About This Trip

Enjoy a beautiful day on the Verde River and experience fun, splashy whitewater, spectacular canyon views & lots of wildlife!
The Verde River is an early spring river with a short season so be sure to call our office to discuss trip options!

Booking Options
Standard Rafts
15 foot self-bailing rafts (up to 10 guests).
We use Oar Boats or Paddle Boats on these trips depending on water levels. Oar Boats, typically used at high water, come with a frame that give the guide more control with oars. With Paddle Boats, typically used at low water, the guide just has a paddle and relies on you to help get through the rapids!
- Ages 4+
Premium Rafts
Experience a smaller guide to guest ratio (up to 6 guests) and a more personalized trip.
Just like the standard option, we use 15 foot self-bailing rafts with Oar or Paddle rig set up depending on water levels. You’ll just have less folks in the boat with you!

Reviews from our Guests
Posted on Lindy EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a GREAT time! Lauren is an AWESOME guide!!! In addition to expert paddling, she pointed out lots of wildlife along the way. Our driver to and from the put in/out location, David, was fantastic too. He was very helpful and fun too. I definitely recommend this company!Posted on Gary HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was one of the best “adventures” we have ever had. The jeep trip up the mountain was breathtaking. The driver/guide was always pointing out things of interest…he was extremely knowledgeable and fun to listen. After the jeep trip we went whiter rafting. Again, just awesome. The “Captain” of our raft knew tons of information about things along the trip. Exciting but never anything dangerous. For the best and exciting opportunity in outdoor adventures you HAVE to go to Mild2Wild!!!Posted on Michael HendricksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an amazing 3 day on the Cataract River in Moab. Jackson, Hayden and Marcus knocked it out the park. The best food everyday. Even made my buddy a birthday cake. Best camp spots, stories and information. Thanks a million and we will definitely be back. See you next year.Posted on elianna garciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. THE best time with Seth and Gavin!!! Such a fun and incredible time. They were super informative about the safety rules yet equally so fun. They care incredibly for your safety and that you’re having the most fun. Such a great place!! Def coming back.Posted on Morgan OberhausTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had so much fun with Avery during our half day kayak tour down the Colorado!

My three daughters and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mild to Wild from start to finish. The young man at the front desk was friendly and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and easy. Our guide, Trey, was exceptional—he connected effortlessly with my kids and made sure the entire trip was fun, engaging, and truly memorable. There was constant laughter and so many smiles throughout the adventure. It’s clear this team goes above and beyond to create a great experience for their guests. I highly recommend Mild to Wild and this rafting trip to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable outing!
