Our rafting experience with Zack in the beginning of June was amazing. The water was very cold in the beginning of the season so we were given the wet suits. We were very lucky because in our boat there was only 5 of us and Zack, the guide. He is an amazing person and experienced rafter. We will never forget his jokes and positive attitude. He is a really great asset to the company! Thank you for such an awesome vacation fun in Jackson, Wyoming.

We went on the 8-mile whitewater trip with our guide, Will. It was a great trip and Will was super cool. Will was an equal opportunity guide meaning, you all will get wet! Definitely a must while in Jackson.

We had a great trip with Tim in July 20. Beautiful scenery. Constant laughter in the boat, especially when my wife was bounced out in a rapid. Would do it again.

Beautiful tours from capable and knowledgeable guides that are interested in the individual guests. We went on a scenic ride in the morning with Dan where we saw the gorgeous Tetons. Johnny the bus driver was efficient and fun as well. In the afternoon we were driven by Christy through gorgeous mountains with just a bit of traffic. We were then led by Kevin on a thrilling ride through the rapids. I always felt that I was safe in the hands of the guides, but they were also very friendly and talkative. Overall a fantastic experience for any visitor to the Jackson Hole region.

We had a great time on the Snake. Collin was our guide and did a great job of making it fun. Our son “rode the bull” on some of the rapids. Daredevils in your bunch need to do that!

We thoroughly checked out all the white water rafting Outfitters and decided to go with Barker-Ewing. We were not disappointed at all. Great crew. Nice facilities. Knowledgeable staff. Kegan and Alex were the best guides. We will definitely be back. Thank you all for the great experience.

Beautiful experience made along the river. It was possible to see not only a beautiful landscape but also many animals such as eagles, pelicans, ducks, but also elk along the shore. The guides were available for any questions. The persononal was very competent and available. The price was adequate. I recommend taking a boat ride in the morning as there are few people and it is easier to spot the animals.

Great way to spend a few hours taking in the Snake River. Kevin, our river guide, is highly recommended. Def recommend opting for a small raft - 8 people - if you truly want to feel like youre part of the experience. The larger rafts are for those that simply want to sit and float along and offer the ability to remain pretty dry...not in the small rafts, especially up front. Still very safe way to hit the Class IIIs on the Snake.

It was a lot of fun. The gides are nice and depending on time of year the water can be cold but wetsuits can be proveded. There is a lot of wildlife. Its very safe a 5 year old can do it. Im planing on going back sometime.

Went on a morning/afternoon raft down the Snake River (2 adults+1 4-year old). Event was on-time, staff was very friendly and knowledgable, van ride to-from the raft was comfortable, and the bag lunch area after the ride was just perfect. We saw lots of bald eagles. I would highly recommend this company and hope to use their services again.

What a fantastic experience! Travis was our guide for a scenic raft tour on the Snake River. He clearly loves what he does. Barker-Ewing is a family owned business that is working hard to take care of their customers and staff during these crazy times. Would highly recommend!

Our guide, Tim, was excellent and made it a very special day for our family (ages 13-71). The 8-mile run was the perfect stretch of river for beginners, with some splashy rapids sections as well as areas where we could jump out and swim. We had a couple of bald eagle sightings as well. A day well all remember. Thanks B-E team!

Colin is the funniest tour guide you’ll ever get. Must be the mustache. 😆 But seriously he made it enjoyable for the old folks and the kids alike. Book it now and request Colin. Dudes a trip and very knowledgeable about the river and wildlife.

It was a great trip down the river but I would suggest going a little earlier.. water is colder and the water is higher from snow melt.. we stopped two-thirds of the way to have a delicious burrito made by the guide..

If you have a choice of guides, pick Zack! Fun, exciting trip thanks to his expertise and knowledge of both rafting and his surroundings. We felt safe and comfortable rafting, while enjoying learning about the River and local Wildlife! There were kids on board and Zack was awesome with them as well:)The staff in the office were also wonderful/helpful. Thank-you from Connecticut! Highly recommend Barker-Ewing Whitewater!

Review №31

Professional staff that knows their trade well. The price at first seems high, but then you realize you get a dedicated boat with only one other family, in a dedicated river, dedicated scenery with a dedicated river guide, for two hours. At that point, it has very high value!

It was a nice experience. We were fortunate to have Tom as our guide. He kept sharing his rafting adventures throughout the 8 mile ride which made it more fun and lively.Would recommend this for first time rafters. Not too stressful. Class three rafting.This experience made me want to try out a class four or class five rafting.

This was a great experience for my family in Jackson hole. We started with the morning scenic float. That was a leisurely float down the river with a great guide named Zach who was knowledgeable about the wildlife and features along the river.The second part of the day was the white water river rafting. That was fun and great for my son and daughter aged 10 and 12. They loved it so much and water up go again! Lol. Our second guide Jordan was great as well and kept my son engaged the whole time. An astounding feat in itself!Highly recommended for families!

We did the morning run of the white water rafting trip and had a great time. Check in was easy, they have wetsuit jackets, bibs, leggings, shoes, etc. available, $5 gets you two pieces and you can add on for a bit more, highly recommended as the water was very cold even in August. Definitely bring a change of dry clothes and towel, and maybe a snack for the bus ride back. Otherwise youll be wet for the ride back, which would be pretty harsh. River ride was fun, good mix of relaxing and floating with splashing and rapids. Billy was our guide and did a great job, pointed out wildlife like eagles and osprey. Total raft trip was about an hour and a half. Recommend it.

Review №54

What a great way to spend a Sunday! I was fortunate enough to schedule a breakfast combo trip in late August and it was AWESOME!! I was part of the Cycle Greater Yellowstone ride and was having difficulty arranging transportation from the campsite of the CGY to the Barker-Ewing office. The staff was incredible in helping me work out those major issues starting several weeks prior to my trip. Our guide, Sprat, was entertaining, knowledgeable about the local wildlife, and relayed a sense of confidence that put us all at ease. Loved the breakfast stopover....a nice little hike up to a campfire with a delicious hot breakfast waiting for us. The last half of the trip rocked.....great rapids! Overall this was well worth it. The price was reasonable, the staff was stellar, the organization of the trip was well thought out...cant think of one thing I would change or do different. Thanks Barker-Ewing for a great trip!

Everyone in our family of five thought our whitewater rafting trip with Barker-Ewing was the highlight of our Yellowstone trip. Setting up the trip by phone with an employee was easy. The representative helped me pick a ride that would fit our kids ages (11,9, and 8). When we got to Barker-Ewing, we were greeted by a friendly and helpful employee who let us know what we needed, i.e., said we would need wetsuits and water shoes and thank goodness took his advice and rented. We got wet, and the water was cold. We also had the opportunity during the trip to get in the water in some calm areas. Without the wetsuits, we would not have been able to do that. The guide, Will, was fun and very experienced. He seemed to love what he was doing, and it showed. The trip down the snake river was the perfect amount of thrill and beauty for our family, and our we highly recommend Barker-Ewing Whitewater.

My husband and I were on a three week road trip out west. We are in our 70s and didnt want to try the rafting. We did the float trip which was perfect for us. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and we were quite comfortable the whole time. Scenery was exceptional, we saw an eagle red tail hawk and a egret. We also saw an osprey catch a fish which was quite entertaining. Would love to do again, thanks everyone!Betty Braitling

Great rafting experience! We had Zach as our guide on about an hour-long trip and thoroughly enjoyed our time. They made sure we were safe and comfortable, they were very knowledgable about the river and were happy to answer questions, and above all, they clearly enjoyed helping us have a great time. I would absolutely recommend this place!

Our family did the breakfast float trip this June with Austin as our guide. First off, the Staff at the office was very accommodating and friendly. They had wetsuits for rental and thought prices were reasonable ($10-$12 depending upon how many pieces)Our bus driver, Jake was great and kept a watchful eye all our stuff when we went on the whitewater section and entertained with his mandolin.Cant say enough good things about Austin! Our first impression was laid back Cali surfer, but he turned out to be an absolute wealth of information and made the trip both fun and educational. He made it a great trip for our kids, us, and the other couple in the boat! We had a blast in the rapids yet felt safe and the time flew by. Our daughter enjoyed it so much, she wants to go back and work their next summer!

Its great to see a company that has been around a while maintain its standards. In 1986 we took our children on a Snake River white water rafting trip. This year we returned with our grandson, and of course booked Barker-Ewing again. We were not disappointed! The day before our trip I met people who had been with another company the day before. The weather was unseasonably cold and they froze. B-E had wetsuits for us and the cold was not an issue for us.

The staff and guide (Tom) were super nice and helpful. We had a great time running an 8 mile stretch of the Snake River with several class 2 and a class 3 rapids. When we went down, the water level was at about 6k cfps (down from 15k cfps) in June. The guide, Tom, said he likes it best with 8-10k cfps. This trip was with 12 and 15 year old kids who also loved it.

Even though it poured on us all morning during the pre-breakfast float down the river, our party of 10 ranging in age from 6 to 44 had a BALL on the river with our guide Hillary. The breakfast was delicious and fortunately, by the time that the rafting portion of our trip began, the rain had stopped and we were able to try to only stay dry from the river and not from mother nature! The personnel were friendly from reservation to disembarkment back at our condos in Teton Village (company sent a van for us due to size which was very convenient). Very professional and fun - one our trip highlights!
