Great experience with Pierce! The rest of the crew was super nice too.

Our guide kai was awesome

Even the Rain Couldn’t Ruin This Adventure! We had such an incredible experience with Sawtooth Adventure Company—even with the rain, it turned into one of those unforgettable, joy-filled days you can’t stop smiling about. We braved Class 3 rapids (MY FIRST TIME) with the amazing Kaiya as our river guide. She was confident, fun, and so in tune with both the river and the group. Her calm energy and sense of humor made the adventure feel exciting but never intimidating. We felt safe, supported, and fully immersed in the moment—even soaked in rain! Our bus driver Scarlett was equally fantastic—warm, funny, and just the kind of person you love to start and end your trip with. She made the ride feel like part of the adventure itself. We also had two other wonderful guides leading the other rafts—everyone brought such great energy and encouragement. One of the most memorable moments was watching a group of young adults from Maine—way braver than we were!—all jump off Jump Rock into the freezing river. Total rockstars. We cheered them on from the boat while being very content to stay dry-ish. And to top it all off? Grace’s chocolate chip cookie bars on the ride back—pure happiness after a wet and wild afternoon. Highly, highly recommend this company, and if you’re lucky enough to have Kaiya guiding your raft and Scarlett behind the wheel, you’re in for a truly unforgettable day. Warmly, Scott Summerlin & Karen Sassadeck

Kaiya Endo and Hans Holbrook guided us down a perfect stretch of the daily last weekend. Thanks SAC for an all-around great day! :)

We had an amazing experience rafting for a day trip out of Stanley Idaho. In fact, we had so much fun that we went back a second time in a week, once rafting and once on a kayak. Would particularly recommend Hans and Kaiya as our guides, very professional, upbeat and fun. A great company and a fabulous time.

Amazing day on the Salmon River with our guide Hans. A perfect day on the river.

Fun and memorable day on the Salmon River with our guide Will Stack and the Sawtooth Adventure Company crew. Cannot recommend this outfit enough! Will was attentive and entertaining with all of us, but with our 5-year old especially who was made "Apprentice Whitewater Guide" for the day, a day he no doubt will remember fondly. Ask for Will as your guide, you won't be disappointed! We look forward to our next adventure with SAC, our trip on the river today has us planning our next trip already.

My white water rafting trip with Sawtooth Adventure Company was an absolute triumph, largely due to our phenomenal guide, Hans, whose unparalleled expertise and radiant passion elevated the experience to extraordinary heights. Hans’s remarkable ability to foster a safe and nurturing environment allowed us to fully embrace the exhilarating rapids with confidence and joy. His eagle-eyed vigilance gifted us with breathtaking wildlife sightings, including a regal bald eagle and a graceful osprey, moments that felt like pure magic. With an encyclopedic knowledge of the area, Hans wove captivating stories and delightful tidbits about the region’s history and ecology, making every paddle stroke a journey through time. His infectious enthusiasm and genuine care for each of us transformed the trip into a soul-stirring adventure that will live in my heart forever. Sawtooth Adventure Company’s flawless organization and top-tier equipment were the perfect backdrop to Hans’s masterful guidance. I can’t sing Hans’s praises loudly enough—he’s a true legend, and this company is a gem for delivering such an awe-inspiring experience! As a reminder! Your guide may tip you over, but you can't overtip your guide!

Although it wasn't a Saturday we had a piercing good time!!

We had so much fun with the Sawtooth Adventure Company crew! It was our first inflatable kayak experience and Logan was an awesome guide! He was informative and excited the whole time. He also came in clutch with fruit snacks, so that made things even better. 🙌🏻 Special shoutout to Hans for adapting quickly and Kaiya for throwing together an amazing lunch!
