Incredible day on the water with Seth as our guide - Excellent day on the water with Seth as our guide - he was just brilliant. We travelled with 2 adults and our four young children (11/9/8/6) and they loved the day. The paddling was fun, the rapids exciting, of course the scenery was absolutely stunning and all the swimming opportunities along the way were incredibly refreshing (and Seth did a great job hauling those of it that needed it - me - back into the boat when required!). We witnessed a bonus heroic rescue of another M2W raft that had got stuck on rocks - Seth borrowed a kayak from another group and paddled out to help free them. The kids found this super exciting! Lunch was tasty and filling, weather perfect and the whole experience was five star. Communication throughout was prompt and informative. We’d definitely use Mild to Wild again! Big thank you to Seth!!!! His dry humour was fab. (And do wear a hat and sunscreen - we had both including factor 50 and still got slightly pink cheeks and thighs!)

Best family rafting in Moab - We had a memorable day, what a family adventure! We had the best guide, Taz, thank you for everything, our small kids (5 and 7) and us had lots of fun and at the same time we were refreshed at the Colorado river while enjoying the beautiful scenic views. Thanks again!

Easy Self-guided Tour - I enjoyed the ease of being able to go at my own pace. Very educational and beautiful. I recommend getting their early to beat the heat. We got their at 6:30 AM.

Trip Advisor is difficult to contact - Our problem was with booking via Trip Advisor. We needed to modify the date and we were told we had to contact Trip Advisor instead of the vendor directly. No contact phone number for Trip Advisor and when we went into the booking it just kept looping us. No clear cancel or modify button. We will book through Get My Guide next time. Much easier to work with.

Perfect Girls Camp adventure - Took a girls’ camp on this trip and they loved it! Rollo was our guide and she connected with all the teenage girls so well. She was knowledgeable and skilled and above all so much fun. We have a great experience.

Amazing experience! - Highly recommend this Mild2Wild trip for families with kids of all ages! We booked this all day rafting trip for our family with 4 kids aged 6-12. It was perfect- we rafted for a couple hours, then went to shore for a yummy sack lunch (great sandwiches, chips, an apple and a cookie) and then went back out to raft for a couple more hours. The water was low, so there was lots of floating with some fun class 1&2 rapids to keep it exciting. We opted to rent a water gun also- our youngest kept starting water wars with the other boats which was a lot of fun. We didn’t know the other rafters but everyone was good natured about the water fights! Our guide, Miles, was fantastic. He was pleasant to talk with and great with the kids. He told us lots of interesting facts about the scenery around us (which was breathtaking) and let our kids use the guide oars for a while also. We hopped in and out of the raft to cool off and enjoyed floating in our PFD’s. The water temp was so refreshing on the hot day! We saw mountain goats on the shore and even a doe crossing during our lunch break. I was a little worried this trip would be too long for our family- but my mind is changed after completing the trip. Now I’m looking forward to the day we can do a more challenging multi-day trip! Highly recommend this company and you can’t beat the Moab scenery!

Amazing day on the river! Definitely do it! - This is the second time we’ve gone rafting with Mild to Wild, and both trips were absolutely amazing! Our guide, Avery, was fantastic—super knowledgeable about the area and full of fun facts. She even knew exactly where to spot baby mountain goats, and we actually saw them up close! I’ve never been that close to a mountain goat before—it was incredible. The whole day was perfect from start to finish. We can’t wait to come back for a third trip!

Enjoyed the trip! - Our guide, Wolf, did a great job. Great, simple lunch. Rapids were class I, II, and II+. We were able to get in the river and float with the current.
