We went rafting and it was a great trip. The foOd was good and our guide Alex was really nice and lots of fun to be with. I would love to go back again sometime. The CD disc that showed the pictures that were taken of our boat on the rapid piece of cake were awesome and well timed. The pictures where eye opening to how we really looked going on a rapid. Definitely a fun thing and a must to do if your in the mountains at Yankee fork retreat.
Despite water levels being on the seasonally lower side, this trip was very pleasant and a good intro for our pre-teen. Light and easy paddling, with a few minor rapids to hoot and holler on - no doubt more thrills to be had earlier in the season. Everyone at White Cloud was very nice, including our guide (though we would have loved a bit of history, which some other guides include). We chose the lunch included option, which was tasty (tip: our group agreed that you might consider losing the powdered lemonade in favor of unsweetened iced tea). Would recommend!
I believe White Cloud is family owned, and everyone was so nice! Their guides are knowledgable, friendly and hilarious! We went as a couple, but there were mostly families on the trip. The river and scenery are beautiful.
I did a half-day rafting trip with another family (8 guests in total). Great trip, would certainly recommend. Doug, our guide, was terrific. Fun ~4 hours!
5 stars to Jeremy, Cory "Pork Chop" and the White Cloud Rafting Crew! Celebrating our 30th anniversary fly fishing on the Salmon River with guide "Pork Chop" was spectacular! Pork Chop gave us hours more than we expected and was patient and friendly with 2 novices. He was attentive to every detail and went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. His knowledge and skill made us feel totally comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of the trip, especially the gorgeous views and the visit with "Douglas" the impressive bald eagle. We would highly recommend White Cloud and Pork Chop to young and old, novices or experts. Thank you Pork Chop and White Cloud for the adventure of a lifetime!
This is the second year we booked a ducky kayak trip for out of town guests with White Cloud Rafting Adventures. Once again, everyone had a great time. The White Cloud team is young and fun, yet professional. The trip had just the right amount of thrills and adrenaline, but was very manageable and safe. In our opinion, the duckies are more fun than rafts because you are closer to the water. Definitely would recommend including lunch. It was very good and provides a chance to warm up. Good job WCRA.
My family and I went rafting a few days ago and had a great time. We loved our guide, Luke. One of my daughters and I fell out, and the other guides immediately went into rescue mode to help us and Luke out. Thanks to Porkchop and Patrick for pulling us out of the water. My only suggestion would be to add "raise your butt" to the instructions for what to do if you fall out. It's hard to get your nose and toes up if your butt is down.
We invited our employees along with family and friends to join us on a full day whitewater trip which we booked through White Cloud Rafting Adventures in Stanley, Idaho. The service, staff, equipment, transportation, and meal were all first class start to finish. I highly recommend this company if you are looking at a float trip on the Salmon River near Stanley/Sun Valley area.
Excellent guide, great equipment, knowledgable about local history, thank you Jeremy, Liz, and Pork Chop, what a nice trip down the river it was!
