Snake River Scenic Float with Private Option
What your day looks like
Please join us for a relaxing river float on the legendary Snake River. Our Snake River Scenic Floats will pass through some of the most beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife habitat to be found anywhere in Jackson Hole. Moose and elk are common sights on the Snake River and bald eagles are always present, not to mention many views of active eagle nests. We may also have a chance to spot river otters, the elusive beaver, and many fantastic bird species as well. With the Teton Range as a backdrop, plan on an unforgettable 2 hours on the water! Some boat preparation will ensue, as well as the donning of lifejackets, and after an initial safety talk, we will board the raft. Guests will be seated on the outside pontoons and cross tubes of the raft, with all navigation and propulsion handled by your guide, via a center-mounted oar frame. We will shove off and embark on a two-hour, thirteen-mile float down the Snake River as our friendly and professional guides share their knowledge of the history, geology, flora, and fauna of this amazing river system. We will have the breathtaking Teton Range as a backdrop for most of the float, as well as the Snake River Range, the Gros Ventre, and the Hoback Ranges as well. Keep your eyes peeled as moose sightings are common, as well as elk and deer. I always guarantee a bald eagle or two, as we have over half a dozen nesting pairs on this beautiful stretch of river, not to mention close-up views of active eagle nests as well. We will complete our adventure at Von Gontard’s landing, about 15 minutes south of Jackson. We’ll see you on the river!

What travelers are saying
My family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our float down the Snake River with Isaac, our guide, who was very knowledgeable about the river, animals, and surrounding area! He was great with the kids (ages 9, 7, and 4) and made it such an enjoyable and informative experience! Definitely recommend.
From my clients: We took a private float with three generations of our family, including young children, and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide Matilda was exceptional. She made sure the little ones were fully involved the whole time, striking exactly the right balance between education and fun for every age in our group. The scenery was stunning, the wildlife sightings were wonderful, and the knowledge she shared about the river and the surrounding area made the experience so much richer than we expected. This came in a very close second to our full day Yellowstone tour, which says everything. Highly recommend, especially for families.
