This is our 6th rafting trip with Mild to Wild and we have been using them since our children were 8 years old. They are now 21 and we have never considered going with any company but Mild to Wild. They are professional, organized, care about the people who come to ride with them. The guides are always courteous and fun. This time we had Brody and we had a great time with him. He was tuned into our group and knew we wanted to have fun and adjusted to meet our needs. We will be back and we will come back to Mild to Wild.

Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate your family coming back to raft with us over the years, that makes us feel pretty darn special! We're so glad that you had a great time with Brody, and we can't wait to have you back again!

Our guides, Steve and Emma, were great! They were a lot of fun, full of interesting facts about the area, and knew how to handle the rafts! I chose a mild rafting experience for my family, as we had never been white water rafting before. I will say, on this particular day, the river was quite mild. There were a few exhilarating areas - but I would have loved a few more! I booked the shorter trip for us, as we were on a tight schedule - however, in hind sight, I wish I would have booked a longer rafting adventure for us - it was so much fun, and I wasn't ready for it to end!
