Everything You Need for a Great Trip

Our 5-day river trips are designed so you don't have to worry about a thing. We handle all the cooking, set up the camps every day, and provide excellent safety gear so you can fully enjoy your vacation outdoors.

Beautiful River Canyons

Float through fun white water rapids (Class III and IV waves) and stop at large, clean sandy beaches. Along the way, you can visit natural hot springs, see old historic ghost towns, and play beach volleyball at camp.

Great Group Discounts

Planning a big trip with friends or family? We want to make it easy. We offer an automatic 10% discount on standard adult tickets for any group of 8 or more people who book their trip together.

Easy Travel Packages

We make getting to and from the river simple. We help arrange complete travel plans, including charter flights from Boise to Salmon, Idaho, and convenient car shuttles back to McCall after the trip.

Parallax Background

Over 45 Years of River Rafting Experience

Since 1978, Action Whitewater Adventures has been guiding guests down the best rivers in Idaho. Started under the direction of outfitter Verle Duerden, our river trips focus on safety, great service, and showing you a wonderful time outdoors.

Choose Your Style of Boat

We bring a variety of boats on every single trip so you can choose how you want to ride. Sit back in a stable oar raft while your guide rows, join a multi-person paddle boat where everyone paddles together, or steer your own individual inflatable kayak.

Delicious Camp Cooking

Our camp food is one of the best parts of the trip. We serve great meals like hand-cut New York strip steaks, fresh chicken fajitas, premium cheesecakes, and warm berry shortcakes baked right in a Dutch oven over the campfire.

Clean and Safe Equipment

We keep our camps clean and safe by using professional setups under strict U.S. Forest Service rules. We use clean propane cooking stoves, heavy-duty waste systems, and clean solar-powered water filters for pure drinking water.

Expert River Guides

Our guides are friendly, highly trained, and love what they do. They are experts at navigating whitewater rapids safely, explaining local history and rock formations, and cooking amazing food for everyone.
