Additional Info

  • Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
  • Please wear shoes that can get wet that will not fall off your feet. An old pair of running shoes or water shoes would be your best option.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Whitewater Rafting Adventure in Jackson Hole – Small Boats?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
