"We went with a large group, and everyone enjoyed themselves. Our guide, Gabe was extremely knowledgeable and super fun. The Adventure Idaho crew made a memorable experience for us. Can’t wait to go back again!"
Annie Phillips
Adventure Idaho is the most amazing rafting company! The guides are so personable, professional, and friendly. We took a group of youth on a rafting trip for camp, and we loved how wholesome and clean the guides were. They learned all our names, cooked great food, and even hung out with us at camp playing guitar and telling stories. It truly was the best few days! Thank you for the unforgettable experience, Adventure Idaho!
