise Airport may be picked up by van or bus and transported directly to Riggins.

 

  • Vehicle type depends on group size

  • Transportation is arranged by Adventure Idaho

  • Additional charges apply

 

This is the most seamless option for out-of-state guests rafting on the Salmon River.

 

Backcountry Flights with Gem Air

For faster access or a premium travel option, backcountry flights are available through Gem Air.

 

Gem Air offers charter flights:

 

  • From Boise to Salmon, Idaho

  • From Boise to McCall, Idaho

 

These flights significantly reduce travel time and are often used for VIP and custom trips. From Salmon or McCall, ground transportation to the river can be arranged.

 

Flights are booked separately and subject to aircraft availability and weather.

 

Transportation for Twin Falls Trips

Adventure Idaho does not offer airport pickup or shuttle transportation for Twin Falls-based trips.

 

Guests rafting near Twin Falls are required to provide their own transportation to the designated meeting location. Directions and parking details are provided in advance.

 

Driving Yourself to Riggins

Guests are welcome to drive themselves.

 

  • Riggins is accessible via paved highways

  • Parking is available during your trip

  • Vehicle staging and river shuttles can be coordinated for multi-day trips

 

Driving is often the simplest option for guests already traveling within Idaho.

 

Recommended Shuttle and Car Services

If you have questions about transportation for your specific trip or launch location, our team is happy to clarify what options are available.

If renting a car in Boise, use Hertz Rentals. They have a third party driver agreement for shuttle drivers.
