Personally, I felt as if I were a Native American myself as my group and I journeyed through these serene trails with extremely well trained horses, accompanied by an even better tour guide.

Would highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through looking for something to do. I heard they do excellent hunting trips and white water rafting, too.

We found the prices to be reasonable, on site service was wonderful and personal, and the river itself a joy--scenic the entire way (we saw deer!), gently rolling waters with a few fun spots to really paddle the light rapids--def worth it for the whole family (we had from ages 7-54 along for the ride!). At the end Everett gave us a quick ride back to home base and brought us up to speed on the company history--thanks for a great time, we def will be back in two years as part of our next family reunion!

The guides were awesome: We were lead down the river by Skip, Nate, and Duncan. They were all knowledgable, enthusiastic, hard working, had a great sense of humor, and made this one of the best trips I've ever been on. Thanks guys! The food was impeccable: My trip was 4 days (3 nights). We had BBQ chicken, salmon cooked on cedar planks, and filet mignon. The food was abundant and Skip cooked all the meats to perfection. We always had fresh coffee in the mornings, homemade cookies with our lunches, and beer and wine at night. This was not the normal camping diet that I'm used to; definitely exceeded my expectations. High quality supplies: The boats were all in great condition. We took two large rafts and 5 inflatable kayaks. The tents were in great condition and the sleeping bags were clean and warm. I could honestly keep typing for days about all the wonderful aspects of this trip and the guides that we went with. I will definitely use Idaho Rafting Journeys again for future trips.
