We had a great time doing the kayak tour. You get a nice pontoon boat ride at first and we got to see some people basejump/parachute from the bridge almost 500 feet up. Next, the kayak tour was about 1.5 miles each way and the river was wonderful. It was so calm it felt like I was kayaking on a calm lake. The falls were beautiful too. Guides (Grace and Avery) were very kind and laid back which made it enjoyable. Our kids enjoyed doing a little swimming in the river too! If you are staying in Twin Falls I would highly recommend not missing this!

Took the Boat and Kayak tour to the Shoshone Falls today. The boat ride was informative and we were able to see some base jumpers in action! Daniel and Grace were out tour guides on the kayaks. We were a small group (total of 4) and these two made the entire trip such a memorable one! From sharing life stories, information about Birds 😁, to just making sure everyone was comfortable and was enjoying themselves. This is what memorable experience are made from! I would recommend it 10 times over if you are in the area.

The boat tour in the canyon was amazing. Very restful and beautiful. Zack could not have been more thoughtful and helpful in the walking portion of the tour with our group. Very grateful for his kindness to one of our party who had a bit of a mobility problem. Logan was an informative and fun boat caption. Both of them made the outing an extraordinary adventure not just a boat ride. Thank you both.

Visited Twin Falls from Boston a week ago. Had an amazing time ziplining and taking a boat cruise to Pillar Falls. Katelyn and Nico made sure the ziplining was both safe and fun for my 15 and 16 year old nieces and 83 year old father. They did an amazing job. Braden gave us a great tour of Pillar Falls and his grandmother (boat captain) was so informative with the history of the Snake River. Amazing experience and employees all around

My family did the pillar falls boat tour and had a fantastic time! Captain Dalton and first mate Evan were fun, informative, and just great to be around. I would highly recommend taking their boat tour to pillar falls!
