It's Not the River That Stops Them
It's the unknowns
If you've never been rafting before, it's easy to wonder if it's the right fit. Will your kids enjoy it? Do you need a big group? What should you bring? What does the day look like?
And when you're planning around a vacation, it gets even harder. You need something that fits your schedule, feels safe, and still delivers a great experience.
That uncertainty is where most rafting plans stop before they ever start.

Don't just take our word for it — here's what families and groups have to say.
"We booked the 1/2 day based off of previous reviews and it didn't disappoint. Dealing with Jared pre-trip was very good and information provided was very useful. Our guide Micah was phenomenal. Shared detail of what was happening and what was forthcoming. Would definitely recommend this trip while in Idaho."

"Outdoor Voyagers is an excellent rafting company!! Highly recommended them for whitewater rafting in Riggins, Idaho. It was our first time ever whitewater rafting and our guide was very professional and confident. We felt safe and had a wonderful time. Our family can't wait to go again."

"Just returned from an awesome weekend of rafting with Outdoor Voyagers. Delicious food, amazing rapids, and such fun guides! The guides took care of absolutely everything which made for a relaxing weekend as well. Already looking at dates to book again next summer!"
— Tanille
"I had so much fun on our trip with Outdoor Voyagers. Our guide was awesome. He made our trip amazing. Growing up in the area, he shared stories, and knew so much about different areas along the river. We did the two day trip and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We went with a group of women as a girls trip, but I am a mom and will definitely be taking my kids next year. I was nervous about the trip, but quickly realized that we were going to be taken care of by Outdoor Voyagers."
— Jessica
"Outstanding service with Outdoor Voyagers. Took a group of youth and they all had the time of their life. There were over 40 of us and Jared and his crew did a fantastic job handling all of us. Julia was a fantastic guide. Definitely be booking again."
— Joy
"We went with a group of friends and had a great overnight rafting trip with Jared and Outdoor Voyagers. They took great care of us and made it a very fun and exciting experience. The food was very good, and the campsite was beautiful! We loved finding cliffs to rock jump and having lots of fun in the river on a hot day. Would definitely do this trip again."
