This was the second trip down the Snake River that we had done during our stay in Jackson. We had a really nice time our first trip, but my son was not able to go because of the water levels. After my first trip though, I felt like it was a trip he could handle. The first outfitter we went... More

We sincerely apologize that your rafting trip did not meet or exceed your expectations. Here at Sands we pride ourselves on our reputation. In the whitewater business it can be extremely hectic and we apologize that you did not feel you received the proper attention regarding fitting your son for his wetsuit. We have full confidence in both our guides... More

We had a great day on the water! The scenic float was enjoyable but the white water section was the most fun. My husband was concerned with the water being low in September and that it might not be exciting. Never fear - there was plenty of whitewater and challenge to thrill us. It was fun! Yes, the water is... More

This was a thrill. Everything that I wanted out of this type of trip. Sands was very organized and buttoned up. Our guide made the trip a real adventure. More

When we booked this trip, we didn't have high expectations since we were in such a touristy area. Boy, were we wrong! The trip was great and made even better due to our guide, Eric. We would recommend this outfit to everyone. They accommodate all ages and have several types of trips available. Sands is the best! More

I took the 8 miles whitewater rafting which was extremely fun and just about the right duration. Lee (the guide) was excellent and very funny and the people on board the 8-seats raft were super nice (I do recommend taking the 8 seats option and not the 14, it’s the same raft they just put more people in). The bus... More

This was a a lovely float trip down the Snake River. It was so relaxing and the river is beautiful. They served a nice box lunch and the employees were great. More

We took the 16-mile float -- 1/2 scenic and 1/2 whitewater with breakfast in the middle. We left at 7 am and were back by 1:30-2 pm. We have 2 teenage children and we took the 8 man boat with 2 other couples. We had a great time, although we did not see much wildlife (only bald eagles and osprey)... More

We did the overnight/scenic/whitewater trip with 16 and 12 year old boys.. First, they would not let us book any day that they didn't already have people scheduled for. Very ridiculous. Then we found out that 17 people went on the night we wanted to go that they wouldn't let us book because nobody was scheduled. They were very insistent... More

I have never seen the owner of a company treat his employees like we witnessed on this trip. Our family was staying at Jackson Lake Lodge and we booked a whitewater trip through the lodge because we thought the scenic float would be to mellow for our kids. We got to the Sands office and the young lady who was... More

I took my two daughters (ages 11 and 8) on the overnight rafting trip. We did the float portion with Billy down to the camp area. It was great, and absolutely beautiful. The camping was a wonderful experience. Brook cooked wonderful food, we all enjoyed sleeping in the awesome teepees, and getting to know others around the campfire at night... More
