Reviews
As a first-time rafter, Mild to Wild Rafting made my experience truly memorable! 🚣♂️🏔️ From keeping us updated with our schedule to making sure we felt safe while still having the best time on the water, everything was well organized. Special shoutout to the GOAT, Mr. Eli /elay/! 🐐😂 Thank you for the corny cow jokes, interesting trivia along the way, and for always making sure we were safe, comfortable, and enjoying every moment of the ride. You definitely made our first rafting experience one for the books! Highly recommend Mild to Wild for anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable Colorado rafting adventure! 🌊⛰️
My review is for the nervous parents out there, the parents who go to “worst case scenario” when faced with an adventure activity. My husband booked this experience for our family (2 adults, 2 teens). I was prepared to be a good sport, even though I don’t like water activities or going fast 😬. There was a moment before we left for rafting that I even considered sitting out of the experience. What a mistake that would have been! The adventure was fantastic! We had Zach as our guide on the water. He was confident and easy going, which gave me some time to relax and to give myself permission to gasp, “have fun”. The trip itself was calm, we saw beautiful landscapes, and it was a great way to see Utah. We did the Class 1 and 2 rapids, and as someone who doesn’t like water activities, I even found going through them to be fun. I had a smile on my face the whole time. I am so glad I have this as a family memory. If you choose to select this adventure, I hope you enjoy yourself as much as I did.
We could not have asked for a better experience than our 1/2 day trip with Mild to Wild. The check-in process was organized and efficient; the bus ride was quick and half the time was used for the safety briefing. The guides had us off the bus and in the water in 15 minutes. Even with low water levels, our family had an amazing time and our kids (one of which was absolutely against even trying rafting) cannot wait to go again! Our guide - Lauren W - did a fantastic job of teaching and educating us on the mechanics of rafting and the area we were traveling which kept us engaged and active during the less intense parts of the trip. We are already looking to book our next trip!
