Plan ahead for your family trip next summer and check out Mad River excursions from trekking through incredible wildlife by day and enjoying fireside dining by night. Choose from whitewater rafting excursions on super-small boats for an intimate big wave adventure, small boats for eight adventurers or the classic eight-mile trip down the Grand Canyon of Snake River.

Beef up your tour with a meal plan and enjoy dinner by the river, prepared by professional chefs. The Mad River packages include a variety of menu options, some including buffet-style dining, cast-iron meals for rustic cookouts and dessert by the river.

 

Peruse the boat size options and varying levels of adventure. From scenic floats to big action trips and classic whitewater rafting experiences, kids and adults of all ages and experience levels head out on the water.

 

Expert guides go along for the ride, assisting passengers and navigating the slow flowing to choppy waters. Children as young as 4–6 years old raft on specific boat tours; just check the site for up-to-date information and age-range specifications.
