Your wildlife safari starts here! Please arrive at our office 15 minutes prior to your trip departure. This gives you just enough time to check in, sign waivers, use the restrooms, and browse our shop. We recommend dressing in layers (mornings can be crisp!) and bringing sunglasses. Binoculars are highly recommended for spotting eagles! Once everyone is checked in, we board our bus for a short drive to the launch site at Wilson Bridge.

Your scenic float launches from this historic river hamlet nestled at the foot of Teton Pass. From the Wilson Bridge, you will push off for a peaceful 13-mile journey down to South Park Landing. This stretch is a local favorite because it features the beautiful "braided channels" of the Snake River but without the danger. Unlike the turbulent, technical water found inside the National Park, this section offers a smooth, gentle flow. It allows you to relax completely and focus on the premier Bald Eagle habitat and changing mountain scenery without worrying about the rapids.

As we launch from Wilson, you’ll want your cameras ready immediately. The beginning of the trip offers the most open, unobstructed views of the Grand Teton, Middle Teton, and South Teton peaks. It is the classic "postcard moment" before we dip lower into the river channel where the focus shifts to the wildlife and the water.

The river winds through these beautiful national forest lands, which are known as a premier nesting habitat for Bald Eagles and Osprey in the lower 48 states. Keep your eyes on the treetops as you float by!

As the Tetons fade into the distance, the river winds along the base of the Snake River Range. These mountains offer a softer, forested beauty compared to the jagged peaks of the park, especially in the spring when snow still clings to the upper slopes. You will float through a mix of wild cottonwood bottoms and beautiful private ranches, showcasing life along the river. It is a relaxing finish to your journey on this designated Wild and Scenic River, a protected status that safeguards the crystal-clear water and native cutthroat trout habitat you'll marvel at.

As your 13-mile journey concludes, we pull into the Southpark Boat Ramp. Tucked away in the scenic southern reaches of the valley, this is our final landing point where the gentle currents of the Snake River meet the shore. Our professional shuttle team will be waiting here to assist you off the raft and help transition you from the water back to land. Take one last look at the towering Snake River Range and the wide Wyoming sky before we board the bus for the short, comfortable ride back to town.

The adventure comes full circle as our shuttle brings you right back to your car at the office. This final stop allows you to ease back into your day and reflect on the wildlife and Teton views you experienced on the water. Before you head off to your next Jackson Hole adventure, feel free to browse the shop for a unique souvenir to remember your trip by, or take a moment to chat with your guide and share a final thank you for their expertise on the river.
