This is an awesome experience!! If you are wanting an adrenaline ride then the double Shoshone is the one to do. So much fun and in such a beautiful place. Very well organised. Excellent guides. We want to do it again.

Absolutely amazing experience

We REALLY enjoyed our trip !! First time rafting and I have to say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Our tour guide Jamie was the absolute best and really knew what he was doing which made us feel comfortable during the entire trip. We drove 3 hours for this trip and will most definitely make the drive again. We are really wanting to do a full day of rafting with this company! HIGHLY recommend.

We love to hear it! Glad you had a great experience on the river with Jamie. Come back and we can absolutely get you out for the Full Day rafting adventure. Thank you for choosing Defiance!
