Rendezvous River Sports/J.H. Kayak School

I would give 10 stars if I could. We rented an inflatable kayak for a day from Rendezvous Boat Rental. And it must be said, we have probably never experienced such a good service. All the staff were super friendly and advised us perfectly from the first minute on which section of the river and which boat would suit our ideas best and how to load it into the car. When then in the parking lot our engine no longer started, we would be helped so obligingly, we did not even have to ask. After our river tour was over we had some time and went back to Rendezvous to ask what else we could do with the boat, again they thought of everything we needed for the trip to String lake like the permit and cleaning the boat. We would recommend anyone who would like to rent a boat to use the great service of Rendezvous. Thank you!

Awful experience. We stayed at the Jackson KOA, about 15 minutes south of town on the Snake river. We wanted to tube down the river to our campsite. We asked for guidance on if there were any hour-long trips. The guy (or rather, the kid) at Rendezvous told us to put in at Wilson. That seemed far, but I trusted him. It ended up being a four-hour trip. There were no places to pull out the tubes until shortly before our campsite. One of our friends has low blood sugar and nearly fell unconscious on the trip. When I told the guy at Rendezvous, he laughed and completely didn't care. Terrible experience. Would not recommend to anyone. Go somewhere else. 2024 Update: I'm updating this review based on the owner's response (almost a decade later!) -- the fact that they've held onto this for the last 9 years really says a lot. It doesn't change the trip we had, but is a really positive step.

Kat and the team at RRS are amazing. Not only is there shop the best, well stocked and have everything you need they were able to complete a difficult repair for me. Cannot appreciate RRS and the team enough. I will be back every year. Thank you so much

The staff were super helpful and nice. As a woman I get very intimidated to enter outdoor recreation stores but the guys in there were very kind and helped me figure out what I needed. They did additional research on the item I was purchasing to double check it was what I needed as I wasn’t 100% sure. Would definitely recommend.

We did the 1/2 day kayak on Slide Lake. Gil was our guide and he was great! He gave easy to follow directions on the kayaks and then we were off! He knew a lot about the area and was fun to hang with. We spotted pelicans, osprey and a bald eagle. Highly recommend and ask for Gil if you can!
