We had a wonderful time. This was our first experience with rafting. Skylar was a wonderful guide and this is something that we would do again.

Fun time with enough excitement to keep it interesting. Not only did we have fun, we came away smarter and better looking.

Smooth and enjoyable experience beginning to end. Our guide, Trey, was a pro and Mar us all super comfortable Int he boat and on the water (which was no easy task b/c my daughter and I were nervous). Trey had us paddling and smoking through class 3 rapids by the end of the trip. We went as a family of 4, two kids 10 and 14. Everyone loved it. Would totally recommend Trey and Mild to Wild.
