We left with Captain Ron on a 3 hour tour and got so much more! There was competition, actual life saving and snacks! True fun for the whole family. 15/10 would have Ron guide our family through any River! Highly recommend the whole team at Mild to Wild as they prioritize safety and comfort.

This was the absolute best trip ever! Our day started off perfect, with the nice view of our handsome guides glowing in the sun of Colorado, their beard and mustache looking like it’s been maintained by Kanye’s stylist. How do we know you ask? We couldn’t keep our eyes off of the silver tongue guides, except when we fell and were at risk of stubbing our toe while treading the rapids, outside of the raft that is. While I was expelled by the glorious raft and bobbing up and down, gasping for air, like a pool noodle that’s been well used, I thought I was a goner, BUT I WASNT, I saw that mustache, that’s right, you know which one I’m talking about, and I knew. I KNEW I was gonna be okay, I knew that Sams skills would save my life, I knew that I would be okay and my friends were fine as I was drifting away. I knew the moment I saw Dons mustache I could I grab on to it if I needed. It was his mustache that pulled me up. I’ve never loved that look more until that moment. Anyways, guys thanks for a great trip, it was the most exciting thing ever and got our adrenaline going, we did know we were safe and anyone is lucky to have you guys leading the way and keeping everyone safe! Thank you!
