Testimonial

The Gold Standard

"We rented touring kayaks for a full day on Jackson Lake. The boats were current models in perfect condition, the staff helped us plan the perfect route with wildlife viewing spots, and even provided tips on photography angles. Best kayaking day we’ve had anywhere—and we’ve paddled all over the country. "

- Emily & James K., Minneapolis, MN

Service That Stands Out

"We’ve rented kayaks in a lot of places, but Rendezvous stands out. The boats were current models in excellent condition, the staff spent time understanding our skill level and recommending the perfect route, and they even helped us coordinate a shuttle. Made our Jackson Hole paddling trip seamless and memorable. "

- Tom & Sarah B., Denver, CO

Unforgettable Lake Moments

"We’ve kayaked all over, but paddling across String Lake with our kids while the Tetons reflected perfectly in the water—that was something special. Our guide knew exactly where to go for the best views and found us a spot where we watched a moose for 20 minutes. Magical! "

- David & Jennifer L., Boulder, CO

Renewed Experience

"Growing up, I’d canoed a bit but never learned proper technique—just hacking away with brute force. Taking a canoeing course with Rendezvous was a revelation. Learning the J-stroke, understanding trim, discovering how canoes are supposed to move—it transformed something I thought I knew into an entirely new skill. Now I can paddle solo all day without fatigue and actually enjoy it. Wish I’d learned this decades ago! "

Effortless Adventure for Everyone

"Our family took a guided 2-night kayak trip on Jackson Lake and everyone had a great time. The group ranged from age 5 to 70+, with some having no kayaking or camping experience. Our guides adjusted the trip to our ability level. It was wonderful to have all the planning, cooking, and preparation taken care of so we could just enjoy the beautiful Grand Tetons. "

- Dave, Redmond, WA | 2-Night Jackson Lake, July 2025

Expert-Guided Outdoor Experience

"We experienced a 3-day/2-night kayak adventure on Jackson Lake and a scenic float down the Snake River. The RRS team—Aaron, Eric, and Callie—demonstrated exceptional expertise with our group of 11. They provided tailored paddling instruction, insightful natural history interpretation, and supplied all camping and kayaking equipment. The meals were excellent with seamless accommodation of dietary needs. "

Must-Have Experience

"Packrafting completely changed how I think about wilderness travel. Instead of out-and-back hikes, I’m now planning creative loops—hiking in over mountain passes, then paddling out on rivers I’d never otherwise access. The instruction from Rendezvous gave me skills and confidence to execute these adventures safely. It’s opened up an entirely new dimension of exploration in the backcountry. "

- Alex R., Boulder, CO

Incredibly Rewarding

"We wanted to run rivers with our own family rather than just booking commercial trips. The rafting instruction from Rendezvous gave us skills and confidence to safely captain our own raft. Now we do multi-day Snake River trips independently—incredibly empowering and so much more rewarding than being passengers. "

- Mark & Family, Boise, ID

Confidence to Go Further

"I’d been stuck at the intermediate plateau for years—comfortable on Class III but intimidated by anything harder. Two days of advanced coaching from Rendezvous completely changed my paddling. They identified subtle technique issues limiting my progression and provided corrections that immediately improved my boat control and confidence. Now I’m running Class IV rivers I never thought I’d paddle. The difference expert coaching makes is incredible. "
