Our 4-day trip exceeded our expectations. The guides-Anna, Jackson and Mica- were fun, knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area. The organization and communication of the trip from initial planning to execution was exceptional. The food they prepared was fantastic — fajitas, eggs and bacon, fresh fruit, salads, tortellini, french toast, steak, fresh mashed potatoes! We watch the stars and Jackson literally pointed out so many key constellations. The guides were so talented taking us thru the 30 rapids - safely. Meeting our expectations on the “mild to wild” experience. We’re already talking about the next trip. Thank you Anna, Jackson and Mica.Posted on Google![]()

The 4 day trip was awesome. The operation was very impressive. The team of Anna, Jackson, and Mika really pampered us. We had sunshine and rain. The trip was memorable.Posted on Google![]()

James, Ben and Avery were the BEST guides on our wedding welcome float this past weekend. We had 27 guests on Mild to Wild Rafts, and 15+ private boaters in our group. James handled all logistics seamlessly and professionally - My husband and I couldn't have been more grateful for Mild to Wild for providing such a wonderful and memorable day for our guests! 5 stars all around.Posted on Google![]()

A lovely trip, led by VINCENT, who didn’t let a few raindrops dampen our spirits, but kept us entertained and educated along the way as we paddled through Cat I and II rapidsPosted on Google![]()

Our guide was Darren and was exceptional. The entire tour was enjoyable and as a guide he was very patient with a few of us that had mild disabilities. He was very knowledgeable about the area.
