Terms & Conditions

​

1. Booking and Deposit

 

1.1 To reserve your trip with Adventure Idaho Rafting, a deposit of 20 % of the total trip cost is required unless otherwise specified at time of booking.

1.2 Final payment is due 7 days prior to your launch date, unless alternate arrangements are made and agreed in writing. If the remaining balance is not received by the due date, Adventure Idaho reserves the right to cancel your reservation without refund of deposit.

1.3 By providing your credit card information at booking, you authorize Adventure Idaho to automatically charge the remaining balance on the due date unless you contact us beforehand to make alternative payment arrangements.

 

2. Cancellation, Transfer & Refund Policy

 

2.1 Because our trips operate under limited federal and state permits, cancellations are strictly managed. The deposit is non-refundable, but is transferable to another available trip date within the same season if notified in writing at least 14 days prior to departure (unless otherwise specified for that trip).

2.2 If you cancel or fail to show up after final payment is due, full payment remains due and no refund will be provided.

2.3 If Adventure Idaho must cancel a trip due to low bookings, government restrictions, or force majeure (e.g., extreme weather, fire closures), we will offer either:

 

• A full refund of payments made to us, or

• A transfer to an alternate trip date or section.

  Additional guest costs (flights, lodging, etc.) are not reimbursable.

  2.4 We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance to protect against illness, delays, or other unforeseen events.

 

3. Eligibility & Waiver Requirement

 

3.1 All guests must sign our standard Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability waiver prior to participation. Non-signature means no participation.

3.2 Participants must meet age, fitness, health, and weight restrictions as outlined in our Eligibility Criteria pages. Serious medical conditions, pregnancy, or inability to follow guide instructions may result in trip withdrawal at the guide’s discretion — without refund.

3.3 Guests are responsible for reading all pre‐trip information, arriving on time, and following guide instructions. Failure to comply with safety requirements may result in removal from the trip with no refund.

 

4. Guest Conduct & Responsibility

 

4.1 Guests must act respectfully toward other participants, guides, staff, property, and the natural environment. Harassment, unsafe behavior, or refusal to follow instructions will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the trip without refund.

4.2 All river trips are subject to changing conditions. Guests must accept that river travel involves inherent risks (rapids, weather changes, wildlife, etc.). Adventure Idaho makes every effort to mitigate those risks but cannot guarantee complete safety.

4.3 Guests are responsible for bringing appropriate clothing and equipment (where applicable) and meeting physical demands of the trip. See our Planning & FAQ page for details.

​

5. Safety, Weather & Itinerary Changes

 

5.1 Adventure Idaho reserves the right to alter, postpone, or cancel any itinerary due to conditions, water flow, weather, fire danger, access issues, or other operational considerations. Guests will be notified as early as possible.

5.2 If changes are made for safety or operational reasons, your options will include: alternative trip section/date or refund of payments made to us.

5.3 Guests must familiarize themselves with the wildfire and mudslide risks in the Idaho wilderness and our policies. 

5.4 Adventure Idaho reserves the right to remove any guest whose fitness, behavior or condition jeopardizes the trip’s safety — without refund.
