Gently shaken, never stirred. Choose small boats on the Snake River for a wild ride with bigger whitewater action. With eight passengers per boat, this raft trip is unforgettable. On a small boat, you can expect to get wet, no matter where you sit in the raft. Grab a paddle and get ready for a whitewater adventure on the Snake River. This raft has 6 paddling positions and 2 non-paddling positions.

Additional Info

Public transportation options are available nearby

Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries

Not recommended for pregnant travelers

Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

Bring a change of dry clothes, a towel, and a sweatshirt on the bus with you. It will be waiting for you at the end of your trip.

Conditions can be variable; you may experience a cold day on the river. (Not to worry, it will still be a lot of fun. You just have to dress appropriately!)

Please wear shoes that can get wet that will not fall off your feet. An old pair of running shoes or water shoes would be your best option. You must wear footwear in the raft, so we do have booties available for rent if you do not have footwear. Sizes run 2 – 15 and can be rented upon arrival for $5.00 per pair.

Please wear synthetic clothing if possible and bring layers. Synthetics are best for the river because they dry faster than cotton. A bathing suit underneath shorts and a t-shirt is fine for a nice, warm, summer day.

Splash gear is complimentary. On a cold day, you’ll want a bathing suit to wear under the wet suit.

Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended.

We have wet suits & wet suit jackets available for rent. Wet suits are $10.00 to rent. Wet suit jackets are $5.00 to rent.

Please note kids must weigh at least 50 pounds or more to go rafting!

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

    Had an amazing time out rafting with Mad River! The small boats were perfect if you haven’t done much rafting but still want to get the feel of good rapids. Our guide Ree was great and made sure we had a fun and safe time out on the river. Would definitely do again next time in Jackson.

  • Great time, would do it again!
