Totally worth it! - My four kids (ages 15-22) were a little hesitant and not knowing what to expect, but our guide Kevin got them comfortable and feeling confident, and we all absolutely loved it! It was a highlight of our trip to the Tetons!

Great trip - Easy sign in and transport to location. Ree was a wonderful guide . Her instructions made the trip easy. My 8 year old stayed in the front of the boat almost the whole time. The smile on her face was priceless.

Mad River is the place to whitewater raft! - The snake river was so much fun to whitewater raft! Our guide Bobby was really cool! Wish we could have spent more time on the river. They were very nice and gave us wetsuits for free because it was a cold day which was much appreciated!

Prepare to be soaked and stoked! - We had a great time white water rafting with our guide Ree (and shout out to bus driver Susan). Ree was warm and friendly and obviously capable with the raft. She clearly explained expectations of the rowers, and it felt safe even when we were getting fully soaked in class 3 rapids. We would definitely choose Mad River tours again!
