About This Trip

A dory full of people watches from below a rapid as an oar raft makes its way through the stretch of whitewater.
Rafting on the Main Salmon River in Idaho

Spend your days on the Main Salmon running exciting whitewater and hiking to breathtaking locations you only get to experience from the river, as your guides provide you with a deep well of knowledge about the history, geology, and archeological importance of your surroundings. You may even get the chance to soak in a hot spring. When you stop for a delicious picnic lunch, perhaps you’ll join in on a river game or simply soak up the sun on the sandy beach. As you make your way downriver, the time spent on the Salmon is sure to leave you in awe. And hungry. But don’t worry, for your inner foodie the best is yet to come….

After pulling into camp for the day, everyone will unload the rafts, and you can find the perfect spot to set up your tent for the night. Get cozy, and then make your way over to start sampling delicious wines, perfectly paired with delectable hors d’oeuvres. You can join the chair circle to continue getting to know your newfound friends, or you might decide to break out your gear and fish for trout. Soon, your personal chef will have a meal prepared guaranteed to knock your Chacos off.

Be ready to be wowed by gourmet brilliance as your chef serves up dishes made with fresh, local ingredients that put a spotlight on the best Idaho has to offer. You’ll sit at linen-draped, candlelit tables with your fellow rafters and break bread. The conversation will be flowing, as will the wine, and an abundance of laughter will fill the air. As you head to bed with a satisfied stomach and happy heart, you’ll ponder the memories made that day as the mellifluous river lulls you to sleep.
