Boise River Raft & Tube Rentals

Go early. Crazy busy. Take your own pump, no fill-up station. Get your own floaty. Rental prices are insane. Super fun. We paddled, so it was over in a jiffy. Just float, take your time, relax, and enjoy. So excited to do it again.

Would be nice to be able to reserve online. It's first come first serve basis in person so we had to wait an hour and forty min for a raft

We rented a raft late however we made the pick up time with 30 min to spare. The float was great except for the fact the groundskeeper forced us into the water. Asking frequently what we were waiting on and telling us that we had 5 min to get into the water. They have a pick up time of 8:50 pm and the place to rent closes at 6 but the grounds keeper has to have everyone off the grass by 6:20? The way he approached the conversation was disrespectful and highly suggest supplying your own rafts to avoid the raised prices and harassment.

Money well-spent. Makes the whole raftering experience soooo easy. Ages 2-75 in a 6-man paddle raft.

Very fun float! SUPER organized and exceptionally kind & friendly staff. The float rentals are a little pricey, but they are QUALITY rafts. We parked at Barber ($7) and floated to Ann Morrison park. When we arrived at the second park, there were staff greeting us and helping us collect the floats that we rented, as well as pointing us to the shuttle bus and restrooms. The float on the river took us a little less than 2 hours, but the whole activity was probably about 3 hours. We rented the 2 person kayak and it was perfect! We probably didn’t need both oars. I’m glad we did the kayak instead of the tubes since we brought a cooler. The 4 and 6 person rafts looked fun, too!

If we did it again, we’d park our car at Ann Morrison, take the shuttle up to Barber, and then float down so we could get straight to our car. I learned that parking is free at Ann Morrison, plus, after the float I kind of just wanted to get to our car instead of cramming on the bus. I had a lot more energy at the beginning of the float for sure! Overall, great experience, and would do it again.

*Shoutout to the gal who helped us rent the float and took our payment at Barber. On the receipt it said her name is Leidy. She was so kind and helpful, and made an effort to ask us how our visit to Boise has been. Those small things in customer service go a long way. Thanks!

This is an excellent tube run. Bring your own tube and save$$. Shuttle picks up 6 miles downriver at Ann Richards park and cost a mere $3. Parking is $7. It fills up by noon on weekends but there are some overflow areas when that happens. The first rapid is a 1 ft standing wave but no danger. Floaters themselves were well mannered and not drinking heavily like many other tube floats.

If you haven't done this, you should. Great experience. My family and I have done this at least 10 times in the last two years. The float is approximately 2 hours. From the time I leave my house and get back it's six hours. Usually stop at an all you can eat on the way home. My grandkids just love the river.
