What a treasure of a place. The experience was incredible and exciting from the start with a cable car crossing over the Salmon river to the glamping in safari tents. The family meals were delicious and nutritious and a nice way to engage with our own family, the awesome folks at SRAC, and the other campers and family visitors. And there are so many fun adventures available on site, hiking, ducky and rafting trips that Tommy and Polly are able to facilitate with ease. The scenery is gorgeous, glad we were able to spend some family time at SRAC.
Best day ever!!!! Wonderful time w/Kelly. We were his first official trip on the River after getting his license/certification. When this young man tells you he has been in/on the River his entire life, he’s not joking!!!! Such knowledge and passion. Can’t wait for our next trip. Amazing family & staff, 10/10. Thank you again Shaun, Shannon, Karen & Arlo
My family and I had the pleasure of going on a multi day raft trip with Salmon River Adventure Company and had an amazing time! They went the extra mile to make sure our family was safe, well fed, and had an enjoyable experience on an amazing river!We couldn't recommend them more!
We had an unforgettable, incredible time with Salmon River Adventure Company! The camp is beautiful and was a very comfortable place to spend the night before our trip, and our time on the river was so much fun. I felt completely safe and taken care of the entire time, despite not having much rafting experience. I appreciated the pacing of each day, and the great balance of river time and camp time, with daily moments of intensity on the water. The meals were delicious and plentiful, and the times camping on the beaches were as much fun as going down the river during the day. Polly and Tommy are wonderful guides and hosts, as well as the other Hillekes, Leah, and Grace. They made the experience accessible and enjoyable for a novice like me, as well as pro kayakers in our group. I highly recommend the Salmon River Adventure Company, and I will certainly be back soon!
We had a phenomenal experience with Salmon River Adventures! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Olivia, Stewart, and PawPaw (Bill) were outstanding and made our trip unforgettable. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendliness ensured that every moment was enjoyable and exciting.If you’re looking for an incredible adventure, I highly suggest a tour with Salmon River Adventures. You won’t be disappointed!
Incredible experience! Our guides, Stewart and Olivia, were knowledgeable and friendly. The Salmon River was beautiful, and riding the rapids was so much fun. Highly recommend!
I took the Intermediate Kayaking Course with Salmon River Adventure Company and absolutely loved it. I gained a lot of skill as a kayaker and had a lot of fun along they way. I cannot recommend this place enough!
I recently had the pleasure of rafting with Salmon River Adventure Company, and it was an unforgettable experience for me and my family. From start to finish, the adventure was filled with excitement, laughter, and memorable moments.Stew and Olivia, the guides, were exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and always prioritizing our safety while ensuring we had a blast. They expertly navigated us through the rapids, providing interesting insights about the local area and wildlife along the way.If you're looking for a fantastic rafting experience with top-notch guides and a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere, I highly recommend Salmon River!

Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendliness ensured that every moment was enjoyable and exciting.If you’re looking for an incredible adventure, I highly suggest a tour with Salmon River Adventure company. You won’t be disappointed!
Such a fun trip!!! Olivia, Stewart and Paw Paw were all such amazing hosts. The rapids were really fun and the other guests were great. I loved getting to jump in the river in between rapids. We will definitely take another trip with them next time we’re in Salmon!
Such a BLAST! This was my first time river rafting, and I might have been a little nervous...but the team & especially our guide Grace made me feel comfortable & we had the best time!
Absolutely Amazing people and top notch company! Not only are they world class river runners but the entire outfit brings you in to feel like you’re at home. From Amazing cooking and accommodations to all the great activities in & around camp to phenomenal white water, SRAC knocks it out of the park !!
Great place with amazing people! Affordable, clean, and comfortable glamping with fantastic river views. Great place for pre and post river trips for salmon river rafters. Hot showers and excellent food!
Wow. We had a great time rafting with Salmon River Adventure Company. Polly was really helpful on the phone. Stewart and Gracie were incredibly efficient and friendly during our raft adventure. They even took a bunch of professional pictures. We would love to go on another raft adventure with them. We wished we would have stayed at the camp in the beautiful glamping tents they also have available right on the Salmon River.
Such a great experience! It was my girlfriend’s first time rafting and I have a little experience but this was by far the best. The river was beautiful and we were lucky enough to see big horn sheep and 3 bald eagles(apparently not lucky at all because this is an everyday thing). Rapids were epic! Class 3 with a little bonus 3+. Great intro to rafting with an extra yeeehaw. Our guide Stu was great. As a guide he seemed super confident and he made the trip more enjoyable with good convo during the calm water. Grace was our shuttle driver / photo gal. She was all smiles and had the best attitude hard not to be stoked with here there. Daniel was out front running safety yak doing tricks and keeping us entertained as well. Might have sold us on the kayak package….We ended up booking the lodging option which was not what we expected….. IN A GOOD WAY :). You take a cable car over the river to where you sleep in a nice glamping style tent. Super simple, nothing fancy but clean, comfortable, and on a beautiful piece of land right on the river. Worth the price and some.No food allowed in tents to help with critters. However they have a camp kitchen and NiNi and the guides / volunteers made us an amazing dinner/breakfast. It was a full family run business. Kids guiding the boats/ kayaks. Parents running the show. Grandparents cooking the food and making everyone feel welcome. Such a special place.
Had a great time out on the river! Very good instruction and safety measures were taken. We did a 1/2 day experience and it was a blast but would totally be interested in doing a full day or overnight camping with SRAC.
Our half day trip with Salmon River Adventure Company was so much fun! Everyone was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The trip was safe and exhilarating. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a fun day rafting experience close to Salmon! Would love to go again!
My son fully enjoyed his experience with Salmon River Adventures. His passion for kayaking was bolstered greatly. SRAC is an amazing company, and if you are looking to learn how to kayak, this is the place!
Phenomenal experience, highly highly recommend! We are a large family with 3 small kids and we had the most amazing time. Our crew was thoughtful, social, and incredibly competent. The food was delicious, my kids had the best time diving from the cliffs, catching every rapid they asked for, and swimming safely in the river while watched over by our two lovely guides, Luke and Grace. It's a beautiful remote part of the river, lots of wild animals, and spectacular Idahoan rainbows every single night.
We were lucky enough to send our 2 kids down the Main Salmon with Salmon River Adventures and they couldn't be more stoked! Easy communication pre trip, super accommodating for our needs and we could not be happier. On the water the kids had an incredible time and LOVED the food.I operate a rafting company on a nearby river and can attest that these folks know what they are doing, love what they are doing, and are passionate about sharing it with the world.Everyone needs to do a multi-day rafting or kayaking trip once in their lives, and you should do it with the Hilleke Fam!
Fabulous day trip on the Salmon River, with Luke and Kerry as our guides. Safety and fun were paramount! We were a diverse group from 9 to 73 year olds, and everyone had a blast. Lots of Bald Eagles were spotted along the way. Looking forward to going with them again....and again!
What a great adventure! A perfect getaway for my kids to run around and experience whitewater for the first time. Thanks to Jason and Kassy for hosting a wonderful experience and thanks to the Hillekes for making this place happen. We’ll be back soon!
My two friends and I had a phenomenal three days on the river in mid July with guides Luke and Kelly. We felt like we had the river to ourselves and enjoyed using standup paddle boards in between the rapids areas on the river. Our campsites were perfect as were the foods prepared by the guides. We loved the cliff jumping and side hikes as well as time on the river. We would definitely recommend this company to others looking for a Salmon River adventure!
Luke was our guide and we had a blast! SRAC is the only rafting company in the Salmon-North Fork area that we could find that offers half-day trips. Wear quick-dry pants, long sleeve quick-dry shirt, and floppy hat under your helmet--and/or lots of sunscreen!
My family and I had a wonderful visit to the Salmon River Adventure Company. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, the sounds of the river float around the pine shaded camp. The tents and outbuildings are clean and well kept. We all slept peacefully in a family size tent that hosted a queen and two sets of bunk beds. The accommodations offer the perfect combination of a night outdoors and the comfort of a bed. Not to mention, a clear nights display of stars ,far from the light pollution of town.The food is cooked on site. The bathrooms and buildings are clean and well-maintained. The camp is orderly and well organized. The staff is committed to running the day today as seamlessly as possible. They are knowledgeable, helpful, and very nice. There is a peacefulness about the place. It is the perfect reset vacation. Anyone looking for a wilderness getaway along the Salmon should checkout this amazing camp.
Beautiful spot on the river for some awesome glamping. Tommy and Polly are welcoming, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. We stayed here at the tail end of a trip down the middle fork and it was the perfect transition back into the real world. Thank you!
I recently took a 3 day Learn to Row & Rig course with SRAC and I cannot say enough good things! Polly and her crew were top notch and did everything to make me feel welcome and that all my needs were covered. The food and lodging were great. It’s in a beautiful setting right on the river. My rowing instructor Diana was fantastic. She is an excellent instructor with a wealth of experience, practical knowledge, and a great teaching style. She really helped me develop skills and gain confidence rowing. I made a lot of progress in a short time and had fun the entire time! These folks are a delightful group of talented, skilled and wonderful people!
SRAC, Salmon River Adventure Company, is the place to go to experience the North Fork of the Salmon at its best. The owners and staff really treat you like family. They have a ton of knowledge about whitewater paddling from all over the world and the U.S. and share it with you in a way that seems tailored to your specific interest, whether that’s riding along in a raft, paddling your own inflatable kayak, or learning “combat rolls” in your hard-sided kayak.Their camp straddles a beautiful stretch of the river, with cozy and bright glamping tents with views upstream. For the adventurous, a short hike off the back of the property gives you a panoramic view of the camp and river.The food and accommodations were great, and the owners and staff were friendly and professional. Meals were fun shared experiences where we talked with other guests about our adventures on the river that day. The staff joined in and stuck around to visit with guests and offered suggestions about new places to paddle and skills to learn.Our family of six, ranging from brand new paddlers to experienced rafters and kayakers had a great time. We all learned something new and look forward to coming back often in the years to come. Thank you, SRAC for a vacation that was both exciting and relaxing for our whole family!
We just stayed a few nights in the new Glamping Tents at the Salmon River Adventure Company. What a great experience. We are used to more rugged camping but it was really nice to sleep in a real bed and have food cooked for us while still getting to be out side along the river. The staff is amazing there and they took great care of us. We will be back.
Tommy & Polly are super hosts. Their whole crew knocked it out of the park. It is a true glamping experience, with styled out canvas tents that all have a view. River time, hiking time and eating time are all things to look forward to. Thanks SRAC!
What an incredible experience! The whole crew made sure my family felt safe, adventurerous and well fed! We will be coming back for more next year as it really brought our family close together!
There was 4 of us on our half day rafting trip down river and absolutely loved it. The views were spectacular and the rapids were just right. Luke and Kassy are so nice and knowledgeable. We will definitely re- book and recommend to all our friends/ family. Thank you so much. Tony/ Tammy Barnes.
We had a great family trip with SRA last summer, even in the face of difficult circumstances with the Moose fire. The folks at SRA went above and beyond to make the trip a success. Strongly recommend.
We love this camp. My kids had an absolute blast and an adventure they will never forget. This place is a treasure, a true Wild West experience, and a dream in the making. It’s camp with kayaking as the activity. The setup is perfect for basically all levels. Beginners can learn in deep, clear, class 2 rapids. The water is not that cold in July. More advanced boaters will have a blast playing and working on tricks in Idaho class 3 and 4. Kids that are already running class 5 rapids and want to go to Keeners will have just as much fun here and maybe more. The options are limitless.My daughter Lucy was worried she’d be the only girl but it ended up being about half and half and she can’t wait to return. We dropped the kids off and explored the surrounding area. A lifetime of adventure surrounds this place. Hot springs, adventurous mountain bike rides, kayaking, backpacking, you name it.Sign up early and plan a trip. I’m a big believer in low expectations so my advice is to not talk it up too much to your kids. Get the ball rolling and let it be what it is.I can’t say enough. We are full of gratitude for the bold dreams and hard work of the Hilleke family, the heartfelt dedication from the staff, and also the heroic efforts of the firefighters to spare this place as the Moose fire burned through.Thank you! And we we wish you the best!Sam
Our daughter had a wonderful time and couldn’t stop talking about all the staff and campers. She left kayak camp feeling confident in her ability to wet exit and read water. She didn’t get her roll but in listening to her process the experience, it’s clear her instructors and staff were supportive, knowledgeable and fun! She/we can’t wait for next summer. As soon as she got in the car, she was talking about the two week option.
The crew at Salmon River Adventure Co were amazing, kind and knew their stuff. My children went for a weeklong summer camp and had a blast. We will be back for certain. It’s a perfect little spot along the river -pastoral and pristine. Our hosts Polly and Tommy were welcoming kind and oh so generous. Deepest gratitude for a wonderful week on the river. see you next season.
My 15-year-old son finally asked to learn how to paddle. Rather than sacrifice him to the river gods, like the well-meaning friends who taught me 30 years ago, we decided learning from experts was the way to go. The combination of delicious food, non-stop games/activities for the kids (when they're not in the river) and a stellar location made for an ideal week off-the-grid. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. Our trip was truncated due to injury and a forest fire but neither did anything to take away from the experience. My son has the caught the bug and made clear his intention to be back next summer for more. I'm fully onboard.
Can't recommend Salmon River Adventure Company highly enough. Had an amazing whitewater raft trip on the lower river the first day and decided on a full-day inflatable kayak trip the second. Polly and Tommy are outstanding hosts and our guides (David, Karley, and Allie) were fantastic. Will definitely be returning!
Amazing experience! Lot of fun! Every moment of the experience was memorable and enjoyable, from the time we arrived to check in, throughout the time on the water, and afterwards. The staff were kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. We adored our guide as both a professional and as a person. I cannot speak highly enough about Salmon River Adventure Company! We will definitely do another trip when we return to Salmon.
This was LIFE CHANGING for our 15 year old son. The team at SRAC took excellent care of him. When we dropped him off he had just started rolling in the river after running rivers on rafts for many years. When we picked him up, we had the chance to bring him to the Middle Fork for a week on the river together. We didn't expect him to be ready to kayak the entire stretch, but thanks to the excellent river safety and paddling skills taught by this team at SRAC, our kiddo was confident, smart, and SOLID on the river! He paddled the entire stretch and showed river savvy on waves, scouting rapids, playing, catching essential eddies, and even helping out some swimmers. Thank you for instilling the kind of river ethic that has already changed how his life will turn out. The campground and facilities helped the kids feel and you could feel the way everyone of all levels progressed and connected throughout the week. The incredible instruction, positive guides, and river competence will have us coming back year after year.
The owners, Polly and Tommy, have created something truly magical at the Salmon River Adventure Company. It's a spectacular riverside location on the site of a former Boy Scout camp with all the facilities you need and nothing you don't.I camped for a week with my two kids (ages 12 and 14) who were part of a kid's kayaking camp (Full disclosure, I'm friends with the owners, so I got to camp with them). Both my kids had an incredible time and were paddling class II-III whitewater with confidence by the end of the week. Their guides made their experience so fun, safe, and inspiring that I'm now shopping for two new kayaks.The camping is peaceful, the bathhouse is clean and newly renovated, and the kitchen serves up tasty meals. Most importantly, the staff is amazing, with tons of experience and positive, infectious energy.Whether you're staying for a week and learning to kayak for the first time, or just rafting for a day, I can guarantee that the team at SRAC will provide you and your family with an amazing adventure.
