Destiny at Mild to Wild was the perfect guide! She was personable, professional, cheerful, very funny. Couldn't have had a better guide!

Definitely recommended for Mild to Wild. The half day trip is perfect if you're time limited. In mid-July the water was rather tame for rafting but still a lot of fun. We split the family between 2 in kayaks and 2 in the raft. My rafting teen wished he would have done the kayak! The guides were fantastic - very helpful, good natured, and committed to everyone enjoying themselves. Our kayak guide, M.D. was excited with us to do some rapids and extra supportive and encouraging. The guides are super mindful and playful with the young kids, also making sure they were comfortable with the activity and that they were fully included in the fun. I saved a bit in pre-paying for photos but the photographer wasn't the best for getting the shots in focus and within the frame.

Such an awesome day on the River with Friends. Bobby Lee was an amazing guide, and even with low water levels we had a really fun experience.
