What an amazing experience. Our guide was funny and entertaining but more importantly Bryan kept us safe. The float is such a wonderful way to see the Tetons from the river. It was so peaceful being in the heart of this natural wonderland. I highly recommend this trip.

This was a highlight of our trip to Yellowstone and The Grand Tetons! We got the most stunning photo of the trip, thanks to our guide Bernie who gave us a heads-up. Everyone says it looks like a postcard, and I'm a point-and-click person with an iphone. Bernie was very engaging and obviously in love with the Tetons and living his best life. I have to say something about the company in general -- they were quick and patient when I had to change days and times at least three times. My daughter is disabled and uses a wheelchair, and they were not only accommodating, they were so helpful getting her on and off the float and having her wheelchair ready right at the post-trip pick-up spot. I wish I had gotten the name of the young man who really went above and beyond. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it.

My wife and I went on the float trip 2 weeks ago as part of a guided tour of Grand Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. True to what our tour director said, it was a very relaxing experience that allowed one to observe closely the beauty of the Tetons and the wildlife in it. Bryan, our boatman, shared many interesting facts and directed our attention to wildlife sightings such as beavers, merganser ducks, and bald eagles. It all made for a fun photography experience. Unfortunately, upon leaving the float I inadvertently left a camera lens accessory on the float. I almost wrote that off as a loss but, thankfully, Bryan found it and let the office staff contact our tour director. Jennifer and Isabel were very helpful and patient in getting the piece sent back to me as soon as possible. Really appreciate what Bryan, Jennifer and Isabel did for me. You’re the best!

We did a 2 hour trip. Our guide, Zen, was terrific. Zen provided a great deal of information about the area. The river is very calm. You will not have regrets.

Perfect way to end our trip. Sam was our guide/oarsman and he did a great job. I’ve never been on a raft ride where I didn’t get wet, not even my shoes! The views were incredible and even though we didn’t see the elusive moose, we were happy floaters.

We had a wonderful experience on our scenic float down The Snake River. We did the public tour and had 10 other people on our raft. Our guide, Monte was experienced, knowledgeable and very funny. The scenery was gorgeous and it was so relaxing. I would definitely do it again!

Relaxing way to enjoy the snake river. I would highly recommend doing the last tour as the magic of sunset over the Tetons so close is incredible. Our guide Andy was superb with all around knowledge with regards to the area, the phone and the wildlife. He was extremely good spotting, beavers, and the birds of prey. We are fortunate enough to spot a bull moose.

We have taken this trip many times but wanted to share the experience with our SC sisters. They loved it. Weather was glorious and being able to see the Tetons for the entire float was a treat. They look so different from the various angles and in different light! Our guide made the effort to know our names and was fun and knowledgeable. Thank you Solitude for another wonderful Wyoming experience.

Our float trip down the Snake River was an absolute highlight of our vacation, and we couldn't be happier that we booked it. We all loved the experience, and it was made truly special by our fantastic and informative guide, Jay. Jay made sure to point out every eagle, osprey, and other bird he saw, which my son absolutely loved. We were also lucky enough to spot some incredible wildlife, including some deer and an amazing sighting of a mother and baby moose! The entire trip was perfect from start to finish. We are so glad we chose this tour and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and educational adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can we expect to see on the float?

This gentle two-hour float highlights some of the most stunning scenery in Grand Teton National Park. Guests often enjoy views of the Teton Range, quiet stretches of the Snake River, and wildlife such as bald eagles, moose, beavers, elk, mule deer, and waterfowl. Every trip is unique based on seasonal movement and river conditions.

Where does the scenic float launch?

All scenic floats with Solitude Float Trips launch from Deadman’s Bar inside Grand Teton National Park. This exclusive put-in provides direct access to one of the most peaceful, scenic stretches of the Snake River. We do not launch from Wilson Boat Ramp.

What should we wear and bring?

Weather can shift quickly along the Snake River. We recommend dressing in layers and wearing shoes that can get a little wet. Sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are helpful on sunny days. Bringing a small camera, phone, or reusable water bottle is encouraged.

How wet do guests get on the scenic float?

This is a calm, non-whitewater stretch of the river, so guests typically stay dry. Minimal splashes may occur near the shoreline or from paddles, but this trip is designed for comfort and easy sightseeing. Your guide at the oars will navigate the smoothest channels whenever possible.

Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?

Wildlife is abundant along the Snake River, but sightings can never be guaranteed. Our guides are highly experienced naturalists who understand seasonal patterns and river habitats, increasing your chances of seeing animals during the trip. Even without wildlife, the scenery alone makes the float unforgettable.
