EPIC! There are not enough adjectives to describe the trip I just experienced. Idaho Wilderness Company staff and guides are top level when it comes to escorting you through the Middle Fork on a river trip. The food, the incredible service by the guides, the scenery and mini excursions make this a bucket list item. Stephen, Tanner, Rowan, Rob, Ruele, Brooks and Joel made this a most memorable trip for me along with the other guests. Steve and Jess make it so easy to make this trip happen. You don’t know what you are missing until you see the Middle Fork on a river trip with IWC.

We visited in 2022 with four college friends. It was all of our 40th birthday so this was a reunion trip. It was honestly the trip of a lifetime and I cannot say enough how much all of the IWC we visited in 2022 with four college friends. It was all of our 40th birthday so this was a reunion trip. It was honestly the trip of a lifetime and I cannot say enough how much the IWC did to create lasting memories. The guides are all incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and hard-working, they go out of their way to show you a really good time and make sure you enjoy your trip! We had so much fun we are all bringing the families back next summer! Cannot wait to float the middle of the salmon with Idaho Wilderness Company again! 10/10
update – we went back again summer of 2025 and took the entire family. Once again, trip of a lifetime with incredible guides and an incredible company. They truly go above and beyond to ensure safety and a good time! 🫶 IWC!

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience down the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Steve, Jess, Ty, Tanner, Steven, Tristan and Dylan are phenomenal people!! Their work ethic, attention to detail and great personalities are hard to put into words. As for the previous review that mentions the "owner yelling and threatening to deflate a raft" - I can say with confidence this is not the full (or likely accurate) story. Steve was awesome on our trip and nothing short of a pleasure to be around. Our safety and having a good experience were his top priorities.

Just got off the river with this fantastic crew, Steve, AJ, Herbert, Ty, Tristan, Tanner, and Spencer. Trip of a lifetime. My wife and I felt safe and taken care for the entire time. The food was super. The tent and sleeping bags were comfortable. Unbelievable respect for the natural environment. I would not hesitate to go on another trip with them.

We have been on several multi-day whitewater trips and these folks ROCK! The food was delicious and plentiful, and each and every guide was helpful and competent. The Middle Fork is on of the top rivers in the country, and Idaho Wilderness is one of the top outfitters. Highly recommended.
