Payette River company made this experience so special. We had two couples in our group, all of us over 60 yrs, and we will be talking of this experience for many years to come. The owners and guides are very friendly and helpful. It is very obvious that they enjoy what they do. We had a BLAST! The only hard part for us was carrying the boat around the class 6 rapid. The provided lunch was very good and even the bus ride was fun with oldies rock playing loudly and everyone singing along. I can’t recommend it more highly.

We did the Canyons section of the river. Not only is this an amazing stretch of river, this company is fantastic!! We have done trips with other outfitting companies before, and this one was the best we gone with. The guides were fantastic! We stopped at hot springs, had homemade cookies with lunch, stopped for jumping from a rock and had a fun slide show of the day at the end. The pictures were great and priced such that we were able to purchase them. We will be doing this trip again!!

We had the best time! A couple of my older kids had never been on a white water trip and they have already started talking about doing it again next year. Payette has a family feel to their operation and took good care of everyone. Get the picture package for sure!

Sean and Ginger are wonderful people they make you feel like a part of their family. They employ only the best and kindest guides. Tyson is the best guide I have ever encountered. I highly recommend Payette River Company for any rafting experience you may have.

Ginger and Sean run a 5 star outdoor adventure enterprise. Our guide, Caleb, provided an exhilarating experience, yet always safe and peppered with great knowledge of the river and wild life. Every aspect, from meals, accommodations and service were first class, and a true family atmosphere with all the guides and owners. We were a group of eighteen and are already planning our trip for next year!

I kept trying to come up with something to write, but ultimately it just comes down to perfect. Craig (our guide) and Shawn were amazing, knowledgeable, hilarious, and so accommodating. They made sure we were safe and then did everything in their power to give us an epic day and boy did they succeed. They gave these 5 friends from high school the memory of a lifetime and stories to tell for years to come. We can't say thank you enough. Already looking forward to the next time.

Sean and Ginger are great! Sean is very knowledgeable about his craft and Ginger is a delight to talk to. Everyone worked very hard to make it a very memorable trip. Huston was our trip guide and he knew all the tricks to get maximum fun out of the rapids. Everyone went above and beyond with providing a delicious homemade lunch for the trip. We'll definitely be returning for another round soon!

This was my 4th trip with Payette, and it did not disappoint! Sean and Ginger, the owners, were very accommodating with our last minute request to get on the river this summer, as we were meeting up with a friend that we had met on a previous Payette River Company trip. The guides are skilled and knowledgeable, keeping every safe but making it fun of course as well. We will be back next summer for an overnight!

We had an amazing experience cruising through the rapids with the Payette River Company. The owners Sean and Ginger made us feel totally comfortable and cared for throughout the entire day, from the moment we showed up to the bus ride back. Can't recommend this river or this company enough to people seeking a little adventure only a couple of hours from Boise.

Sean and Ginger run a TOP KNOTCH rafting business! They are the best on the mountain. I’ve rafted with them 4 times and this last time Sean was called to rescue stranded rafters from another company.

Hi, I apologize for the delay! Pictures for the half day are $30.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Enjoy the rest of the summer,
