About this activity
Join us in the early evening for a whitewater trip and unique dining experience, as we serve you a riverside dinner at Mad River’s exclusive river access only dinner site perched on the river’s edge overlooking the two largest rapids in the canyon. Enjoy the upper whitewater section, then pause for a delicious gourmet meal then hit the water again! Dinner is prepared by a professional chef on the river.
New this season: a professional chef has been added to cook meals for our guests on the river; something between a back yard BBQ and a high end riverside buffet. Our Executive Chef, Ty Hes, prepares a fresh, from scratch and ever changing menu at our riverside dinner site. Chef Ty has over 17 years of professional culinary experience in world class restaurants and is excited to be on the river cooking outdoors. The cuisine hails from the Low Country of Charleston, S.C., where Ty studied his craft. Our Chef brings a bit of the South to the Mountain West and the Snake River using fresh local ingredients. The menu changes from week to week but you can expect gourmet meals like Cornmeal Crusted Catfish with Spicy Red Pepper Remoulade , Curry Crusted Utah Steelhead Trout, Grilled Bavette Steak with Horseradish Cream served with Dutch oven buttermilk biscuits, Currant and farro "ragout", Honey Glazed Heirloom Carrots, Balsamic Grilled Asparagus and Mixed Berry cobbler. You can only get there by raft, so let us show you the finest dining in Jackson Hole.
Experienced guides will share the history of the area as well as information about the incredible local flora and fauna. The Snake River Canyon is rich in geological history and your guide will point out some of the features that make this canyon unique. You may see river otters, osprey and bald eagles on your trip. A lucky few might even catch a glimpse of a mountain goat, a mule deer, an elk or even a grizzly or black bear.
Best Suited For: This trip is best suited for guests looking for a unique experience above and beyond our standard whitewater trip, who are in no hurry and are easily motivated by food.
Boat Type: This trip features our small raft. This raft is an AIRE inflatable, self-bailing, 15'6" raft. This is an 8 man raft. There are 6 paddling positions and 2 non-paddling in this raft.

Reviews
Mad River Rafting company was awesome and professional. Our guide, Delaney, was knowledgeable and made the whitewater rafting excursion information my daughters each have their MBA's, son-in-law is a CPA, and future son-in-law is a contractorengineer. Lots of information was provided, questions asked and answered, and everyone got wet!!! I would strongly recommend Mad RIver company to everyone and enjoy GOD's country! Thank you!
