Was a great experience! I would definitely go back again but probably more likely to try someplace new just for new experience, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Cataract canyon with Mild to Wild.

Great scenic river rafting tour. Did the half day trip and it was the perfect amount of time. Our guide Bubba was cool, informative and fun. So many amazing views! Would recommend. Very calm ride
