So much fun. One of the best rafting trips I have been on. Some medium rapids. Also had nice calm water good for swimming in. Took a break on a small stone outlook. Rafts fit 7 people and the guide. That provide the raft, paddles, water socks and shoes, life jackets, and snacks. Had a fun time and you will to.

Great way to spend an afternoon. This year for our girls trip we branched out and added a few new activities! So glad we picked this one. Wish we could give you a 10. From beginning to end the crew was friendly, informative and just excited to be part of our experience. BJ thanks for your calm guidance, a few thrills and humor along the way. Great memories were made. Definitely would do this float again one of the best have ever been on.

Had nothing but the best experience floating the Boise River with BROO! Adam and Randy were very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Made everything fun, safe, and convenient. It was so nice to have everything taken cared of- equipment, life jackets, water shoes, etc., clothing specific for the weather, snacks, water, and even picture-taking by our tour guide throughout the tour with a link later to obtain the photos. Also, website was informational and easy to book from there.

Our family had an amazing time with BROO this summer! It was our first rafting trip with our three kids, the youngest being 5 years old. The guide, BJ, took perfect care of us. It was the perfect introduction to rafting and a great way to spend the day.

We took our family rafting with BROO and were so happy with our experience! Adam is so knowledgeable and was incredibly patient with our inquisitive, energetic kids. He took time to explain some of the history and point out things in nature that may go unnoticed to most. He absolutely loves what he does and it shines through! Our whole family of 6 loved the rafting trip and would highly recommend it!

An amazing way to celebrate our anniversary and my husbands birthday! Adam and BJ made the experience so fun and so easy. They were great guides as we rafted down the Boise River, through a few fun rapids and passing by stunning scenery. A mix of relaxation, adventure and stopping to swim in the river made this trip one I highly recommend! We’ll be back again and look forward to bringing our kids!

Adam and Randy provided us a great experience. Plenty of instruction on safety and what to expect. Three hour float with some fun rapids that got us a little soaked. Was blackberry season and stopped along the shore for some picking. Then on to the finish. Was a good experience.

A month ago I booked a River trip with Adam, my sister’s 80th Bday who has early- mid stage dementia. Three older ladies riding on the River turned out to be a great experience and so much fun that two months later my sister is still talking about it. She recently said “she’ll never forget our whitewater adventure”.💕 Now that’s really saying something about high impact fun. Unforgettable

Jennica, Adam and Randy were so professional, personable, and informative about wildlife, flora, and the river. It was so much fun without being long on the orientation or logistics. Rafting in an urban river is something everyone should experience.

This was such a great way to explore the Boise River, even as locals. It was a mix of serene rafting with informative info on the local wildlife and history from the guides, mixed with some really fun but not overly challenging white water pieces. Highly recommend!

BROO is Excellent. Would highly recommend this river guide company. My wife and son had never done a float and had the best time, they can't wait to go again. Randy our guide was the best and made the float a lot of fun. We saw a bald eagle and minks, and other wildlife along the lower Boise River it was great. BROO takes care of everything. We will float again and we will use BROO.

Unforgettable White Water Adventure with Randy the River Ninja from Boise River Outdoor Opportunities From start to finish, this white water rafting experience was a wonderful ride. The scenery was breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush was very real. But what truly made this trip unforgettable was our guide, Randy. Picture my wife and me channeling our inner adventurers… until one of those rapids had other plans and flung us out of the raft like soggy popcorn kernels. Enter Randy. Before panic could even set in, he was already in action—calm, focused, and incredibly swift. This man didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. I swear he teleported from the back of the raft into rescue mode before we even finished yelling “OH NOOO.” One second we were river roadkill, the next we were yanked back into the boat like fish in a cartoon—water-logged, confused, and wondering if we’d just imagined the whole thing. His quick thinking and expert maneuvering got us safely back on board in record time, with just enough drama to make for a great story and not a hospital visit. Aside from possessing superhero reflexes, Randy also had jokes, river wisdom, and the uncanny ability to make even the wettest wipeouts feel like a badge of honor. If you’re gonna fall out of a raft, you want Randy on that river 10/10 would fall out again, just for the story.

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Adam as our guide, and he was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we introduced ourselves, he remembered everyone’s names—including the five other guests—and used them throughout the entire trip, which made the experience feel so personal and welcoming. Adam was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating facts about the local wildlife and giving us some great insights about Boise (we’re from out of town, so we loved that!). He also had a great sense of humor that kept the whole group laughing and relaxed. As first-timers, we appreciated how clearly he explained how to use the paddles and position ourselves in the boat to feel safe and secure. The entire three-hour float down the river was not only fun and beautiful, but truly memorable—largely thanks to Adam’s awesome guidance and energy. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure! We’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Wear?

Look ahead at the weather and plan accordingly. Less than 50 degrees - Trips will be cancelled and 100% refunds provided. 50 to 70 degrees - Guests will be provided wetsuits, fleece base layers, and nylon splash protectors. Neoprene socks are provided and bringing your own non-cotton socks is recommended. 70 to 80 degrees - Guests will have fleece base layers and nylon splash protectors available for use. The nylon splash protectors will be brought with the raft in case a guest gets cold. Above 80 degrees - Typical swim wear is normally suitable. Bring water shoes if you have them but we have loaners if you don't. Flip-flops are not allowed and shoes must have a strap around back of foot. Swim wear is best but also plan for the sun as it can be intense on hot summer days. Anything but cotton is recommended! Also bring a wide brim hat for sun protection, helmets are recommended but not required; You can take them on and off at your desire.

Should We Bring A Towel?

Bringing a towel with you on the river will result in a very wet towel because the floor of the raft will be wet. Leave a towel in your car if you want to dry off after the trip. Often times it is hot and dry enough out that drying off with a towel is not necessary.

Is it ok if I can't swim?

These trips are for paddlers of all abilities and you don't have to be able to swim to have a seat on the raft. Our experienced guides are there in case there are any issues. Also, we provide personal floatation devices, PFD's, aka life jackets for everyone. Even if you can't swim, don't miss out on jumping into the river, you can just hold onto the raft.

Should I bring goggles?

This is your call, some people have sensitive eyes and don't want to get splashed at all. In general, goggles aren't necessary although they can be nice to have if there is a water splashing fight between rafts!

Do you accept tips?

Our guides work hard before, during, and after the trip so that your group can focus on having fun. Our guides appreciate any gratuities you feel are necessary when compared to the price and the quality of the service provided.

We Are Locals, Should We Use an Outfitter?

Outfitters are here to make life easy when it comes to river trips and reduce liability risk for organizations. Considering how much gear costs, storage requirements, and maintenance, an outfitter is a reasonable way to get the experience you are looking for without all the baggage. Also, most outfitters work hard to provide services that reduce damage to the environment, promote positive community settings, and provide unique job experiences. Thank you for any support!
