The night before each trip departs, guests and guides will have a meet and greet at a designated hotel in the Lewiston, Clarkston Valley where you will receive drybags and go over the morning's itinerary. The next morning, we will shuttle you to the Pine Bar boat ramp outside of Grangeville, Idaho for the start of your float. Trips will end 61 miles downriver at Heller Bar on the Snake River. From there you will be shuttled back to the hotel where your vehicle will be parked. These guided whitewater floats are typically done in 4 days, but 5 day options are also available. Or if you would like to prolonge your retreat from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, we can slow it down and spend 6 days on the river.
Guided whitewater raft trips are all inclusive. Guests will be provided with top of the line camp gear including a heavy duty sleeping pad, a warm sleeping bag, a sturdy cot, a spacious tent, and a comfy camp chair. Delicious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners will be prepared riverside by our guides using fresh locally sourced ingredients.
