Idaho outfitters take care of everything on these trips. Guides row the rafts or lead guests in paddling their own. They provide tents and waterproof gear bags. They cook all the meals, including salads made from fresh fruits and vegetables and Dutch-oven baked breads and desserts. They lead games on the beach and around the campfire.
Guides provide instruction.
All ages can learn paddling skills at a special kayak school on Idaho s Payette River. Guided canoe trips explore the Owyhee River and the Snake River through the Hagerman Fossil Beds. To see a lot of river and country in a short time, jet boats are the way to go. Built for comfort and durability, jet boats are the motorized craft of choice on big rivers such as the Main Salmon and the Snake River in Hells Canyon. They carry guests on sightseeing trips into river canyons for a few hours or a few days.
