So much fun! Our guide Maggie was awesome! Just make sure to wear something that dries fast or bring extra clothes.
Our family had a great time rafting. Our guide, Fitz, was great! Everyone had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend Mad River Rafting.
Great time on the Snake River! I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Ask for Jeff, the true comedian of the Tetons!
Guide/river/scenery were all great. However, it was a cloudy/windy day and when we checked in, we were told wet suits only needed if we often get cold, so we only got them for the kids. That was bad advice. The 57 degree water temp plus strong wind gusts meant we were all frozen solid halfway through the trip and it was hard to enjoy. Understand Mad River cant control the weather, but they can give clients better advice.
We had the best time with Fitz as our guide. You really feel safe and have fun at the same time. Definitely would recommend to any one
Had a great time traveling down the river. Easy trip for beginners, and Jeff was a wonderful guide. Highly recommend.
We had a blast! Water cold but exhilarating! Jeff our guide was fun and informative. Ride took 30 minutes each way, so time on water was only about 1 hr 20 minutes. Wish it had been longer
From the person helping us with wet suits, Michelle, our bus driver, and Bobby, our guide, everyone was super friendly! Michelle gave us tips about spots on the park and places to eat. Bobby was engaging with all on our raft and gave directions clearly when out on the water. Would recommend this to everyone!!
It was cold but sooooo FUN ! Fitz was fabulous and very knowledgeable about the river and wild life . we saw several bald eagles .
We are early '70s and thought this might be too rough for us. It was not it was amazing We sat in the back and left the youngsters do all the paddling because we both had shoulder replacements. It was absolutely breathtaking trip. It was also our birthday that day! Very professional staff with safety number one. Thank you all We will definitely use this viator again
