Age: 6+ | Duration: 3H - 3.5H | Roundtrip
1-2 hours on the water, depending on river flows - Transportation Included
Classic Whitewater Raft
Our 17-foot self-bailing Classic Raft is the gold standard for Snake River whitewater and the perfect introduction to rafting. Built to confidently handle the river’s big waves all season long, this larger boat provides a highly stable, thrilling ride that remains completely accessible for families and beginners, with a typical minimum age of 6 (depending on conditions).
While other outfitters pack up to 16 people into a boat, Lewis & Clark limits our Classic Rafts to a maximum of 12 guests. This gives your group more room to relax, a much more comfortable ride, and allows our guides to provide the individualized instruction and support that families and first-timers really appreciate.

Small Boat Whitewater Raft
If you are looking to turn your Snake River experience up a notch, Lewis & Clark is your best choice. Tackling the exact same legendary stretch of river as our Classic trips, no other outfitter offers a raft more exciting than our 14-foot self-bailers.
While other companies advertise ‘8-man rafts’ that rely on bulky oar frames, we run the last true paddle rafts in the valley. With only 4 to 7 paddling positions, you sit closer to the water for a splashier, more thrilling ride with unparalleled, personalized attention from your guide. You will feel the true impact of the rapids and get more thrills per mile than any other boat on the Snake.
Because this ride is so action-packed, the minimum age is 8 to 10 depending on conditions, and these boats are not available during high water season. If you book a small boat during extreme high water, your safety comes first. We will move your group to a larger Classic Raft and refund you the difference.
