For more than 30 years we have been honored to serve our guests with not only intriguing and exciting whitewater rafting trips down the Colorado River, the Main Salmon River, and the Green River, but to make many friends along the way. Since our inception in 1971, World Wide has been committed to providing the safest, highest-quality river trips available. We operate with the spirit of a "family business." Attention to the smallest details begins long before the rivers start running in the Spring.

Richard Jones founded World Wide River Expeditions in 1971, with operations on the Green River, the Colorado River and the Main Salmon River in Idaho. Over the past 35 years, World Wide has emerged as one of the American West's most experienced and trusted whitewater tour operators. With an exceptional safety record, the company has been a host to thousands of guests from all over the world.

World Wide River Expeditions boasts one of the most experienced management teams in the industry. With over 20 years at World Wide, Steve and Nicki Hazlett operate the company with a distinction that few others can claim: a commitment to, and understanding of, the special needs of families. With five kids of their own, they know first hand the challenges faced when traveling with kids. They take care of every detail so that your vacation is enjoyable and worry free.

Our groups have included two-parent and single-parent families, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, grandparents and grandchildren. Our young travelers have ranged from toddlers to teens. Whatever your situation may be, we have the trip for you.

We take pride in the fact that many of our guests have become friends and return with their families, and others, to raft with us again. Our friendly knowledgeable reservationists, exceptional guides, state of the art equipment, and attention to detail, guarantees the finest rafting experience available.

Nature has helped for millions of years in creating the incredible and sometimes unreal landscapes that we call our "backyard." Just like you would invite friends and family over to your backyard for a BBQ, we invite you, as friends and families, to "Come Play in Our Backyard!"
