Experience Twin Falls Like Never Before: Your Ultimate Guide to Kayaking the Snake River

If you're searching for things to do in Twin Falls, look no further than the heart of the canyon — where epic waterfalls, glassy waters, and unforgettable memories await. At AWOL Adventure Sports, we don’t just rent kayaks — we deliver adventure without limits.

From relaxing paddles to full-on excursions, kayaking in Twin Falls is one of the best ways to experience Idaho’s natural beauty. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned paddler, our team is here to get you out on the water, starting right at Centennial Waterfront Park on Canyon Springs Road.


🌊 Kayaking Twin Falls: What Makes It So Special?

The Snake River Canyon is basically Idaho’s secret paradise. This stretch of the Snake River is calm, scenic, and packed with jaw-dropping sights. We’re talking hidden waterfalls, cliff walls that stretch to the sky, and wildlife that’ll make your phone camera work overtime.

When you kayak from AWOL Adventure Sports at Centennial Park, you can paddle under the Perrine Bridge (yep, that’s the one BASE jumpers launch off year-round), glide past natural springs, and even make your way toward two of the most iconic stops in the canyon: Pillar Falls and Shoshone Falls.


🚣 Kayak to Shoshone Falls — AKA "The Niagara of the West"

You haven’t lived until you’ve done Shoshone Falls kayaking. It’s the kind of experience that turns into a core memory.

Here’s how it works:

  • Start with a scenic boat ride two miles up the Snake to Pillar Falls.

  • Meet your guides, who’ve already portaged your kayak (yep, we do the heavy lifting).

  • Then you paddle another two miles to the base of Shoshone Falls — a 212-foot waterfall that thunders down just feet away from your kayak.

Can we say bucket list?

Whether you call it kayak Shoshone Falls or snake river kayaking, this tour is one of the most unforgettable outdoor experiences you can have in Idaho.


🛶 Local or Just Visiting? We've Got You Covered

Most of our kayak and paddleboard rentals are used by locals who know a good thing when they see it. Rentals range from 2, 4, or 6 hours — so whether you want to squeeze in a paddle before dinner or spend all day on the water, we’ve got you.

And if you're a tourist? This is your chance to see the side of Twin Falls most people never do.


🐍 SUP Board, Kayak, or Just Float the Day Away

Not into kayaking? No worries — we also rent paddle boards, and our scenic boat tours to Pillar Falls are great for anyone who wants the views without the paddling.

The goal is simple: help you experience AWOL — which to us means A Way Of Life and Adventure Without Limits.
