Best day on river! We loved our guide Victoria, and how she adapted the trip to the unique requirements of our mixed age family -- ensuring that everyone had a great, and safe, time. At the end of the trip, we were all ready to go again! We've done the river a few times with various companies, and truly appreciate the professionalism, attention to safety, efficient operations (great on line presence) and friendliness of the entire Wild to Mild team.

Mild To Wild rafting was a great way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and bond as a family. Our guide Don made the experience fun, exciting, and safe. Don is great with kids and he kept us laughing! As beginners, I was confident we were in good hands because he has a ton of rafting experience. The guides have a great rapport with each other, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoyed rafting. Some of us were a little nervous at first, but once we got on the water we had a blast!

Our favorite part about the rafting experience was that we had great guides, and the river was at a perfect level. We had ages 8 to 77. Some of us were in the duckies, and the others in a paddle boat. We all had a great time thanks to Sam and Destiny!
