Great experience with the company and Kevin our rafting guide! The drive was a little long on the bus and the walk up the hill after the trip kinda stunk but we had a blast and would definitely do it again. And a little FYI you are not rafting through the Tetons but it's a stunning veiw while rafting.
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.
This was our third trip down the Snake River and boy it was amazing. Keegan, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and knew exactly how to hit the rapids for the most bang for your buck. He also kept it fun between our two group boats.
Thank you sir we had a great time!
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 guide Austin was fantastic. They made sure that we were all taken care of with the great and knew what we were doing. I would take another trip with Barker-Ewing in a heartbeat.
The logistics of everything worked out smoothly. It would have been nice to get more recommendations about what to wear. Our guide was fine, very skilled at rafting but the commentary wasn't the best. Would have liked to learn more about the area. I wasn't super impressed by the views.
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.
Mac is the best guide!! Very friendly, fun, knowledgable and safe! Make sure to request him😃🏔
Our family did the white water rafting. Our guide was well experienced and made us feel very safe. It was a fabulous afternoon going down the Snake River.
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.
Can't 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!
