Guest Responsibilities

 

At Adventure Idaho, safety is a shared responsibility.

We ask every guest to uphold the following expectations to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and respectful experience for everyone on the river.

 

Before Your Trip

 

  • Review our Eligibility Criteria and Planning & FAQ pages carefully.

  • Read all pre-trip materials and arrival instructions. Please arrive on time and ready to go—late arrivals may forfeit participation.

  • Understand that rafting involves inherent risks, including variable weather, water levels, and wilderness environments.

  • Review and sign our Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver prior to participation.

  • Pack responsibly using our Packing Lists to ensure you’re dressed and equipped for your trip. Adventure Idaho is not responsible for lost, damaged, or broken personal items.

 

On the River

 

  • Life Jackets: A properly fitted Type V Coast Guard–approved PFD (life jacket) must be worn at all times on the water - no exceptions.

  • Helmets: Required on certain river sections, during high-water conditions and as requested by guides.

  • Follow all safety briefings and guide instructions - both verbal and non-verbal - at all times.

  • Wear clothing and footwear suitable for changing river and weather conditions.

  • Inform your guide of any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary needs before launch so we can best accommodate you.

  • Practice Leave No Trace principles: pack out all trash, respect wildlife, and preserve beaches for future guests.

  • Treat all individuals - fellow guests, guides, other boaters, and rangers - with courtesy and respect. Harassment or unsafe behavior is not tolerated.

 

Drugs, Alcohol & Conduct

 

  • Illegal drugs, including marijuana, are strictly prohibited on all Adventure Idaho trips, vehicles, and properties.

  • Open alcohol containers are not allowed in company vehicles under Idaho law.

  • Alcohol is not permitted on the river. Guests may enjoy drinks responsibly at camp during multi-day trips or after rafting on day trips.

  • Guests under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be allowed to participate.

  • Adventure Idaho reserves the right to refuse service to anyone whose behavior compromises safety or professionalism. This includes forfeiting all trip deposits and payments—no refunds or credits will be issued in such cases.

​

Families & Youth Groups

 

We love seeing youth and families on the river!

Our guides lead games, hikes, and activities - but parents, leaders, and chaperones are responsible for the supervision and conduct of their youth participants at all times.

 

Shared Values

 

By joining an Adventure Idaho trip, you agree to uphold our shared values of:

 

  • Safety - putting people and preparedness first.

  • Respect - for the river, for others, and for yourself.

  • Stewardship - leaving Idaho’s rivers wild, clean, and thriving for future generations.

 

Together, we create an environment where professionalism, fun, and adventure can thrive.
