We have taken a river trip with Barker-Ewing 4 years in a row now. We have had a blast every time! The first time, I was petrified while I was still on shore getting instructions... I had my husband, then my (adult) children all check my life jacket to make sure it was tight enough not to come off! As... More

We were a family of four, kids 7 and 12 and went on the white-water rafting with Barker Ewing on 22nd August. I had booked the trip on line from UK without any problem and all my e-mails were answered promptly and efficiently. We were staying at Jackson lake Lodge and it took me about 50 minutes to reach their... More

There's not much to add to the glowing remarks, they're true. Tristin is a great guide, fun but very in-tune to the safety of his "crew". I am not a swimmer, but sat in the middle and had a good time. We went ion afternoon trip n July. Although it was nice warm weather, we rented we suits and was... More

We loved everything about Barker-Ewing. We took the float/breakfast/white water rafting trip and would really recommend it! During the float portion we got a chance to spot wildlife, including many American Bald Eagles. The breakfast was delicious and a great segway to white water rafting. It was fun, wet, and exhilerating. Being with my daughter I researched their inmpeccable safety... More

My husband and I did the overnight rafting trip late in July. It was my first rafting experience but it won't be my last, although it will be hard to top the one we took with Barker-Ewing. Without a doubt, the most fun I've had in a long time. The float was relaxing, the food for dinner and breakfast was... More

Thanks for your kudos, Sally K! It was Tristan's 4th season with us, and hopefully he'll be back for a 5th! You had the experience we hope for everyone! I hope you'll come back again and again. Thank you for sharing, Sally. Heather More

We had the most wonderful trip on the river! It was a beautiful, sunny day in July, and it was just about perfect from start to finish. Our guide, Andrew, was terrific - knowledgeable, skilled, and friendly. He really was great at spotting eagles and talking about the areas we passed through. Lunch was delicious, and the spot was lovely.... More

Hi Carrie S! Andrew's guided for us for 4 years, and I hope he returns again this summer. Thanks for the great feedback! We are so lucky to partner with the Snake River Ranch and have our very own private riverside camp to serve lunch and dinner. We strive to go above and beyond, and little touches like the sanitation... More

Well-organized. We were bused to the loading dock and had extremely knowledgeable and fun guides who provided us with a lot of fun facts about the river, the wildlife, the sights and people we came across along the way, and it was obvious our safety was a priority with them the entire time. We took the 75-minute ride, and everyone... More

We took a trip out West, starting in Jackson Hole and working our way up through Yellowstone and Glacier to do some hiking. I wanted to have a fun adventure for our first day. This was the only full day we stayed in Jackson Hole We arrived late the day before our raft trip only to find a note at... More

KayakCrazy- Please know that we never want to cancel a reservation for anyone but, unfortunately, we do have guidelines regarding safety in numbers and the need for a minimum number of paddlers on our whitewater trips. In early and late season, bookings tend to be slower and our reservation staff go to great lengths to try and book new reservations... More

Well organized. We had a terrific day. There were enough rapids to make it fun, but still good if you are a beginner. Our guide was skilled, knowedgeable, and personable. We were a little reluctant to rent wet suits as you never know if they have been properly sanitized. I was happy to see a large washing machine running filled... More

We chose the 4 hour trip starting at 12:30 so it would be warm and sunny. Well organized, the guide was fun and interesting. Only on the water about 2 1/2 hours which was plenty since it was August and the river wasn't running fast. All in all, a fun afternoon.
