I’ve always wanted to raft, but my husband and my 9 year old weren’t so sure about it. Our guide Jessie was amazing and took the time to really help our anxious kiddo feel comfortable. He was friendly and very competent. We felt safe and had fun the whole time! We are so glad we decided to book with Mild to Wild and that we got Jessie as our guide! Everyone we talked to was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. If you are questioning whether to book this rafting trip or what company to use, I would highly recommend booking it now. I’m sure you won’t regret it!! 10/10 would recommend!
