We booked a full day rafting trip with Defiance and it was an amazing experience, I would highly recommend any trip with Defiance, but the full day really allowed us to experience everything! First of all, Demitra was the best guide that we've ever had, I would also highly recommend her for your trip! She did a great job of leading us down the Shoshone rapids and making sure we were all comfortable on the trip. The full day trip included lunch with burgers, hot dogs, chicken, pulled pork, veggie burgers, pasta salad, salad, and drinks. After lunch we got to take out the inflatable kayaks and raft down the rest of the river. Overall we drafted almost 30 miles and were out for about 8 hours. So awesome! The pictures they took were also great!

We had an awesome trip with our guide Ben! We were nervous for our first time rafting but he did a great job of explaining the safety rules and keeping us at ease with jokes. The whole trip was a breeze logistically with parking, getting our gear on, having plenty of restroom breaks before heading out, and drop off and pickup were seamless. 10/10 recommend this company for first timers!

We had a great experience with Defience! They are very organized and safety conscious. They took great pictures and the price for the digital download was reasonably priced.our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We saw 3 bald eagles and several blue herrings along with the stunning scenery made this a very fun trip. My aunt was with us she is 69 and this was her 1st time rafting and she loved it as well!

I can’t recommend Defiance enough.
6 out of 5 stars
The scenery was gorgeous, & the river was awesome, but the best part was the team at Defiance.
Every team member was fun and engaging.
Our guide was Charlotte. She was the perfect guide for our little girls. She met them at their different comfort levels to make sure they had a great time.
Thank you for a perfect first rafting trip for our girls. We all had a blast.

Had a great time with the relaxed river rafting tour we did on 8/26 in the morning. Greg was an awesome guide! You can tell he loves his job, and he was very informative. Anytime he would give us information on something, you could hear the enthusiasm. We are not super adventurous people, so this tour was perfect for us. I highly recommend this company.

Talk about a team of awesome people determined to give their clients an amazing experience!

We decided last minute on July 4 to go rafting and c'mon "Defiance" Rafting...

It was meant to be and our guide Tyler was an absolute Superstar. You can tell her loves what he does.

Thanks for making our day more free!

What a blast! We had so much fun. Our guide Eli was fantastic. Not only did he navigate the river well but he was also extremely informative, conscientious, and fun to be with. Defiance rafting is very well organized. I felt very safe with the equipment and the people. I'm looking forward to my next adventure with them.

Defiance Rafting is a five-star experience for sure. I highly recommend the full-day trip as we did 8 miles rafting in exciting rapids, was served a delicious lunch riverside, and then did another 8 miles in their inflatable kayaks! No worries on the kayaking as the river current is fast and paddling is only needed occasionally! Our guides (Scuba Steve & Tucker) were superstars and made the experience perfect. While there are many companies to choose from in the area, Defiance is the ONE!
