What To Expect

Dave Hansen Whitewater and Scenic River Trips

We are pretty confident that this 8-mile stretch of whitewater has the highest concentration of laughter in the state of Wyoming. With class II and III rapids such as The Lunch counter and The Big Kahuna, and even an underwater waterfall aptly named Champagne, this river will thrill and delight you. And with inspiring limestone cliffs, hills of Lodge pole Pine, and the mountain peak horizon of the Grey’s National Forest, the scenery will surely impress you. This is the moment in your vacation that you’ll write home to grandma about—that is, if she’s not already in the boat with you!

We had a great whitewater rafting excursion with Dave Hansen Whitewater. It was our second whitewater rafting experience and the first in Class II and III rapids. It was a blast and we felt safe! Our guide Ben was great! He was knowledgeable (as were all staff members we met), gave clear instructions and was a lot of fun! Rafts, life jackets and rafts were in good condition. A great time for all ages just need to be mobile. We would absolutely go with this Dave Hansen Whitewater again and highly recommend.

If you are on the fence just do it! I am a first timer and was really questioning my decision then once I got there I realized everyone else was scared too. After meeting the staff and Delaney our team leader I felt so comfortable and I knew just to trust her and right away I started enjoying my experience. We saw bald eagles and the scenery was just amazing! I am so glad I decided to do it and I will forever cherish my experience.

An awesome experience. Vlad, our guide, was knowledgeable and wonderful. Highly recommend! We got to "surf" in a way. Enjoy
