We wanted to do a family trip with kids and grandparents. I was leery that the trip would be slow and uneventful. I was totally wrong. Fortunately, we had heavy rain storms the day before and the water was running awesome. Our guide, Sam Cook, was amazing. He taught us about the river, engaged our daughters, kept us safe, and best of all, showed us an amazing time. Highly recommend mild to wild and especially our guide Sam. Unsure because of the pandemic....don’t be. They took every effort to social distance and sanitize. Spaced apart on the busses, mask required and LOTS of hand sanitizer.

I chose a two hour raft trip because I was going solo and I didn't want my partner to have to wait too long for me. The rafting trip was perfect and so was our guide, Sam. The water is beautiful and it was fairly mild during the end of July. I can't say enough positives about the check in staff, the precautions during Covid 19 and the experience. Thank you Mild to Wild Rafting Adventures!

The economy trip was perfect for what we needed. The water level was a little low so less time on the river was fine. Our guide Brody worked with us great and since it was just the four of us on the raft we got to chat a bit more. We went in the morning and pulled ahead of the rest of the rafts so we even saw a baby deer. Highly recommend this trip and this guide. So fun!!
