What a great experience! Corbin was our guide and his expert guidance, knowledge and wit made the trip a true success. From the reservation process, to the onboarding and safety talk, to the actual rafting and the return, Mild to Wild did a top notch job. Highly recommend and if you are lucky enough to have Corbin as your guide you will be assured a great experience.

“Safety” Steve was a fabulous, skilled river guide. He guided our raft, with 2 young children aboard and 4 adults, safely through the moderate and exciting parts. Warm and funny, and excellent with the history and geology of the area.

Nancy was an excellent guide. As first timers to rafting we were nervous. She was thorough with safety and rafting instructions. We had a blast learning to understand the technical aspects of white water rafting. It was obvious at the launch that Mild to Wild is heads and shoulders above the rest of the other rafting companies with safety requirements and instructions. We will go again and plan to take a longer trip
