"I am not a camper in any sense of the word… but to drift along in this fashion… passing sandy beaches and on either side, the sharply creased mountain sides, fragrant with vanilla-scented ponderosa pines, was completely tranquilizing....It was true that the food was delicious, the amount of work expected from us nonexistent, the accommodations almost luxurious, the scenery unbelievable...."
Tama Janowitz - Bon Appetit Magazine
"White water and red wines are the stars of two expeditions... from Idaho's Salmon River Outfitters. Spend days shooting the rapids and nights sampling West Coast vintages with dinner."
Food and Wine Magazine |
SALMON RIVER OUTFITTERS offers a uniquely civilized wilderness experience. Our dedication to fine food, passenger comfort and impeccable service distinguishes us from other outfitters in Idaho and elsewhere.
More than 20 national and international publications (including Travel & Leisure, Gourmet, the New York Times, Bon Appetit, Appellation, Outside, and Wine Enthusiast; see the reviews) have recommended SRO as the ultimate wilderness vacation.
Delicious food is our hallmark. On our river trips you'll enjoy a menu including fresh salmon and hand-cranked ice cream. On our international trips, you'll be treated to varied and unique, fine food of each region.
To maintain our high standards, we conduct just one trip at a time, and as owners, organizers and guides, we are able to pay special attention to every detail.
Shane Newton , owner.
Shane purchased SRO from Steven Shepherd, who formed SRO in 1980 after guiding for the preceding 10 years on rivers throughout the world. The Salmon was his favorite, and in the words of Travel & Leisure magazine, "Salmon River Outfitters offers what just might be the best river-rafting adventure in America."
Our Guides:
Shane Newton, Ted Tuma, Heather Dawnstar, Paul Echohawk, Brandon Maxwell, Dave & Gini vonEssen
These talented and professional guides have been with SRO since the beginning. Their knowledge of the river and its history is extensive, along with interesting backgrounds. The crew includes a professional chef, a high school science teacher, a year-round Idaho hunting and fishing guide, and full-time international guide.
