The bus drivers, George, was amazing. He was smart, personable, and funny. He provided information and history on the local area and wildlife. He took the time to stop and let us take pictures at a really nice scenic overlook of the snake river. We enjoyed the drive to and from just as much as we enjoyed the rafting! Our guide, Brian, was fun, safety conscious, and personable. Our group had four adults - two of which we're in their 60s. The staff made sure that they were confident, comfortable, and safe during this adventure. We recommend this company and will be back! read more

I took the 16 Mile Continuous Combo Trip with my 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter last July and we had a great trip. Everyone at Dave hansen was wonderful. We used the wet suits as we started early in the morning and our guide was able to spot all the wildlife my kids could not find. The white water portion was great and exciting. The guide took us down the middle of the rapids and my kids and I had a wonderful time. I highly recommend the trip and Dave Hansen and next time we will go for the day long white water trip now that my kids have experience and will be older. read more

Good staff, short wait. This place has great rapids and was a lot of fun. The stories the bus driver told were fun and interesting. I recommend this river rafting company if you are in Jackson Hole. read more

We took an afternoon whitewater rafting trip and it was amazing! Sarah did a fantastic job with our 8 person raft. We not only had a great time rafting, but she also allowed us to swim/float next to the raft in the calm parts. We saw some wildlife and even learned about how changed to the mountains around the river has impacted the rapids as well. Thank you for the fantastic experience! read more

I'm hooked! We had the best time in the small boat rafting with friends. Grace was our guide and she did an awesome job. Highly recommend this company. Clean and nice establishment, bus driver enjoyed history and sharing with us. Great time! read more

Awesome trip. We have been using Dave Hansen for our Snake River whitewater trips for the last 25 years. This years trip might have been the best ever. Great ride with awesome weather.

Thanks again for first class fun!!! read more

Our family of four had a great time on our whitewater rafting trip. We did the one with 16 people. Both my husband and son were paddlers. Our guide Jordan was great with instructions and everything went smoothly. Lots of splashing and laughs. Communication from beginning to end was great. I received reminder emails and the office staff was friendly and helpful when I had questions. This adventure made our Jackson, WY vacation extra special. read more

We had an amazing time here. We had a party of 7 and our guide, Hunter was extremely skilled and accommodating. It was my first time rafting on a 'real' river and not a ride in an amusement park, and although I was a little apprehensive, I felt comfortable. I would definitely do this again. Dave Hansen has an amazing thing going here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

My husband, 15yr old daughter, and I just came back from this rafting trip down the snake river. It was awesome! We loved every minute. Even the bus ride to the rafts was good. Very scenic and entertaining. Our guide was fantastic. The river was rough in some areas, most of it easy. We did get wet, and overall it was great fun. I highly recommend this company for rafting. read more

We had such a great time with Roger as our guide. He is definitely the most fun out of every guide on the river. It lasted about four hours start to finish and felt it was the right amount of time. We took our three kids ranging in ages of 13-17. They all had a great time and they all rode the bull and loved it. We would do it again for sure. read more

Wonderful experience. Professional & experienced staff. Our guide, Roger was fantastic. We spotted 3 bald eagles during our trip down the river. This was our first white water rafting trip. It was perfect for our beginner level ability. We were soaked head to toe, so bring a change of clothes for the bus trip back to town. read more

This was my first time whitewater rafting and I was impressed with the service and experience. Our guide Nolan educated everyone in the group and made sure we enjoyed our time. I am now looking forward to my next whitewater rafting trip. read more

Holy jamoly, what an awesome, awesome experience. Dave Hansen (run by a guy named Bud...) is a really professional company and made this a very good trip. The pre-rafting gathering, sizing for wetsuits, etc. was totally efficient yet laid back. Once we got to the river, the whole DH team was great about telling us everything we needed to know and properly stressing the dangers and precautions while not applying too much fear. Bryson was a really great guide. Spent a lot of time trying to get to know us and make sure he knew what everybody was expecting. He led us on a totally exhilarating trip (14 year record high waters!) that still felt safe the whole time. Can't say enough good things about the Dave Hansen team and the whole experience. It's the perfect mix of professionalism and high adventure. Highly, highly recommended. On a side note, the Dave Hansen logo is pretty cool too--picked up a t-shirt and hat to remind me of what life could be like while I'm toiling away at my government job in Washington, DC. read more

I've been on many rafting trips and this was on the low end of experiences. The lunch was lacking, the trip shorter than advertised, and the river parallels a highway. I had a good time but did not feel i got my money's worth. read more

Way exceeded expectations. Excellent guide (Peter P) who was highly skilled, passionate, and entertaining. The white water tour, though relatively short at 90 minutes, was outstanding! Fun rapids and beautiful stretch of the Snake River. FIve stars, despite the bus driver's Obama jokes...Thanks for a very memorable day! read more

This was a great rafting outfit. We were well taken care of and our children were catered to and thought of. The check in staff were friendly, despite the huge flow of people. Our guide Ryan was knowledgeable and humorous. We really enjoyed our white water ride through the Snake River. Pro tip: take snacks, you'll be hungry when you finish your rafting trip and they aren't provided. read more

We started our trip with a beautiful ride out to snake river and had a great bus driver- funny and kind. We arrive and our guide quickly finds us and off we go. Hunter was great- complete pro and our group had so much fun. The rapids were amazing and I was happy I chose this business when I saw another boat capsize. The equipment that Dave Hansen is super sturdy and you feel safe inside. Hunter's instructions in case of capsize or going overboard were completely thorough. It as an amazing time and I thank Dave Hansen Whitewater Trips for assisting in such a great memory. read more

Great, easy day worth the money! Not the Arkansas River but the Snake River is warmer. Excellent guides!

Great! Beautiful trip, knowledgable guide, kind and organized people. I would recommend this company to others for sure.

A group of us went out on a whitewater tour today and had a blast! I was actually pretty anxious about it because I've never done it and don't love water sports, but I was blown away at the safety and care the team took. Our guide was Billy and safety kayaker was Alex- AWESOME dudes. Try this out! read more

If I could give no stars I would. The staff was extremely rude and tried to bully me when I had to cancel my trip the day of because the weather suddenly changed. It was 45 degrees out. The day before it was 75 degrees. . I have 5 kids with me and 45 degree weather is unacceptable to take 5 kids rafting. When I asked them to help me I was treated poorly. I understand last minute cancellations, especially with covid. As a hairdresser, I haven't worked in 6 months from covid so I completely understand being grumpy about last minute cancellations. Per the policy it's a 2 day cancel. It's not like i cancelled because i didn't want to go. The weather changed to 45 degrees overnight. I cannot believe they would try to tell me the weather was fine with 5 kids who would freeze in 45 degree weather. They begrudgingly haggled me and unwillingly gave back half my money. I should've received the whole thing back. Thanks for taking my money and being rude! read more

We had a great time! We went on the 8:30 float in the morning and it was awesome. Our guide Blair J. was really nice and had a lot of great information to go along with her awesome personality. I would definitely recommend Dave Hansen's Whitewater Trips for people visiting the Jackson, WY area. read more

This was my first experience ever with white water rafting and it was definately an experience. It was 51 degrees out and the water on the Snake River was 50 degrees. BRRRRRR! So we get going and I'm only chilly. The ride was great!! So beautiful. And then we got to the Big Kahuna. It was great, but afterwards I was FREEZING!!!!! So our wonderful guide took ogg his sweatshirt and gave it to me. I thought that was soooo nice!!!! But yeah, I had a great time, everyone was so nice and professional. I would definately reccomend this place to anyone. Plus, the place serves free hot chocolate!!!! =D read more

Radical experience on the snake river! I sat up front with my brother on the other side and we got hammered by some heavy rapids! Between rapids we saw a great deal of wildlife and I even swam alongside the raft. The ride was exhilarating and Jordan (our guide) was outstanding. Brilliantly packed with fun and some furious white water. I highly recommend this spot for visitors and locals alike! read more

Our guide, Eric was great. He knew a lot about the area and made our trip awesome! He also didn't force us to slap the water with our paddles like a bunch of dorks. The bus ride was short wiconvenient drop off locations with bathrooms at both drop off and pick up. read more

We did the whitewater trip in a small boat with Jordan on 7/1 and had a blast! He was fun and also knew a lot about the wildlife we encountered. Bus ride was provided by George and I appreciated his dry sense of humor. Great experience overall! We definitely enjoyed the wetsuits since the air temp was still below 70 for our trip. read more

Alex was an amazing guide!!!! Great for all ages!! Would definitely use this company again. Great experience from beginning to end.
