Great trip for the bachelor party, worth every penny.  Five stars for everything from the shuttle pick up to crushing the rapids.  Guides are very knowledgable, experienced and make it fun. Would highly recommend!

I rafted the Lochsa this past weekend with these guys, and the experience was off-the-chart badass! From amazing guides to an epic riverside lunch (included on our trip) and whitewater that rivals any river in the country, this experience was one for the books.  The whole trip was very well done and organized. Hats off to Zoo Town surfers. We will be back!

Rafting the Lochsa with this crew was better than I could have ever imagined! The crew is badass and a ton of fun. They walk the line of safety and fun perfectly. All the provided gear was in excellent condition and had everything we could ever need. Lunch was amazing and everything was well organized and seamless. 10/10 recommend, don’t pass this opportunity up. Trevor was THE BEST guide!!

Nothing but incredible things to say about our trip to the Lochsa. We were in Trevor’s boat and he made us feel so safe and confident thru some of the biggest water we’ve ever seen!! ZTS has some badass guides and would love to come back next year. This has to be the most magical river in the world. Thank you guys so much 🐉♥️

Absolutely incredible company. They hosted 13 of us and it was such a great experience for everyone. They were super fun, they made sure everyone was safe, and were able to direct our wild group with ease. It was such a fun experience we are going to make this an annual experience. Couldn't recommend more!

A friend and I did a private rafting instruction with Ian and Colin on the Blackfoot. Ian and Colin were patient and knowledgeable instructors and it's amazing how much I learned in one day. And not only that, they were so much fun! I left feeling more competent and confident on the river and knowing how to rig my raft and other gear for safety. Their teaching was accessible, applicable, and memorable and from the put-in to the take-out, I was able to do things I had struggled with before. I'd highly recommend Zoo Town Surfer's private instructions for anyone who wants to feel more confident on the river and learn more about water hydrology and rafting. Thank you Ian and Colin! We can't wait to get back out there with you again!

I went with 7 women veterans who came from all over the country to be together.  For some it was their first time on a river trip. We spent an afternoon on  the Blackfoot River. Zootown Surfers was very responsive, supportive and helpful in planning the trip and in guiding us down the river. We had a great time.
