Idaho Whitewater Rafting with Hughes River Expeditions

Hughes River Expeditions has been outfitting world-class rafting vacations since 1976. You will find us on some of the West’s most spectacular whitewater rivers: the Snake River through Hells Canyon, Idaho’s famous Middle Fork of the Salmon, the incredible Salmon River Canyon, and eastern Oregon’s beautiful Wallowa and Grande Ronde.

The “Hughes Crew” is what distinguishes Hughes River Expeditions from other outfits. They have exceptional river skills and years of experience. Each is an expert outdoor cook, and their diverse backgrounds and personalities make our multi-generational family rafting vacations memorable and fun for everyone. Trips with Hughes River Expeditions have a casual style, reflecting the best of Western warmth and hospitality. And, always – safety first with Hughes River Expeditions.
