  Our tour guide Nate was awesome!! He was very knowledgeable and had a lot of insight about the river. Our group did the scenic river float and it was a great opportunity to take in the beautiful nature while getting to know each other and have some networking time. It's a GREAT addition to a conference!

  Nate was our guide on the Snake River rafting trip with Mad River boat trips. We had 6 people in a boat with him, and we all had a blast. I have done a fair amount of rafting between the Colorado River and out in West Virginia, and this was one of the better groups I have been out with. They feed you a phenomenal meal on the trip as well.

  Our guide was Fitz, he was very knowledgeable about the trip and other questions we had. We took the 1215 tour so they fed us a tasty sack lunch. We saw 4 moose and 3 bald eagles. It was a 3 hour float trip, very enjoyable and relaxing. I will do it again when I return. Great job guys!

  What an amazing experience! Christian was our guide and he was excellent about keeping us in line (and in the boat) while sharing interesting facts about the river and pointing out wildlife. Mad River did a great job getting us prepared and keeping us informed. Overall just a phenomenal job!

  We had booked a trip for white water rafting in the medium boats on the Snake River and my family including my 9 and 11 year old children were looking forward to the trip. I had called at the time of booking (2 weeks prior) and was told that there was high water and if it stayed at high water, the 11 year old could go (10 year old cutoff age) on the smaller boat but the 9 year old would not be able to go. We were also told that to offset this, we could go to the largest boat for white water rafting that they had. We were told to go ahead and book the medium size boat and we could change it as we got closer. It was never stated that they could not go at all.
  
  At exactly 5:08 pm the night before the trip, a message was left on my phone stating that my children were underage for this trip. I called back and was told that with the high water, the age for rafting was now 12 years of age or older. I really appreciate their attention to safety and making sure that nothing untoward happened to my children.
  
  But, it would have been nice to have given us some advanced notice so we could have booked some other excursion. Did they not know that it was going to be high water 2-3 days before they called me? With no advanced notice and after talking with other tour companies (wildlife, etc) who were booked, we were unable to schedule anything for the next day. They also tried to push a scenic raft trip on us when they called to cancel which makes the timing of their call look like they were trying to make a buck since we could not do the white water rafting.

  These people are sic! Seriously. They run this killer operation. I've been down the canyon three times with them and love the crew.
  
  Always good comedy, but well informed too.
  
  Worst part? The water is wet and I'm still drying out after three months.

  My husband and I went on a river rafting trip Labor Day weekend for his birthday and it was amazing! I'd never gone river rafting before, so I was a little nervous. The tour guides were so nice and friendly. They explained everything we needed to know and joked with us constantly the whole time on the river. Based on the size of your group, you get paired up with other pairings or small groups for each raft. Obviously you get wet, but they provide gear for you to wear, including a lifejacket, that helps keep you a little drier. We were on the river for a couple hours and had an amazing time! Ryan was our guide and he was great at helping our raft work as a team and have a really fun time. There is a separate company that takes your picture on the biggest rapid, and then you can choose to purchase and download the picture(s) later. I'm so glad we went, I only wish we'd gone earlier in the summer so we could've gone a second time before the cold weather hit.

  Our group had a wonderful experience HOWEVER, we can't find any photos of our group coming down the river. I've writer a couple of times and they've all indicated that was the day that their photographers finished up taking photos for the season. How disappointing. We floated on Monday, the last week of the season. Beautiful weather, a little chilly, but who cares, they were cold anyway. They were on the 12:30pm raft ride. Whatever you can do to find our boat would sure be helpful. In fact, I'd recommend you for a big raise for next year. Have a great holiday. (Halloween)

  My husband and I booked this river rafting trip for August and had a great time. The guide was very knowledgeable about the river and local area. Our trip included lunch 3/4 of the way through the ride on the beach. The food was great. We felt very safe with our guide. The river is not as wild or cold in August as it is in June so if you want a more wild ride go early in the season. We were happy with the more lazy river and only a few wild spots. The company did provide rain jackets to help you stay dry. We would definitely recommend this adventure.

  This was my first ever whitewater rafting experience, and it was wonderful. The view was fantastic and definitely guaranteed to overwhelm anyone. Saw many bald eagles along the way which was pretty cool. Our tour guide Katy is amazing, funny, experienced, and very approachable. Had an awesome time. Be prepared to put in a workout with all the paddling. The only reason why I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think it's a bit on the expensive side (about $80 per person). If they can get it down to around $65, that would be perfect. =D
