A Whitewater Rafting Trip is unlike any other Family Vacation and there is no better family adventure. Whitewater rafting for families on the Main Salmon River is a life changing experience. Your family will experience the trill of world class white water, soak in pristine hot springs, play sand volleyball, hike to a ghost town, lounge on your own private beach, enjoy a gourmet dinner, and in the evening swap stories around a camp fire while roasting marshmallows to make smores, all in the same day! This really is your perfect family vacation.

On what other vacation for your family could people ranging from 6 to 96 years old come, and all agree that it was the best family vacation they’ve ever had? A family river rafting trip will bring out the best your family by strengthening your family ties. Your family will laugh more on a week long river trip than they usually do in the real world in a month, and laughter recognized as being therapeutic and good for the soul and the family.

A river trip is simply about having a good time, with great people, in a spectacular setting. A river trip emphasizes the important things in life, and eliminates the trivial matters that we all get too caught up in. A family river trip removes these distractions and allows your family to simply enjoy life, and have fun. The biggest decision is deciding whether to have seconds on the salmon filets or save room for Dutch Oven peach cobbler.

On each whitewater trip we run oar boats, paddle boats, and inflatable kayaks so every member of the family can choose their own level of activity. You can spend an active day in the paddle boats and duckies (inflatable kayaks) or just relax and take pictures on the oar boat and let the guide do the work for you. Family whitewater rafting trips are very affordable and comprehensive, we provide all rafting and camping equipment, as well as gourmet meals. In other words, we do all the cooking, all you have to do is sit back and relax. Although you’ll have plenty of time to interact with your family, you’ll also have time to relax without having to worry about your children.

Bring your family and escape this summer to a land of warm water, fun rapids, beautiful sandy beaches, no cooking and great service from attentive guides; camp in style and comfort traveling through the most beautiful yet rugged and remote area of Idaho, all without a care in the world. We'd love to have you and your family join us on the river.

Here are just a few excerpts from letters we’ve received from our customers:

“Your professionalism made our trip sensational and also a good bonding trip for our family.” The Hendrickson family. 2006

“We would like to thank you for providing our family the vacation of a lifetime!  Your experienced staff made us feel welcome and safe at all times. We also like to comment on the fact that we were very nervous about the safety of our children on this trip.  I have to say that there was not a time during our adventure that we worried about the kids.  All your guides were fantastic with the children.  They made sure that life jackets were on at all times, and they were tightened properly.   They even made sure the kids had on enough sun screen and water to drink!   By the second day, my husband and I were in different boats!  Now that is saying something!” 
The Roe Family. 2006

“This was better than our trips to Hawaii by far!  The kids want to go back next year and bring more friends.”
The Miller family

“The memories of our trip will last a lifetime and make any other trips we take hard to live up to the time we spent with Action Whitewater Adventures.”

“Everyone and everything was absolutely splendid!!! It was a trip of a lifetime, thanks!”
