This is my third trip with Wilderness Aware on the Salt River and I've always been very happy with their trips. Their guides are really very experienced and professional. They fixed a delicious lunch for us on the full day trip. I would very highly recommend Wilderness Aware for rafting on the Salt River.

Our company has quarterly outings as a part of developing a teamwork environment and to just have some fun outside of work together. We chose to do a day on the Salt River in April of 2013 and had a blast! We had 2 full rafts and our guides were excellent navigators and let us have loads of fun splashing each other's rafts!! The guides had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife in the area too. The lunch was great and a nice little break in the middle of the trip. We would definitely consider doing this trip again with Wilderness Aware. They are a great organization with great people! Would highly recommend :-)

My son and I recently went on a 1 day rafting trip on the Salt River in Arizona. We had never been whitewater rafting before. From the first moment I contacted Wilderness Aware to plan the trip the service was spectacular. As soon as we arrived at the Salt River location, we were greeted promptly, and the guide quickly put me at ease for the slight apprehension I had going into this new experience. He made us feel comfortable and welcome. He got us ready and explained everything. The fact that the guide was able to make the trip as exciting for an adventure seeking 18 year old boy and his "old" father, was nothing short of amazing. I am very impressed with Wilderness Aware and I would strongly recommend them for anyone looking to experience whitewater rafting, regardless of age, sex or experience. It was an awesome trip. Thank you !
