We really liked the first light float. We had a great trip with a really nice driver and a great guide. Our guide seemed just as excited as we were to be there and he enjoyed the wildlife, scenery and perfect weather as much as we did. We got lucky and had a real close up encouner with a very... More

Overall had a wonderful day! Our guide (forgot name...sorry) was a kind southern young gentleman who really made the trip enjoyable. His control of the raft and knowledge of the area was impressive. The bus driver with family in Iowa was delightful. The weather and the picnic lunch was perfect! Very nice picnic area. They also provided water and lemonade... More

Paula, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. From the description of your guide I believe that Dean (from North Carolina) was your host for the trip! He is a truly happy guide and his enthusiasm for the Snake River and Jackson Hole are exuberant, fun and informative! Our lunch float is one... More

I went on two scenic float trips with Barker-Ewing this summer. We had a wonderful and knowledgable guide that knew about the area and wildlife. The second trip I went on was with my 82 year old mother and they made everything easy and fun for her. I had previously been on a whitewater trip with this company that was... More

I hadn't done anything like this before and I was extremely nervous. However, our guide was excellent and put us all at ease without losing the thrill and danger. This was probably the most exciting thing I've done in my life so far and has left me craving for more ... skydiving here I come! More

The advice on TA forums to use Barker-Ewing proved to be excellent advice. My husand and I booked a float trip for 8 a.m. on the Snake River. Six of us on the raft and Jeremiah as the guide. Jeremiah was very knowledgeable about traversing waterways, as well as the wildlife along the way. I would highly recommend Barker-Ewing's early... More

There was a bit of a mix up when I booked this trip online. I later found out that there are 2 Barker-Ewing's. One in Jackson,and 1 in Moose. I ended up somehow booking both trips at the same time. I was a little frustrated when I found this out after the fact, but we ended up going on both... More

Hello TrailDust, How great l that the moose decided to have breakfast during your First Light Float! Andrew is a long-time "Hole" resident and one of our favorite and most requested scenic guides. I will pass your praise on to him. The confusion is understandable!. We are Barker-Ewing Whitewater, specializing in Whitewater Rafting in the Grand Canyon of the Snake... More

My family and I booked a trip with Barker-Ewing Whitewater on the Snake River. We opted for the 8-man raft which was a good size to experience the rapids. This was the first time my 12 year-old son and I whitewater rafted and I felt completely at ease with the guide. His command of the raft was evident and his... More
