The people were very friendly and our tour guide was very informative. The area was beautiful, a good location for a quant scenic tour. We took the scenic and rapid tour both were nice but I do favor the rapid ride because it was more exciting. Another great feature with rapid tours in this area is they have a photo... More

We had a great time on this outing. Everything was very professionally handled. Billy, our guide, had the classic river guide personality and we enjoyed talking to him as we headed down the river (the laughs were plentiful as well). If Billy's available, grab him for your trip. Always felt safe and secure...even one in our party who was perpetually... More

Everything I imagined it would be. We met at their business office and then was bused about 45 minutes away to the Snake River canyon area where you put into the river. Actual rafting time on river is about an hour and half, which makes the whole event about 3 hours time. We were in a raft with 8 people... More

We had previously rafted the new river in west virginia so we had high expectations. We booked our trip through their office in downtown Jackson hole, but there were a few details we were not told. We opted for the scenic and raft trip. We understood it to be a couple hrs on the scenic trip, then eat lunch ,then... More

Professional, courteous and always a thrill! This was my third trip with Sands, with many years in between each visit. Consistency is everything and Sands has mastered white water regardless of your experience level. Will return yet again. Remember to bring your towels (yes, you will get very wet) and waterproof cameras and sunscreen. Great experience always!

We did the scenic rafting trip. I called to book the trip. At that time only the 3 of us in our group were scheduled. We were told if no one else booked, it would be cancelled or changed. NOT!!! We went and they took the 3 of us on the trip. Our own personal rafting trip. Our guide "Pierce"... More

This was my kids' first rafting trip and we all loved it. The guide Dan S was great. It was late season so smaller rapids but still fun and saw osprey and a bald eagle! Can't wait to go again.

Pierce was our guide for our float wonderful trip down the Snake River and he did a great job. We did the mid-day lunch 13-mile tour and I wish it was longer. Pierce showed us wear to look for eagles and elk. I done whitewater trips that were fun but a lot of work too. It was so relaxing to... More
