Whitewater rafting on the Snake River in small boats — Adventure things to do in Jackson

Three hours on the Snake River in small rafts — expect bigger whitewater and a wet ride with only eight passengers per boat.

This three-hour rafting experience on the Snake River features small boats designed for a more thrilling ride. With a maximum of eight passengers per raft, this trip ensures you will be in the thick of the action—and likely getting wet. Each raft has six paddling positions and two non-paddling seats, so everyone has a chance to get involved.

As you paddle through the river’s rapids, be prepared for a fun and exhilarating experience that could vary greatly from one trip to the next depending on river conditions. Make sure to dress appropriately for a wet adventure, and don’t forget your sense of adventure.
