We took a group of 10 people rafting and we had a blast. Luke was our rafting guide and he made it worth the trip. He humored our 12 year old by trying to get us to the big waves, as he kept pointing them out. Once the trip was over the bus ride home was just as entertaining. All the guides and rafters shared jokes and riddles. Totally recommend taking a rafting trip with these guys.

This has been our family's third time to go rafting (our second time with Mild to Wild), and this has by far been our best trip yet! Benji was our guide and we can't say enough good things about him. He was very funny, informative, and we knew an adventure was in store for us when we got on the river with him. The next time we visit, we will definitely be requesting him. He fulfilled every expectation for our rafting experience, and we will definitely be coming back to visit Mild to Wild!

EXCELLENT adventure for our family. We loved every second of it. Zach did a wonderful job keeping it thrilling AND safe....he kept us all in the boat. Highly recommended outing for outdoorsy people looking for fun. Thank you all...we will be back!

We can't wait to see you again. Zach also guides our overnight trips. Next time he can cook amazing food in our camp portable kitchen, and entertain you around the campfire. Then after a great night sleeping under the stars in the fresh air, you will wake up to the smell of hot coffee and his amazing breakfast. We can't wait!
