We enjoyed a whitewater expedition down the Snake River last August 2009. It was a cloudy and rainy day, so we were offered wetsuits at a very reasonable price...$6 I think. They had every size I've ever heard of and we were fitted quickly. Also, since it was overcast and rainy, we had the River nearly to ourselves. All the... more

I have to say we enjoyed a great guide, wonderful scenery, exciting rafting trip and an excellent dinner. We would definitely do this trip again and recommend it to others. Suitable for really young kids (a boy about 8 rode the front of the raft over some rapids and loved it), teens, young adults and older than 60 as well. more

We had a group of 8, and we got our own boat, and a great guide Jim "Stackhouse". He was very professional and experienced, but more importantly he made it fun for everyone. We paid a little extra for the steak dinner 4PM trip and it was well worth it. The highlight of our trip. more

Recommended to Mad River trips by a hotel, for their safety and guide training programme. Excellent value for money. Changing rooms available. Friendly staff. Great guide on the raft, very informative and entertaining. We went on a larger raft for 16 - fantastic fun. The office recommended wet suits because of the wind chill in the canyon and we were... more

We went on a 13 mile scenic tour- mostly because Mad River sponsors a "Read to Raft" program for local elementary students. Our son read enough minutes to earn a raft trip for a parent and himself. Our trip began at 8:30 AM; it was a cold, foggy day, so the guides had long rain gear for us in addition... more

We had a family reunion in Jackson and decided that we would all (18 of us) go on a boat trip. The Mad River people were very accommodating and helpful. Our guide was professional and knowledgeable and still let us have a lot of fun! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great time on the river. more

Awesome!

My brother and I did the 8-person raft trip. We sat in the front and got completely soaked. Our guide was wonderful. I highly recommend them. more

We have lived in Wyoming for ever and never had gone to Jackson for a white water trip until now. The experience was great we had family join us from Nebraska and Mad River made it possible to go as a group and have the maximum waves possible. It began to snow on us but we were enjoying it so... more

Our first rafting trip with kids (age 10 and 13), and despite the high, early-summer volume, which provided plenty of thrills, our experienced guide of 14 years made the trip very safe. I got to paddle, the kids hung at the front, and we enjoyed hearing stories about the river from our guide. more
