My white water rafting trip with Sawtooth Adventure Company was an absolute triumph, largely due to our phenomenal guide, Hans, whose unparalleled expertise and radiant passion elevated the experience to extraordinary heights. Hans’s remarkable ability to foster a safe and nurturing environment allowed us to fully embrace the exhilarating rapids with confidence and joy. His eagle-eyed vigilance gifted us with breathtaking wildlife sightings, including a regal bald eagle and a graceful osprey, moments that felt like pure magic. With an encyclopedic knowledge of the area, Hans wove captivating stories and delightful tidbits about the region’s history and ecology, making every paddle stroke a journey through time. His infectious enthusiasm and genuine care for each of us transformed the trip into a soul-stirring adventure that will live in my heart forever. Sawtooth Adventure Company’s flawless organization and top-tier equipment were the perfect backdrop to Hans’s masterful guidance. I can’t sing Hans’s praises loudly enough—he’s a true legend, and this company is a gem for delivering such an awe-inspiring experience! As a reminder! Your guide may tip you over, but you can't overtip your guide!

We had an incredible time doing two different day trips with Sawtooth Adventure Company! The guides were so fun, they were well prepared, the stretches of river were perfect for the different group trips we did.

We had a great day rafting with Sawtooth Adventure Company! Our guide, McCoy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel really safe! It was a blast to raft, hike, jump off a rock, and have a delicious lunch with this outfitter! We would definitely take another trip with them in the future! Thanks!

This is a great outfit. Very fun but professional staff. We had a great run in the river. McCoy was a fantastic guide with tons of knowledge of the river, history, and fishing. We hit some great rapids and got wet. Highly recommend!

I was at the IMPA conference in Sun Valley and chose whitewater rafting as my event. Such a great experience and the Pierce the guide was an expert and super funny. I'm still laughing about the deer cable car story! I look forward to choosing this event next year as well!
