Expect views of the Tetons, Gros Ventre, and Snake River Mountain Ranges. You will see a number of bald eagles, osprey, herons, and mergansers on sections of the river. The river ecosystem is also home to elk, mule deer, and moose. We have seen grizzly bears on the float in past years, but this is a unique experience. Our guides are happy to share information and fun facts about the area and spot wildlife.

Dress the same as you would for any outdoor activity. The mornings are generally cool, although it warms up rapidly as the sun rises in the sky. It’s better to be overdressed in the morning, as you can shed layers as the day goes on. We provide rain parkas, in case we encounter a shower on the river, as well as waterproof blankets.

Our recommended items include:

• Sunglasses
• Appropriate clothing for the forecasted weather. Morning and evening are generally cooler, while midday heats up quickly.
• Bring extra jackets that you can shed as the day goes on. Light and airy clothing is great for the summer months. In the spring and fall, non-cotton clothing like fleece or wool is best.
• Sunscreen, hats, and comfortable shoes.
• Lunch, if you would like.
• Cameras and phones are allowed, but their use is at the discretion of the guest.

Please call us if you have any questions.

Guests sitting in the front row and potentially on the side rows will get a splash of water. When we load the boat, we do the best we can to accommodate requests. Depending on the group sizes, it may occur that not everyone gets the exact seat they would like, although we do try our very best!

All trips still meet as scheduled. We will make a decision regarding the weather at the boat ramp. We provide waterproof blankets and ponchos. If the trip is canceled due to weather, we will try and rebook for a different time or date. If that is not possible, the trip will be refunded.

We provide ice water and sparkling water. Guests are welcome to bring a small snack with them. Alcohol is not permitted on our trips.

Generally, the trips take three hours from the meeting time to the drop-off. At lower water levels, which can occur in late summer, the trip may take another half hour.

We ask that you meet us at the Stilson Parking lot: 1415 Beckley Park Way, Wilson, WY 83014. For afternoon trips, please plan for traffic, as that is the commuter hour.

The minimum age is 4 years old. Depending on the water level, this age minimum may be raised.

The custom seats in our boat help provide back support for Seniors. The section of river we float is class 1-2 which does not contain big whitewater rapids. Heat, elevation, and allergies/medical conditions are some of the biggest concerns. It is important to drink plenty of water throughout the float. Choosing a morning or evening trip may help avoid the heat of the day. Please let us know of any allergies or medical conditions prior to getting in the boat.

There are restrooms at the put-in and take-out access points. You are given ample time to use these facilities at the beginning and end of the trip.
