Reviews of Barker-Ewing Whitewater (Travel Agency)

Casmin Wisner

Okay this trip was way fun. The Big Kahuna was my jam. Wish it was a little wilder, but that's the crazy in me talking. However, it got my heart pumping and still had me feeling perfectly safe the whole time (as well as the older gents and children with us). Our guide was awesome and knew a lot about the river, wildlife, history, and other fun things to do in Jackson, and I'd certainly visit again.

Great adventure

Cindy Grantham

Our family of six booked the overnight rafting trip. It was the highlight of our Yellowstone/Grand Teton vacation! Austin was entertaining, endearing, hilarious and appealed to parents, teens and kids alike. The camp was clean, the food was delicious and the scenery top-knotch. Overall the entire trip could not be improved. We would definitely book with Barker-Ewing again!

John Kelleher

Matt Ostrander

laraine was great! Had a great time!!!

Ross Asay

Elliott was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and fun. He hit every rapid perfectly! Spotted eagles and even a mountain goat. My family was begging me to go again.

N/S Pieniek-Jones

Will was our guide and made the trip so much better! He was entertaining, knowledge and enthusiastic! We felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. And we even have some white water converts! Would definitely recommend it!

Erica Babb

Bubba here! Went on a trip with Captain Will and he was the best! He was very knowledgeable about the river and wildlife-saw several osprey, two eagles, trout and a beaver. Thanks for an awesome experience!

Jack Chambless

Way overpriced. We did the same trip in Washington for a lot less money, and far more rapids. These guys charge you for wetsuits and other clothing on top of a ton of money more than other outfitters. Their bus broke down and after more than a half hour we got picked up with no offer of a partial refund or anything. Will not use them again.

Brad Quadhamer

We did the Combo trip. Best part of our time in Jackson. Austin our guide was a lot of fun.

Ben S

Fun experience, beautiful scenery, we saw lots of birds

Our family did the breakfast float trip this June with Austin as our guide. First off, the Staff at the office was very accommodating and friendly. They had wetsuits for rental and thought prices were reasonable ($10-$12 depending upon how many pieces) Our bus driver, Jake was great and kept a watchful eye all our stuff when we went on the whitewater section and entertained with his mandolin. Can't say enough good things about Austin! Our first impression was laid back Cali surfer, but he turned out to be an absolute wealth of information and made the trip both fun and educational. He made it a great trip for our kids, us, and the other couple in the boat! We had a blast in the rapids yet felt safe and the time flew by. Our daughter enjoyed it so much, she wants to go back and work their next summer!

Karen Stewart

Everyone in our family of five thought our whitewater rafting trip with Barker-Ewing was the highlight of our Yellowstone trip. Setting up the trip by phone with an employee was easy. The representative helped me pick a ride that would fit our kids ages (11,9, and 8). When we got to Barker-Ewing, we were greeted by a friendly and helpful employee who let us know what we needed, i.e., said we would need wetsuits and water shoes and thank goodness took his advice and rented. We got wet, and the water was cold. We also had the opportunity during the trip to get in the water in some calm areas. Without the wetsuits, we would not have been able to do that. The guide, Will, was fun and very experienced. He seemed to love what he was doing, and it showed. The trip down the snake river was the perfect amount of thrill and beauty for our family, and our we highly recommend Barker-Ewing Whitewater.

Great experience

Kevin T

Awesome trip! Fun for the family. Great staff, fun guide. Well worth it

Mike Farnes

Our guide Austin was fantastic. They made sure that we were all taken care of with the great and knew what we were doing. I would take another trip with Barker-Ewing in a heartbeat.

Simon Hill

Genuinely brilliant trip with Will as our guide. He was knowledgeable, interesting and great fun. We felt really safe, even with our children 13 and 10. The ride was exhilarating! I really thought the trip was good value for money! Highly recommended

Grady Lynn

Great rafting experience! We had Zach as our guide on about an hour-long trip and thoroughly enjoyed our time. They made sure we were safe and comfortable, they were very knowledgable about the river and were happy to answer questions, and above all, they clearly enjoyed helping us have a great time. I would absolutely recommend this place!

Josh Ward

Zach and Elliot did great!

Wallace Williams

Great naturalistic experience

Savino Occhionorelli

Beautiful experience made along the river. It was possible to see not only a beautiful landscape but also many animals such as eagles, pelicans, ducks, but also elk along the shore. The guides were available for any questions. The persononal was very competent and available. The price was adequate. I recommend taking a boat ride in the morning as there are few people and it is easier to spot the animals.

martha blake

Our family did the white water rafting. Our guide was well experienced and made us feel very safe. It was a fabulous afternoon going down the Snake River.

David Acord

Friendly staff, good prices, very professional and smooth. Would definitely go with B-E again.

Troy Nagao

This was a great experience for my family in Jackson hole. We started with the morning scenic float. That was a leisurely float down the river with a great guide named Zach who was knowledgeable about the wildlife and features along the river. The second part of the day was the white water river rafting. That was fun and great for my son and daughter aged 10 and 12. They loved it so much and water up go again! Lol. Our second guide Jordan was great as well and kept my son engaged the whole time. An astounding feat in itself! Highly recommended for families!

Rakshitha Bhat

It was a nice experience. We were fortunate to have Tom as our guide. He kept sharing his rafting adventures throughout the 8 mile ride which made it more fun and lively. Would recommend this for first time rafters. Not too stressful. Class three rafting. This experience made me want to try out a class four or class five rafting.

Bernie Dishler

It's great to see a company that has been around a while maintain its standards. In 1986 we took our children on a Snake River white water rafting trip. This year we returned with our grandson, and of course booked Barker-Ewing again. We were not disappointed! The day before our trip I met people who had been with another company the day before. The weather was unseasonably cold and they froze. B-E had wetsuits for us and the cold was not an issue for us.

W R

Wow, amazing trip today. The staff is awesome. Our captain "Tom" aka the guide of our boat was a pro on the river and very experienced

Charlie Darney

Keegan was awesome! Had such a blast, he gave us a great ride!

Betty Braitling

My husband and I were on a three week road trip out west. We are in our 70's and didn't want to try the rafting. We did the float trip which was perfect for us. Everyone that worked there was so friendly and we were quite comfortable the whole time. Scenery was exceptional, we saw an eagle red tail hawk and a egret. We also saw an osprey catch a fish which was quite entertaining. Would love to do again, thanks everyone! Betty Braitling

K. Martin

Great time on the Snake River. Austin was our guide and did a great job.

robert pfaff

Staff was Great, Tom our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us feeling confident through the trip! Definitely would do it again!

Ken Ewing

Had a fantastic whitewater trip diwn the Snake River in Jackson, Wyoming! It was the first time to go rafting for two of our group and they absolutely loved it. Our guide was great and showed us a fabulous time!

Chris B.

Great 1st experience White water rafting for me. Our guide Kegan was awesome. I will absolutely be back for round two.

Brigham Baker

Good outfit well run. Jordan and Kyle were great guides

Jen Molitor

Amazing trip! Chett was the best guide! He was friendly and made sure we were all safe, while having a blast. Highly recommend Barker-Ewing Whitewater! We had a group of 36 teachers and everyone had a wonderful time. Lots of newbies and they made it through without any problems. We were sad when the trip was over so they created quite a few new whitewater rafting fans. :)

Dan Rush

Awesome adventure & must do if you are coming to Jackson during the summer! Ask for Will as your guide, he totally made the trip!!! He’s the best!

mike boyd

We took the scenic float trip. Very quiet and peaceful. Lots of photo ops.

leslee barrera

We had a great experience and the guide was funny and very knowledgeable.

Alex Schesser

Not the most dangerous rafting trip but, Elliot, our guide, made it very enjoyable with humor and games where you just end up falling in the river no matter what. Good times.

Morgan Peterson

The company overall was fantastic, but the reason why I am giving three stars is because the guide acted like he hated his job! I feel like he needs to move onto another career choice.

A Widom

This was our third trip down the Snake River and boy it was amazing. Keegan, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and knew exactly how to hit the rapids for the most bang for your buck. He also kept it fun between our two group boats. Thank you sir we had a great time!

Wes Nemec

We did the morning run of the white water rafting trip and had a great time. Check in was easy, they have wetsuit jackets, bibs, leggings, shoes, etc. available, $5 gets you two pieces and you can add on for a bit more, highly recommended as the water was very cold even in August. Definitely bring a change of dry clothes and towel, and maybe a snack for the bus ride back. Otherwise you'll be wet for the ride back, which would be pretty harsh. River ride was fun, good mix of relaxing and floating with splashing and rapids. Billy was our guide and did a great job, pointed out wildlife like eagles and osprey. Total raft trip was about an hour and a half. Recommend it.

Patty Goodwin

It was a great trip, I had never done the Snake River before. Our guide was very knowledgeable Tom.. fun afternoon today.

Gary Adams

Great trip - very experienced guide

Travis Dunlap

We had a great experience with Barker-Ewing Whitewater last week on vacation! Wiggy was our guide and she is fantastic! She's a lot of fun and shared great stories as we traveled down the Snake River. The staff assisting us in the office were so helpful and helpfulThis was our favorite whitewater rafting trip we've done! Highly recommend this company and to do this while on vacation in the Jackson Hole area! We do recommend using the wet suit jackets & shoes!

Colleen DiFiore

If you have a choice of guides, pick Zack! Fun, exciting trip thanks to his expertise and knowledge of both rafting and his surroundings. We felt safe and comfortable rafting, while enjoying learning about the River and local Wildlife! There were kids on board and Zack was awesome with them as well:)The staff in the office were also wonderful/helpful. Thank-you from Connecticut! Highly recommend Barker-Ewing Whitewater!

felicia wilde

Brook our guide was awsome.She made me feel safe as well as made us laugh. Great company we will be back...

Linda Williams

The staff is super accommodating. The wet suits keep you warm even in cold water. The 8 person rafts are the way to go. Adrenaline rush...Barker Ewing is the company in Jackson.

chris bernardo

Had an awsome time!! Our guide was fantastic! Saw Otters, Osprey and Bald Eagles.

Joshua Graham

We had so much fun. Took two boats out. Loved it.

Pamela Prue

Mac is the best guide!! Very friendly, fun, knowledgable and safe! Make sure to request him

Bodtke PhD

Great way to spend a few hours taking in the Snake River. Kevin, our river guide, is highly recommended. Def recommend opting for a small raft - 8 people - if you truly want to feel like you're part of the experience. The larger rafts are for those that simply want to sit and float along and offer the ability to remain pretty dry...not in the small rafts, especially up front. Still very safe way to hit the Class IIIs on the Snake.

Kortnie Kent

Our family experienced the whitewater rafting with Will as our guide! Fantastic guide, great scenery and helpful staff! We will be back again!

Bill Sapp

Great time

Ariel Goldreer

Great expirience, Austin our guide was superb

Michael Lovett

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuart Stackelhouse

We thoroughly checked out all the white water rafting Outfitters and decided to go with Barker-Ewing. We were not disappointed at all. Great crew. Nice facilities. Knowledgeable staff. Kegan and Alex were the best guides. We will definitely be back. Thank you all for the great experience.

Ryan Mueller

We did the scenic float lunch and white water combo. All the staff were super friendly and lunch was great. White water rafting with Rosalyn amazing; tea cupping, riding the bull, and getting soaked. Highly recommend!

Michael L

Hat mir des öfteren den Tag versüßt :)

Ame Matuza

Even though it poured on us all morning during the pre-breakfast float down the river, our party of 10 ranging in age from 6 to 44 had a BALL on the river with our guide Hillary. The breakfast was delicious and fortunately, by the time that the rafting portion of our trip began, the rain had stopped and we were able to try to only stay dry from the river and not from mother nature! The personnel were friendly from reservation to disembarkment back at our condos in Teton Village (company sent a van for us due to size which was very convenient). Very professional and fun - one our trip highlights!

Ted Tollefson

The white water rafting was really fun. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Will, our guide, was very fun, engaging and great at getting us through the rapids. The whole trip was very well run.

Brian Webb

Boring. Don't do any scenic trip that does not start north of the Tetons.

void walker117

It was a lot of fun. The gides are nice and depending on time of year the water can be cold but wetsuits can be proveded. There is a lot of wildlife. Its very safe a 5 year old can do it. Im planing on going back sometime.

allen butler

Profesional guides, a great day spent on the Snake river.

Paul Kopplow

Great adventure, awesome guide

Jenna Bailey

This was my second white water rafting experience and it was a blast. Everyone was extremely nice and the guides were awesome. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting

Melinda Ledbetter

What a great way to spend a Sunday! I was fortunate enough to schedule a breakfast combo trip in late August and it was AWESOME!! I was part of the Cycle Greater Yellowstone ride and was having difficulty arranging transportation from the campsite of the CGY to the Barker-Ewing office. The staff was incredible in helping me work out those major issues starting several weeks prior to my trip. Our guide, Sprat, was entertaining, knowledgeable about the local wildlife, and relayed a sense of confidence that put us all at ease. Loved the breakfast stopover....a nice little hike up to a campfire with a delicious hot breakfast waiting for us. The last half of the trip rocked.....great rapids! Overall this was well worth it. The price was reasonable, the staff was stellar, the organization of the trip was well thought out...can't think of one thing I would change or do different. Thanks Barker-Ewing for a great trip!

Sable Barnes

The best part of our ride was when our guide flipped out of the boat. I think they got a photo too.

Kailey Cheng

Great first experience. Our guide Zach was great.

Joshua Kujawa

This is a great company. The service is amazing and the guides are the best. Flat out, if you take a rafting trip you will have the time of your life. These guys are a 6 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended.

Jacoba Taylor

Beautiful tours from capable and knowledgeable guides that are interested in the individual guests. We went on a scenic ride in the morning with Dan where we saw the gorgeous Tetons. Johnny the bus driver was efficient and fun as well. In the afternoon we were driven by Christy through gorgeous mountains with just a bit of traffic. We were then led by Kevin on a thrilling ride through the rapids. I always felt that I was safe in the hands of the guides, but they were also very friendly and talkative. Overall a fantastic experience for any visitor to the Jackson Hole region.

Jan Finn

The staff and guide (Tom) were super nice and helpful. We had a great time running an 8 mile stretch of the Snake River with several class 2 and a class 3 rapids. When we went down, the water level was at about 6k cfps (down from 15k cfps) in June. The guide, Tom, said he likes it best with 8-10k cfps. This trip was with 12 and 15 year old kids who also loved it.

Angie McKie

Awesome day of rafting! Would recommend to anyone! We saw an Eagle and beautiful scenery! Make sure you swim in the river! Request Wiggy as a guide! She was great!

Logan Nordness

Fun trip. Our guide(Austin)was AMAZING. Overall a great time.

Adrian Croke

Barker Ewing is fantastic! They are professional and well-organized. Their guides are safe, patient, knowledgeable, highly-skilled, and great with kids. They provide a safe, fun adventure - I couldn't recommend them enough.

Our guide, Will, and the whole staff was awesome! Very reasonably priced and a great time
