Everyone who helped was very friendly and knowledgeable giving us the information needed to make the right decision. Prices were very reasonable too.

Jake was especially helpful showing me how to properly tie it down. Kudos to the entire Idaho River Sports team!

We also had two safety in kayaks with us the whole trip. Everything was super professional and we got suited up in wet suits and splash guard. The facility was beautiful and everyone was super friendly and fun.

At the end of the float, Boise River Raft and Tube has a designated rented raft and equipment pick up spot, for easy dropping off of your equipment. It is nice not having to lug around the gear after soaking in the sun for a few hours. They also have a bus shuttle service which takes you back to the top after floating down to the bottom. Service is always great. The workers are friendly and have good knowledge on how to have a safe and fun floating experience. Pro Tip: For those not wanting to ride the bus back to the top and going in a group. Consider parking a vehicle at the bottom, piling into another vehicle, and then driving to the top. After you float down with your group, hop in the car at the bottom and pick up the vehicle at the top. Though the bus ride back to the top isn't anything to be feared and is a great option.

Waited in line there 20 minutes for the bus. Waited 15 minutes to sign waiver and paid $18 each for 3 single tubes. We literally jumped in the river with the tubes and loved our lovely 2.5 hour float down the river. We wished we had an oar as we kept drifting toward the banks and ran into tree branches which was a bummer. The water was 55 degrees and very refreshing. Loved the expression. At the end the well marked pull out you walk your tubes to the road and collect your receipt. Thank you for making this such a fun experience!

We've done many rafting trips over the years but this was the first time we've gotten suited up in a farmer john suit, water booties, and long sleeve waterproof shirt to combat the cold water. We have been in snow melt runs before so this was interesting but oh so great to be comfortable on the river. I was never cold and interestingly never too warm despite the layers. Sean follows the raft in a white water kayak to be a safety back up just in case and also snap some cool pics - also a first on a rafting trip and I thought it was awesome. Stephen did a great job navigating our raft and the collective group of us were all skilled enough to ensure we didn't tip over or fall out of the raft (except one person). We just loved it! We did the canyon stretch for 5 class 4 rapids in like 45 minutes. The trip felt like it went fast but it was so fun! Lunch was delicious, allergy sensitive which is always appreciated. It was nice to see this part of Idaho since we usually stay further south west due to where family lives when we visit. It was a treat to be on the rafting trip and catch some hot springs nearby and on the rafting trip. This river stretch includes Pine Flat hot springs but Kirkham is within a couple miles and part of a different run they offer as well. 100% recommend if you are looking for an awesome adventure with great people!

There's a nice sandy beach where you can set up your things. If you need it there are shaded and unshaded picnic tables on the pavement and bike racks to lock up your bikes nearby.

The water is pretty clear and clean and is on the cooler side. There are rentals available if you want to pick up a paddle board or bring your own.
