About this trip

Ladies, join us in Idaho for an end of summer river rendezvous on our Main Salmon River women’s rafting adventure. Let the river lead the way as you drift into wilderness. Feel the thrill of white water rafting, enjoy opportunities for wildlife viewing, sleep under the stars, and learn about women of the past and present who have made a life on the river. You will paddle in good company, unplug from the world, and connect with nature.


Join us on our Main Salmon River Women’s Rafting Adventure for a 9-day adventure that includes 5.5-unforgettable days rafting 80 miles of the scenic Main Salmon River. This adventure combines exciting class III+ whitewater rafting with slower opportunities to enjoy the scenery of towering granite canyons, swimming in calm clear water from the shores of sandy white sand beaches, a soak in hot springs, short shore excursions, and chances to spot wildlife like birds, bighorn sheep, eagles, and bears.


The Salmon River canyon is a remote, unique place with a lot of history, with many of the famous settlers being women. Your expert rafting guides will break up your time on the water with guided shore excursions to prehistorical sites with pictographs, and visits to homesteads to help connect you with the human story of the river, and the notable women of the Great Frontier. 


The adventure begins in Boise with an overnight at an airport area hotel to allow flexible arrival times. The following morning, participants will take a 50 minute charter flight in a prop plane over Idaho’s wilderness and touch down in town of Salmon, Idaho. In Salmon, we will continue to get to know each other, meet our river guides, and explore some of the historical spots of the cute mountain town. After a night at a hotel, we will embark on an adventure on the Main Salmon River passing through the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. There will be five days of camping. The take out is in Riggins, we will overnight in McCall on day 8. On the final morning, A 2-hour group ground transfer will return participants to Boise for afternoon flights.


The Main Salmon River is a perfect place to bring together women of all ages and backgrounds for a multi day rafting trip. Participants can be experienced rafters or newcomers who make this their introductory dip to test the waters.

East Greenland is my favorite adventure so far! I will definitely sign up for this trip again. The adventure includes pristine mountains, glaciers, fjords, and remote Inuit villages. This trip should be on every nature lovers bucket list. We experienced spectacular weather making all of the activities enjoyable. Worth every penny!

I just returned from a spectacular Green Edventures Iceland Mindfulness & Multi-Sport Women’s trip in June/July. This was my ninth trip with Green Edventures ... and it did not disappoint! Our trip leader, Emily, was wonderful as was our local guide/driver, Thora. Both are caring, personable and fun and do their best to make it a great trip for everyone! I just can’t say enough about the great itinerary. Iceland has so much to offer and this trip had a nice variety of things we did and places we saw including: many beautiful waterfalls, horseback riding, kayaking, hot springs/pools & cold plunges, churches, hiking trails, morning yoga, seals, puffins, eagles, birds/ducks, volcanic caters, snorkeling the Silfra Fissure, geysirs, Fridheimar Tomato Greenhouse/Lunch, local markets, glaciers, icebergs, Black Beach, basalt columns, sea stacks, Blue Lagoon and ice cream! We were blessed with great weather as well, but were prepared with our rain gear if needed! Our accommodations were all comfortable and unique with everything we needed. Our group was fantastic and there was lots of laughing! It was a perfect get away from everything at home for a short while to recharge and enjoy everything Iceland! I’d highly recommend any Green Edventures trips to anyone. Whether you are a solo traveler or have someone to travel with, this is the perfect solution! I’ve made many new friends on each trip I go on. All the GE trips are well-organized and well-planned. Iceland is a beautiful country!
By Kelly T for Iceland 2025 Women's Mindfulness & Multi Sport Tour on Jul 18, 2025
I had a great time participating in the Iceland Women's Mindfulness and Multisport activity. The other travelers were nice, friendly and easy to get along with. The leader Emily was wonderful, well informed, familiar with the sites we visited and conversant. The guide Thora was best. She was knowledgeable, eager and proud to share her country with us. The itinerary was well thought out and executed. Mornings started with yoga followed by a different activity daily. We saw popular sites, hiked and saw so many waterfalls. Ninety percent of the activities were new to me and I succeeded in them all. We had plenty of access to thermal pools to rest our weary bodies at the end of the day. Accommodations were standard and food was plentiful.
By Tracey B for Iceland 2025 Women's Mindfulness & Multi Sport Tour on Jul 13, 2025
I would highly recommend Green Edventures for this adventure, from superior staff, to well thought out planning. Everything fell in to place nicely. We did the 11 day Northern Curcuit, followed by a Safari with Mantangos Expeditions. I can’t say enough about the passion the crew has for their work, totally enjoyable and Ibwill never forget this adventure. Thank you to all the staff. Momma Zanzibar, aka Terri Cole.

Working with Green Edventures has been an incredible experience. Their Iceland Knitting Tours for women are the perfect blend of culture, creativity, and community. As someone who has seen firsthand how these tours bring women together, it’s clear that the tours are much more than just a knitting experience. They foster deep connections with local artisans, allow participants to engage with Iceland’s beautiful landscapes, and truly embrace the collaborative spirit of knitting. Tara Short and her team make every effort to ensure a sustainable, educational, and enriching journey, leaving every traveler with not only a new skill but also lasting memories. Highly recommended!

I went on an amazing trip with Tara to Baja, Mexico in 2020. This was a dream trip for me being a wildlife lover. It was incredible to be able to swim with whale sharks and sea lions and get up close with gray whales. Camping on the beach was amazing. We had a great group of women and everyone vibed well and all of the tour guides including Tara, Alex and Chabello were so fun, friendly and helpful every step of the way. The food was great at the campsite and at the restaurants we got to try. When our trip plans initially got derailed waiting on a negative Covid test and we had to get a different flight, Tara did everything in her power to accommodate us and make sure we got to enjoy every part of the trip, including setting us up with another whale shark swimming tour after we had missed the initial one with the group, and she spent time waiting for us to finish before leaving for the airport. I definitely recommend Green Edventures, especially the Baja Mexico trip!

I just returned from the Wisconsin Women's Tour and couldn't have asked for a better trip! For me, the amount and type of activity were perfect. Who know there was so much to discover practically in my own backyard?
