About This Trip
Unfortunately we are not planning to raft the Verde River this season due to closures.
Experience Arizona’s only federally designated “Wild and Scenic” River on a fabulous 2 day adventure with 5 star camping! The Verde River rafting trip offers fun Class II and Class III splashes as you paddle through the beautiful and serene surroundings. The Verde River AZ rafting season is often quite short and in the early spring, 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!
- Ages 12+
Per Person
$565
Inflatable Kayaks

This could be you; get ready for a great workout as you navigate your own kayak along the Verde River!

We had a blast on our trip up La Plata Canyon to Kennebec Pass. Our guide Alex was hilarious, knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. He was very accommodating, knew all the best places to stop, and was an expert photographer. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jude MansellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul took us on an amazing adventure up the La Plata canyon. Paul's commentary was top notch. The scenery was stunning & the wildflowers were absolutely beautiful. We even got to 'rescue" some stranded travelers.

The trip was fantasticPosted on Google Tahni LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family had a blast tubing. Jack was very helpful and informative. He even gave us $4 for the trolley (we didn't end up needing it).Posted on Google Tiffany HagenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our trip down the Animas River with Sammy K. as our guide. The water is low so we couldn't avoid getting stuck, but she navigated us so it didn't happen too much.Posted on Google Anna NickensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a blast!! Anthony was our guide and he was awesome. He was patient with us, explained everything well, and made sure we were all taking in the beauty around us too. We highly recommend Mild to Wild and will be back!!
