Featuring miles upon miles of protected wilderness where little has changed since first appearing on the U.S. map, the Main Salmon River in Idaho offers a rich river experience including free-flowing Class III scenic Idaho whitewater that’s great for any age and experience level. This Idaho rafting adventure includes big sandy beaches perfect for camping and playing, beautiful mountain scenery, abundant wildlife and a natural hot spring. On the Main Salmon River, we run the full gamut of O.A.R.S.’ river vessels so you can experience them all! Riding in an oar boat one day and a wooden dory the next, then challenging the whitewater hands-on in a paddle raft or inflatable kayak, ensures a diverse and exciting Idaho river adventure for each member of your party. Dubbed the “River of No Return” by early prospectors, the Salmon River is a river you’ll want to return to raft, again and again.

  1. Reviewer: K. Mayeda - Vranek located in Studio City, CA USA
    The guides were the best part of the trip. They are knowledgeable in all areas: environmental, political, psychology, children, music, cooking. I enjoyed sitting in each boat learning something new and their take on the river. I loved that all these guides truly loved who they worked for and what they did for a living. It was inspirational! I also enjoyed the beautiful scenery, excellent company and most of all I enjoyed the bonds we stregthened as a family.

    We loved our trip with Oars to Peru and now we only want to do more active vacations. We did like our comfy hotels at the end of the day and the great food but really enjoyed the outdoor aspects. Great Job!
