We had a blast rafting with Mild To Wild today! Our guide, Ryker, was great! He made it his mission to make sure our six year old had the best first-rafting experience possible. It worked! The first thing my son asked once we left was "How old do I need to be to do the harder rapids?". I think he's hooked! Thank you Ryker and Mild To Wild!

This trip was great! Our tour guide Parker did a good job of keeping us right side up. He even jumped in the cold water to get us off a couple rocks. The tour is run very well and the guides all really seem to know what they are doing. Or are at least really good at pretending they do. I would recommend this tour for a beginner looking to try rafting. The half day was just enough for us and our 6 year old.
