Action Whitewater Adventures has been providing our guests with 5-day Main Salmon rafting adventures every summer for the past 63 years!
Action Whitewater Adventures is one of the oldest and most experienced Main Salmon River outfitters in Idaho. Over the past 63 years we have rafted virtually every whitewater river in the West. We have chosen to raft on the Main Salmon River exclusively because we believe it is the best wilderness whitewater river in the United States for a number of reasons.(See below)

Class III-IV Main Salmon Whitewater
On each Main Salmon Rafting trip we have a selection of rafts to choose from. Our large rowing style boats, paddle boats, inflatable kayaks and paddle cats, so every member of the family can choose their own level of activity. You can spend an active day in the paddle boats,duckies (inflatable kayaks) or paddle cat, or just relax and take pictures on the rowing style boat and let the guide do the work for you. Our 5 day Idaho rafting trips are all inclusive and deluxe, we provide all rafting and camping equipment, as well as gourmet meals. In other words, we do all the cooking, all you have to do is sit back and relax. Although you’ll have plenty of time to interact with your family, you’ll also have time to relax without having to worry about your children.
We are a Family Business
Built on a passion for Idaho whitewater rafting and for sharing Main Salmon Rafting with our guests.
Our guests become our friends and our goal is to help our friends make wonderful memories on the Main Salmon River that will last a life time. Come and join us on what we believe is the best wilderness whitewater river in the western United States, the Main Salmon.
We appreciate you for providing our family the vacation of a lifetime! Your experienced staff made us feel welcome and safe at all times. We also like to comment on the fact that we were very nervous about the safety of our children on this trip. I have to say that there was not a time during our adventure that we worried about the kids. All your guides were fantastic with the children. They made sure that life jackets were on at all times, and they were tightened properly. They even made sure the kids had on enough sun screen and water to drink! By the second day, my husband and I were in different boats! Now that is saying something! Relaxing walks are the word of the day.
