I would highly recommend whitewater rafting. This was our first go at it. The staff gave a great experience from beginning to end. I personally was a little nervous at first but once on the water our guide, Jarod, had us laughing and made sure we all worked together as a team. You meet new people and end up laughing together at the end. They also have a couple of photographs up above that snap some of the greatest shots that will have you laughing once you see them. We will most definitely be back!

It was fun. Eagen was skillfull and knowledgeable. We saw many animals like a beaver, 4 river otters, a garter snake, bald eagles and many other birds.

Best excursion!

Alexandra_M, Sep 2023

Such a perfect day on Snake River! Liza was an awesome guide and the weather and river were perfect 😊

Fantastic day on the Snake River!

Barbara_S, Sep 2023

We had a fantastic day on the Snake River. Our guide, Ben, was great. I was glad for the wetsuit since we definitely got splashed. Exhilarating!

More fun than you can imagine

Carol_H, Aug 2023

This is a must do in Jackson Hole. Brian was thoroughly entertaining and extremely competent. Everyone on the raft had the time of their lives.

10/10

Sarah_D, Aug 2023

This is a must do on your trip! It was an absolute blast. The views were beautiful and the water was fun

A white water blast and memorable adventure!!

Madden, our guide, was perfect, a great oarsman and a wonderful personality to make the trip wonderful and memorable. We loved our bus driver Bob, as a local, he was very informative and humorous! One thing though. My wife opted not to go, I emailed Dave Hanson outfitters, weeks before the trip, they said I had to cancel through your website. I couldn’t figure it out on line and there was no number to call. I decided to not worry about it, hoping to use the unused ticket to tip my guide, the outfitter said I couldn’t do that it would have to go through Viator. It turns out a large crew had an extra person who had not signed up, Due to my wife opting out, they said they had a spot open., I was told they charged the family for the extra person. So it seemed Viator “double dipped” on the fee. I would have been fine if they let the other person go for “free” as I had already paid the fee. I was surprised they were charged. Will Viator reimburse me, due to the slot being filled and paid for a second time? Other than the difficulty in canceling and the implication of “double dipping” the fee, it was, as I expressed earlier, a wonderful and memorable trip!

Wet and wild ride on the Snake!

Lorraine_E, Aug 2023

Just the right amount of rapids for first timers. Grandkids loved the entire ride and got soaked! The guide was wonderful, Capt. Tuck, and he was knowledgeable and careful. We all enjoyed the trip so much and will do it again and let our friends know too.

Dave’s WW guided trip

The big kahuna…that was awesome. My boys and I had a blast being in front of the raft and being part of the paddling. Jumping in and cooling off. Facing the rapids we’re the best. The scenery without a doubt will never be forgotten.

Do it.

Michael_F, Aug 2023

Awesome experience. I’m so glad I booked this tour. Everyone was beyond helpful and friendly from start to finish.

Great adventure for my family and me.

Mike_F, Aug 2023

We had great time with Delaney on our Dave Hanson Family White Water raft trip. The entire day was well organized and great fun. The bus ride to and from the river was comfortable and informative. Delaney gave us an opportunity to "Bull Ride" the raft through a few rapids and take a dip in the chilly Snake river. One warning though, after the trip concludes, there is an uphill walk to the bus that is a bit strenuous and can be hard on some. Otherwise great fun all around.

Went from nervous to hooked in 8 miles

Bridget_S, Aug 2023

Exceeded expectations

Leilani_H, Aug 2023

Great time and our guide was great with our kids (age 10 and 13). They were able to get the full experience of paddling and riding up front, as well as floating / swimming in the river during a calm stretch. Highly recommend!

Great adventure

Kremer_N, Jul 2023

Delaney was a fantastic guide. She was great with our kiddos. The rapids were exciting. Bus trip there and back was painless.

Perfect Intro to Whitewater Rafting

Julie_W, Jul 2023

We had a really fun time with our 4 kids (ages 10-6). Everything was well organized and felt safe. We were super happy that wet suits were available at a reasonable price since the water was cold. we were totally comfortable with them on. Our guide, Alex, was really fun and friendly and knew a lot about the wildlife that we saw. It was a great day!

So much fun!

Josh_R, Jul 2023

Bryce was very professional, safe, and had a great sense of humor! What a fun experience that will last a lifetime!

Fun

Andrea_T, Jul 2023

Went with the family, my 12 year old was very nervous but had a great time! Wish the picture was less blurry but other than that all was good!

Just do it!

Barbara_F, Jul 2023

My kids (teens) favorite adventure in Wyoming! I even had a blast and I’ve never done anything like this before. So easy and fun and not as scary as I thought. Bryce was awesome and “maximized our adventure” swimmingly.. 😉

Amazing Time!

Jeff_O, Jul 2023

We had an amazing time and our guide, Parker, was fantastic! My kids will remember it forever. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience!

Rebecca_c, Jul 2023

We had the absolute best trip and will recommend to friends and family, without a doubt. Our guide Ben was funny, experienced and made the trip more fun. The staff at the outpost was also very friendly and helpful. 5 starts for the Dave Hansen Team!

Fun excursion

Nikita_A, Jun 2023

We had a total blast. Would definitely recommend this activity to others. Our guide, Emmy, was funny, she pointed out wildlife along the river, and had the kids (who wanted to) take turns riding in the very front.
