Reviews
Great boat trip Hanna, our river guide was awesome. Highly recommend.
It was a low-water season this year, so we didn't know what to expect, but Mild to Wild did an excellent job making this a fun, friendly and safe experience with just enough thrills for fun. Manager Micah was so knowledgeable and confident and a terrific leader. Justin was the guide in our boat for our group of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens), and he did an awesome job navigating a technical low-water run while making us feel like WE were the pros. And he was a hoot, too! Would definitely return to this same company in the future.
It was such a great experience! It was low water because of the time of year we went, but Skyler still made sure we had a thrilling experience! The staff was nice, it was easy to book, and it was a great overall experience! Can’t wait to come back and try some class III rapids! Thank you for making our first rafting experience memorable ⛰️💛
