Since 1980 ROW Adventures has been guiding Idaho whitewater rafting trips. Peter Grubb, our founder, started the company in California in 1979 and quickly moved operations to Idaho where whitewater rafting was in its infancy. The State of Idaho has more than 3,500 whitewater river miles and ROW Adventures operates rafting trips on more than any other outfitter. ROW guides guests on more than a dozen stretches of whitewater river in Idaho, with multi-day and single day whitewater rafting trips to choose from.

We've grown as a company throughout the years but maintain the same level of service on all of our Idaho whitewater rafting trips. ROW has a trip for nearly every age group and intensity level. If you've never been whitewater rafting, or are an expert, Idaho has a whitewater adventure for you.

The majority of whitewater rivers in Idaho are free-flowing and fed my winter run-off. This means the Idaho whitewater rafting season starts early, typically in mid-May. Yes, the water is cold, but the whitewater action is incredible and ROW provides nearly all of the gear you need to be comfortable. Wetsuits, fleece tops, splash jackets and neoprene booties are provided on most of the early season Idaho whitewater rafting adventures. And, depending on the trip, ROW provides lunch or three meals per day.
