    As part of a group travel adventure, we booked a Snake River Scenic River float trip with this company . We were picked up at our hotel by our bus driver George. Great guy, personable , informative and funny. He dropped us at the launch location and the lead River guide , Delaney, provided safety and instructional information for our trip. Delaney was our raft driver. She was amazing. The ultimate professional and so personable and friendly. She provided us with a wealth of information about the Snake River and the areas we traversed on our journey. The trip lasted just under 3 hours . We were , along with the 6 others in our raft, totally satisfied with this adventure. A smooth ride with just a bit of churning waters to add to the excitement. I highly recommend this business if you are in the Jackson Hole area. It's an experience you won't soon forget.

    Stop your search. This is the one. With this review being for my first whitewater experience, I had no idea what to expect. The staff, bus driver, and everyone were exceptional. Our guide, Bryce, was so amazing my best friend said she's naming her next child after him. We did the 8-man raft 2-hour experience and I would do it a million times over. Dave Hansen Whitewater was knowledgeable, safe, and incredibly fun!

    We had Callie as our guide today and she was amazing. She is a wealth of knowledge. We saw so many eagles today. We also saw magpies, osprey, mergansers, shore bird. 2 & 1/2 hours of relaxation and so much beauty from the river to the Tetons. Highly recommend the 13 mile float trip.

    Some professional photos from our trip. This was the craziest rapid, all good and safe at all times but still tons of fun!

    10/10 - the platonic ideal of a rafting trip for my kids and I. Staff is super friendly but laid back and very helpful. Our trip was a 25 minute drive from town. You meet at their location in town, get geared up, and head out on their bus to the rafting point. The scenery was stunning, felt safe the whole time while also having some excitement. I cannot recommend this enough. Shout out to Callie our rafting guide!

    Great activity! This was fun and relaxing and a huge chunk of that goes to our amazing guide Egen, he was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about the river and even offered some awesome eateries around Jackson (we went to one for a late lunch after our excursion and it was delicious). The views are amazing and we saw 15 bald eagles, several osprey and some marmots. In the calmer sections the kids even got to "row" for a little bit (with Egen's help of course) and they loved it! This is great for kids and even the elderly population, my 75 year old mother did great and had a smile on her face the whole time! Definitely a family-friendly experience!

    This was such a fun way to end my trip to Wyoming. I was staying in Jackson Hole and booked a scenic trip down the Snake River. Dave Hansen Whitewater Trips has been voted as one of the best activities to do in Jackson Hole. This company is one of the oldest river rafting companies in the area (since 1967) and is located in Town Square. They do both whitewater rafting and scenic float trips down the Snake River. Dave Hansen employs fun and knowledgeable river guides who really know how to make your trip down the river a fun day. I had Keren as my guide. She was awesome and shared with us a lot of info about the area. The Snake River is 1,078 miles long and flows all the way into Washington. We saw all types of birds and critters on our trip down including some marmots, an osprey and a bunch of bald eagles. The Snake River and Teton mountains are your backdrop and make for some beautiful views. I had such a nice and relaxing day and was able to take lots of pictures. Dave Hansen Whitewater Trips caters to almost almost all ages and is fun for the whole family. I highly recommend booking a trip if you are in the Jackson Hole area.

    Fantastic trip today! The customer service was awesome the minute we walked in the door. The driver of our bus, Rebecca, immediately started chatting with us. She had such a fun personality! We took the scenic tour and it was just a short ride down to the ramp. Peter was our guide and was very professional. He knew a lot about the animals and land. His excitement for spotting eagles was contagious. Such a fun trip today! Thanks for making our experience so wonderful!

    Our cranky teens declared whitewater rafting with Vlad the best part of our trip! We would do it again, and the wetsuit I rented from them was both clutch and cheap!

    We've done dozens of white water raft trips and this was the best we've ever done! The guide was so knowledgeable and fun. The rapids are fun and there are lots of them! Thank you Vlad and crew!

    My husband and I loved the trip. They had to modify it from the 13 mile trip to the 8 mile trip due to the water levels, but it was an amazing experience. The guides are amazing. Would recommend this for everyone. The boat in front of us had children under the age of 10, and we had guests in our boat in their 80's.

    Delaney was an amazing guide!!

    1000% recommend this business!! Our guide, Delaney was wonderful. Our boat happened to be her first flip ever. She and the other boats around us sprang into action to make sure that we were safe and got everyone out of the water so quick. There are obvious dangers doing an activity like this but to have such knowledgeable people is wonderful. Not only did they check on us numerous times after getting back in the boat,when we got to shore, when we got back to the store, they even called to check on our family the following day! Definitely a first class business! We would ride with them any day!

He was informative and the boat held some great discussions throughout the trip, which makes it more enjoyable. I was imagining more rapids, but there was a lot more slow parts of the river. The big Kahuna was the one rapid that managed to get everyone except our guide wet. They were taking pictures there which you can purchase online or go to their shop and buy them for 20% off. We even thread the needle towards the end between a couple large rocks. It's worth doing a small 8 person boat. I'd even go in May or June to get more rapids because going at the beginning of August the water flow slows way down losing some of the rapids. They do offer water jackets you can put on under the life vest when you get there. The water was cool but not cold enough to need a wetsuit in August unless you can't handle cool temps. They do offer all that when you Check-in to rent too. If you have young kid, 4th grade or older they let them sit at the head of the boat. They have to be strong enough to hold on going over the rapids.

    BEST TOUR EVER!…read more First, we are not "tour" people. We like to travel on our own and rarely find a tour company that does what they say they will do. That said, we loved our tour with Teton Floats! We took the two day Yellowstone tour out of Jackson Wy. The company was fabulous to work with. Kilmeny Hall, one of the company owners and tour coordinator, handled everything from our reservations to lunch orders. She is a true professional gem and is so accommodating. She answered all of our questions, and made the whole booking process so easy. Our tour guide, John Putrino, was absolutely the best tour guide we have ever had anywhere! He is organized and efficient in everything we did for two days. He knows all there is to know about Yellowstone and surrounding areas. He has a great spotting scope which allowed us to see even those far away animals in the park. We were able to see many bison, bears, and even a wolf pack (eating a baby bison). We also saw elk, prong horns, and a moose! We were also able to see many birds, including Trumpeter Swans, Sandhill Cranes, various hawks, and ravens. John knows all the best places to look for and see animals, as well as terrific spots to have lunch. Lunch was provided both days and the sandwiches were delish (along with the chips, cookies and fruit). The tour includes waters, binoculars, and granola bars. The van is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. We had bathroom breaks and rest stops whenever needed. The two day tour was amazing. Day one we saw all the geothermal features, including Old Faithful, and the Grand Prismatic Spring. John told us where to stand for the best views and led us around all the features with lots of interesting information. We spent the night in Pray Montana at the Chico Hot Springs Resort, which we would highly recommend. Great cabins and a nice restaurant with a more casual Saloon if you don't want a huge meal. Day two was focused on wildlife and waterfalls. We went to the Lamar Valley and other areas including Yellowstone Lake and the upper and lower Falls. We cannot say enough great things about Teton Floats two day Yellowstone Tour. John is the best and is so knowledgeable and thoughtful. A joy to spend two days with! We are definitely going to return and take this tour again! Don't miss it.

    Three negatives within the first 30 minutes of the trip. Will update if there's positive changes,…read moreif this review is not updated, the experience did not get better. For $600-850 a snow mobile, this outfit is greatly missing customer etiquette. We were told to be ready at 6am sharp. We wanted to confirm which side of the hotel pickup was, however neither the 1800 or 307 numbers work. We called repeatedly, text the 307 number, and had no idea if we'd been scammed until the coach showed up at 6:28. Showing up late with no working phone number was shocking for an outfit that demands logistics and communication at 6am. Once the coach showed up, I asked Jeff (guide) if there's any coffee since it's a 1+ hour ride to Yellowstone and coffee shops were not open. Scenic Safari's response? "You can die for an hour in the back." A bit rude, I ignored it. For comparison, the hotel shuttle that runs FOR FREEE has coffee and hot chocolate prepped in the van. No coffee on a $600-800 per person is one thing, but "You can die for an hour in the back," has ZERO customer etiquette. We get in the coach and the man has the lights on full blast over our heads. When asked to dim them since it's pitch black outside and the contrast painful to anyone with migraines, Jeff makes the remark "lights are going off because there's someone sensitive in the back." Zero basic customer etiquette. Just turn the light off. Everyone heard the request. Three strikes before the fist 30 minutes of the trip with 8 hours to go.
