Fabulous Family Fun - Fabulous! Our hesitate family members even enjoyed the experience! Make sure you have shoes and clothing that are changeable. You will get very wet. Bring a change of clothes and shoes. There are large bathrooms to change once you return on the bus.

Loved it!! - Had a wonderfully fun time on the whitewater adventure with my husband and 2 adult daughters. Pony Boy was our guide, kept it fun and let us all get a try at guiding the raft. Definitely enough rapids to make it exciting, but also calm water to enjoy the views. Highly recommend!

Best Activity Ever! - The entire experience was terrific! If you are in Jackson Hole don’t miss it. Our guide, Ree, was professional, knowledgeable and made the trip exciting. I would be remiss if I didn’t complement the tour operator, Mad River Boat Trips and Viator - both great companies with great teams. They both worked really hard to makes sure this was a highlight of our visit. Next time we visit JH we will be booking another trip with both!

Fun with the crew at Mad River - We had an excellent raft trip with Jeff as our guide! The whole team at Mad River made it a memorable, fun and pleasant experience. We saw wildlife and learned about the history and ecology of the river. Lots of splashing and fun, we highly recommend Mad River as your whitewater rafting tour provider.

Mad River Whitewater Guide is Over-the-Top!!! - The 10:30am group rafting experience was very enjoyable and would do it again without question. Our guide, Alec was exceptional. He took the time to explain more about the river and area and not just whitewater rafting. Definitely a must do when in the area.

Don't think about it, just do it!! - I arrived very nervous but I loved it, after signing the waiver I almost regret it because there it said it was very dangerous, but the truth is that if it is safe and the guide explains how to avoid falling, it is VERY fun and certainly something that if you have to do if you go to jackson

Awesome trip - For starters our 13 year old insisted that we must immediately give 5 stars and would do again. We loved it. Matt our raft guide was funny and knowledgeable. Even saw eagles! We had so much fun. Every staff person we came into contact with was more than helpful! Could not have had a better experience. They answer every question you can think of ahead of time. Experience was worth the price!!
