This protected section of the Snake River flows swiftly in places and otherwise meanders peacefully through many side channels, affording our guests an unique river experience. Our guides provide interpretation of the natural history of the park and its wildlife with a depth of experience to make every trip special. « less

During our 2011 excursion to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, we spent the bulk of our time in Yellowstone, so we wanted to get as good of an overview of Grand Teton in the limited time available. A float trip on the Snake River seemed like a great way to see part of the park and also an excellent... More

We went with Barker-Ewing on their last day of operations for the 2011 season Friday Sept 23rd. We took the 2 pm float. Our boat guide was Michael. I've got to say it was a top class operation from the time of reservation till we had our feet back on dry ground. Everyone was super pleasant and professional. On the... More

Jackson Hole is such a beautiful place to vacation. While you are there, the Snake River float trips are a "must do". We have been to Jackson Hole several times and taken a float trip each time. Barker Ewing is the best are far as we are concerned. I particularly like their trip on the Teton Park part of the... More

We took the evening float trip in early June. From the assembly point minibuses took us to the launch point and we were split into three groups, up to 10 people per raft. It was COLD, five layers of clothes, scarves gloves and woolly hats and we were not hot ! Some of the other were ill clad just in... More

Grant was our guide for the float trip. It is obvious by his knowledge that he loves the Grand Tetons. This tour operates INSIDE the National Park, not outside as others. You get the majestic Tetons, the solitude and quiet of floating. We learned so much from Grant. It made us appreciate the National Park even more. Will definitely use... More

If you plan on visiting Grand Teton and rafting on the Snake River - don't miss a river trip with Barker-Ewing. Researched many companies offering this kind of adventure and we definitely picked the best one. Their trips are within the national park (unlike some companies that operate outside the park); rates are very fairly priced; our guide (Grant) was... More

We loved every minute of this float trip. The scenery was spectacular. We just happened to be there around the time of year when the animals were very scarce, but our guide, Grant, made up for the lack of animals. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the river. I learned so much from him and was thoroughly entertained.... More

We took a float trip in early September and had Reed as our guide. My husband has a broken foot so we used a lot of plastic garbage bags and duck tape to protect it! Our guide, Reed, did a great job! He was very knowledgeable and patient and made the experience great for us and the rest of the... More

Great time on float trip. You must go on first or last trip of the day to see all animals. Our guide knew the river and about all animals that we saw. This is only float trip that actually goes through Teton National Park ( What a treat ). More
