Their operation was smooth, they were ready to start early, they had great attention to details and our experience. The price was more than reasonable for this fun time. It is early in the season and the water is high. We experienced three 4s and several 3s. This was our first white water rafting trip and I wasn't sure what to expect. Stephen took care of us, knew the history of the area, and talked a lot. If I visit again, I'd use SRC again.

My expectations for the weekend were blown out of the water (literally) in the first ten minutes on the jet boat ride. I don't think we stopped smiling for 3 days. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for a wedding if rivers and mountains hold a piece of your heart. The staff was incredibly fun and accommodating. Dax is the cutest 6 year old host you'll ever meet and I felt almost no stress before the wedding because I knew Joni had everything under control. If you want a wild jet boat ride, jump on Bucks boat ;) Mackay Bar is truly a hidden gem in Idaho. All of my friends and family are texting me that we forever ruined their expectation of a wedding. Sunset horseback rides, fishing, hiking and phenomenal food. I am forever grateful for our wedding weekend and Mackay Bar and we are plotting to get back there as soon as possible.

With Mackay Bar I can tell you that the answer is a definitive yes! I could write a memoire but I'll keep this short and sweet; amazing accommodations and even better people.

My husband and I enjoyed the small museum on one of the stops and another stop was Sturgeon Rock which my husband jump off into the river. I do feel for the price the lunch could have been better. There were plenty of drinks for everyone. Captain Eric and Cassidy were great. They played music during the ride at our request and were very helpful getting in and out of the boat. Captain Eric had years of experience driving that boat so we felt very safe. We saw deer, big horn sheep, eagles and a sturgeon. A very professional company and nice big boats with a roof to shade us.

It was above and beyond our expectations and will be a vacation we will never forget!

We put it at Vinegar Creek boat ramp, outside of Riggins, and jetted up to China Bar Lodge where we ate lunch. They supplied us with home made sandwiches and delicious home made cookies, and we sat in the lodge and enjoyed the beautiful view of the river. The trip itself was fun. We got to see a lot of Idaho landscape that you will never see from any road, and were lucky enough to see some wildlife along the way. Bald Eagles, deer, mountain goats and sheep. It was awesome. Jeff, our boat pilot and one of the owners of the company, was super nice and he stopped the boat several times to tell us about the history and events that took place along the river. Also important to note was Brenda, who I spoke to several times during the reservation process. We had to change and update our reservation several times, as family availability for the trip changed, and as we had to make adjustments on who would be coming. Through all of this, Brenda was super helpful and took care of everything perfectly. All-in-all, this was a great experience, and would highly recommend Salmon River Tours for your wilderness river vacation experience.

In February my brother in law and I were watching DIY (Building off the grid, the river of no…read morereturn) about a fishing tour business that were rebuilding a cabin off the grid on the Salmon River. We texted back and forth for about an hour and soon decided to book a trip. Family and new friends from Alabama, Arizona, North Carolina and Idaho decided to make the trip. Well the long and short of it is we had a fabulous time with an amazing outfitter. I can't speak highly enough about SRT and the way they made the trip a total success! After watching the episode we felt like we knew Jess and Brenda but we had no idea how much fun it would be. Jess went way out of his way to see we had the best possible time and made the trip a total success. Rocky was a great tour guide and went way out of his way to take care of anything we needed. The food was was far more and way better than anything we expected. Dinner was prime rib and shrimp and breakfast was just as good, gourmet all the way. The jet boat trip is a can't miss. Jess gave us a fantastic tour and really highlighted the beautiful canyon they call home. I've been boating for most of my life but Jess can maneuver this boat like nothing I've ever seen! It may be their business but we think it was much more than that. The worst thing I can say is that we didn't book a couple more days to really appreciate the canyon. The best thing I can say about it is we're all planning to be repeat offenders to this hidden jewel, some as soon as within 2 months. This time we're going to spend the time fishing with people at SRT who truly know the river and canyon. We did a lot of research. There's a lot of outfitters out there. If you'd rather travel with people who truly love what they do this is the group for you. Watch the episode, book the trip. You won't regret it.

Brad and I spent the day with Roy, a historian, a patient teacher and a funny as hell human being. Such an accomplished guide, drift boats man, with a love for the lakes and the rivers, that he both loves, and thrives in. He truly wants his guests to succeed in catching fish and makes every effort to do so. I was not having much luck on the last day and the last part of our journey together. He told me that he was going to get me a fish. He gave me a standard rod and reel, and then it happened, finally, I got a great fish. Hallelujah!! He was truly pulling for me to finally get one and "we" did ! Thank you Roy for your expertise, your fun loving and patient demeanor. Can't say enough of what an absolute joy and amazing experience having spent two days with this learned soul of the water. See you next year my friend!!! Mike

His 35 years of experience was evident and I'd definitely book him again for another tour. we are hoping to do an overnight on the River with him one day.
