Their operation was smooth, they were ready to start early, they had great attention to details and our experience. The price was more than reasonable for this fun time. It is early in the season and the water is high. We experienced three 4s and several 3s. This was our first white water rafting trip and I wasn't sure what to expect. Stephen took care of us, knew the history of the area, and talked a lot. If I visit again, I'd use SRC again.

We had a really great time with Salmon River Tours yesterday! We did a group outing by taking…read morethere all day Jet Boat Tour trip up the Salmon river. We put it at Vinegar Creek boat ramp, outside of Riggins, and jetted up to China Bar Lodge where we ate lunch. They supplied us with home made sandwiches and delicious home made cookies, and we sat in the lodge and enjoyed the beautiful view of the river. The trip itself was fun. We got to see a lot of Idaho landscape that you will never see from any road, and were lucky enough to see some wildlife along the way. Bald Eagles, deer, mountain goats and sheep. It was awesome. Jeff, our boat pilot and one of the owners of the company, was super nice and he stopped the boat several times to tell us about the history and events that took place along the river. Also important to note was Brenda, who I spoke to several times during the reservation process. We had to change and update our reservation several times, as family availability for the trip changed, and as we had to make adjustments on who would be coming. Through all of this, Brenda was super helpful and took care of everything perfectly. All-in-all, this was a great experience, and would highly recommend Salmon River Tours for your wilderness river vacation experience.

In February my brother in law and I were watching DIY (Building off the grid, the river of no…read morereturn) about a fishing tour business that were rebuilding a cabin off the grid on the Salmon River. We texted back and forth for about an hour and soon decided to book a trip. Family and new friends from Alabama, Arizona, North Carolina and Idaho decided to make the trip. Well the long and short of it is we had a fabulous time with an amazing outfitter. I can't speak highly enough about SRT and the way they made the trip a total success! After watching the episode we felt like we knew Jess and Brenda but we had no idea how much fun it would be. Jess went way out of his way to see we had the best possible time and made the trip a total success. Rocky was a great tour guide and went way out of his way to take care of anything we needed. The food was was far more and way better than anything we expected. Dinner was prime rib and shrimp and breakfast was just as good, gourmet all the way. The jet boat trip is a can't miss. Jess gave us a fantastic tour and really highlighted the beautiful canyon they call home. I've been boating for most of my life but Jess can maneuver this boat like nothing I've ever seen! It may be their business but we think it was much more than that. The worst thing I can say is that we didn't book a couple more days to really appreciate the canyon. The best thing I can say about it is we're all planning to be repeat offenders to this hidden jewel, some as soon as within 2 months. This time we're going to spend the time fishing with people at SRT who truly know the river and canyon. We did a lot of research. There's a lot of outfitters out there. If you'd rather travel with people who truly love what they do this is the group for you. Watch the episode, book the trip. You won't regret it.

They were able to squeeze us in last min for a half day white water rafting trip. Everyone who works there was super friendly and went out of their way to introduce themselves to us. After a short ride on the "cool bus" and and a little safety talk, we were on our way. Our guide Chris was super cool and knowledgeable about the area. In between rapids and one liner dad jokes he told us about the different cliffs and other stuff on the river. Overall it was an amazing day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend this place for all your salmon river needs!!

We've done two half-day trips with H2O over the past two summers -- the first in June of 2018 and…read morethe second just yesterday. Found the company through Groupon, and had a great time the first time so we came back with a group of five adults and five kids. Catfish was the guide both years for the "grown up's" raft, and Taylor was the guide for the kids. Our guides were great -- Catfish took us through the most exciting parts of the rapids, and was very knowledgeable about the river. Taylor was careful with the kids (didn't take them through the most hairy water) and was very nice, letting the kids take turns controlling the raft during calm spots. The water was a lot better in July than in June, and the half day trip took a little less than three hours. The rapids were fantastic -- some of the best we've encountered in Idaho. The guides had dry bags for our phones and keys, and coolers with drinks. We'll use H20 again and will try to book a whole-day trip next time. A great experience with great guides.

My expectations for the weekend were blown out of the water (literally) in the first ten minutes on the jet boat ride. I don't think we stopped smiling for 3 days. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for a wedding if rivers and mountains hold a piece of your heart. The staff was incredibly fun and accommodating. Dax is the cutest 6 year old host you'll ever meet and I felt almost no stress before the wedding because I knew Joni had everything under control. If you want a wild jet boat ride, jump on Bucks boat ;) Mackay Bar is truly a hidden gem in Idaho. All of my friends and family are texting me that we forever ruined their expectation of a wedding. Sunset horseback rides, fishing, hiking and phenomenal food. I am forever grateful for our wedding weekend and Mackay Bar and we are plotting to get back there as soon as possible.

Captain Eric had years of experience driving that boat so we felt very safe. We saw deer, big horn sheep, eagles and a sturgeon.
