Oldest, most trusted float company in Jackson Hole. Started with Dick Barker and Frank Ewing.

They swore to have the best float and the safest float at ANY time of year and that's what they did! They have always been the best.

Date of experience: October 2019

Gentle float was highlight of our trip!

Do this for sure! With this company, you can choose to raft on whitewater or calmer water. We chose the gentler one. It is worth the money to see the scenery and eagles. Our guide/rower was fantastic. She gave lots of info and respectful answers...More

Vacation

Took the calmer raft ride down the Snake River. Guide was awesome and very friendly. The views are magnificent. Bald Eagles in their habitat. I’d do it again despite getting rained on.

If you're both in good shape, do the 8 mile whitewater small boat paddle with Barker Ewing. Also, see if you can request Will as your guide. He will make it a truly memorable trip.
