If you want a relaxing day they will take you on a half day paddle on the upper sections of the Snake River and work on basic paddling skills while floating through beautiful mountain scenery. If you are feeling more adventuresome they can extend the day into a full day trip starting out working on our skills on the upper Snake River and progressing down through the Alpine Canyon of the Snake River in the afternoon.
For the folks that really want to learn how to whitewater kayak take a multiple day private or group course.

If you are coming for a lesson with some previous experience be honest with yourself when evaluating your abilities. Paddling skills build on each other; to participate in a River Runner course you should have mastery of the skills listed in the Introduction to Kayaking.
