This was a great trip, perfect for beginners! Our guide Joe did a great job making it more interesting for more advanced rafters and keeping things safe for the beginners. Our packed lunch was one of the best I've had on this type of trip. Would definitely recommend!

Looking back it was a perfect first rafting trip. Just enough rapids to get my young boys wanting more without getting scared off. When we showed up it was raining and the lady said “we bail out rain or shine.” They did offer a discount on the wet suits so I outfitted the family. I went without and was glad I did, I run warm though. We had an excellent guide that seemed to squeeze as much fun out of the river as one could. Top-Marks! We are looking forward to booking an overnight trip.

Milt to Wild was a fantastic experience on the 4th of July! We had an incredible guide, too. Scotty G was so knowledgeable about the area as we rafted (history and all the nerdy fun facst, love it) and he was really fun in general (positive, upbeat, engaging, silly, and of course safe. He kept the boat engaged and our crew had such an amazing time! We love you, Scotty G! 10/10 recommend Mild to Wild but 20/10 recommend Scotty G! -Siboean, Jasmine, Roxanne, and Reanna
