Decades ago, Dave named the two biggest rapids, Lunchcounter and Big Kahuna, and we have been owned and operated by river guides ever since. The home of the 8-man raft and continuous scenic/whitewater combo trips, we offer the most friendly, personalized trips on the river. We’ll get you paddling, get you laughing, and get you wet! « less

This is the place to go in Jackson for whitewater rafting! We had so much fun going through some pretty big rapids on the Snake River, but what sets this company apart from others is the excellence customer service! Everyone at the desk are incredibly friendly and our rafting guide Lily was lots of fun! It was obvious she knew... More

I brought with me a very large group of 128 rafters and Dave Hansen Whitewater and Scenic River Trips handled us like a champ! They provided bus transportation from our campsite, had wetsuits for those who wanted them, had skilled rafting guides, and gave us such a fun experience. I'll be coming back again soon. . . Maybe even in... More

I love white water rafting. This is my 3rd year in a row of going white water rafting with the Dave Hansen group and they are wonderful. The guides are a riot and make the trips so much fun. They are very knowledgeable and make you feel like you are completely safe in their hands. And they are very fun... More

We took a white water trip with Eric. He was very flexible and fun. There are no steep areas just rough water I sat in the back and did not get too wet. They rent wet suits which help since the water temp was 40-50. I was looking forward to pictures which 2 companies in town provided from one area... More

I did a 13 mile scenic float in the morning and then the whitewater trip in the afternoon. Both trips were amazing! The scenic float was gorgeous! We saw bald eagles and a couple nests, various other birds and the incredible scenery! There were cattle grazing on the river banks in several areas. At one place there was a family... More

Our family includes a 10, 9. and 8 year old who thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The staff was really fun and told a lot of great stories during our trip. It is enjoyable for the whole family. Will go again when we are back in Jackson.

Tok part in the 8 mile rafting tour courtesy of Dave Hansen. Our guide Ryan really knew his stuff, running through the safety stuff, and putting everyone at ease :-) Brilliant fun, and the wetsuit jackets were a good call, especially when we decided to hold an inprompotu back flip competition between our trek group and the leader....

We went on the combo trip. It was a great way to spend the day. It was cold so we rented wet suits for the rapids. The scenic portion takes about 2 hours to float. Take binoculars. They provided a packed lunch(pretty good). The rapids took about 60 minutes to float. The total trip is about 6 hours. Three hours... More

I have to admit, I was a little nervous about doing whitewater rafting. Afterall, I am in my 70's and I had never rafted before! But, the staff and river guide were very curteous, knowledgeable and professional and I felt incredibly safe with them leading us down the river! This was also my first trip out to Wyoming and they... More
