Exclusive Raft Adventure with Lunch

Sun Valley Whitewater Rafting in Stanley Idaho

Sawtooth Adventure Co’s Lunch Trip is by far, our most popular adventure.   SAC’s lunch trip is a snapshot of our Middle Fork & Main Salmon Wilderness River Trips.   We introduce the relaxing pace of ‘river-time as we spend the day exploring the Class III family friendly rapids, plunge off  ‘Jump Rock’,  go on a hike and explore the Salmon River canyon.  Upon arrival at our river-side lunch camp guests will have the opportunity to play river games, relax in comfortable chairs and enjoy a spectacular lunch including our famous Dutch oven cakes.  We are the only company to accommodate a quick and beautiful hike above Robinson Bar ranch during your rafting adventure. 


Lunch trips are available mid-June thru mid-August.  We limit our lunch trip capacity to ensure the highest quality rafting and lunch experience.  Book Today!
