Great adventure - The tour was organized, efficient and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The river was pretty low so we stayed dry. The scenery was unbelievable and the weather was perfect.

Great half day rafting - Great experience with Mild to Wild Rafting. Super nice and fun guides. Ben was excellent as lead guide and safety instructor. Our guide in our raft, Jordan was excellent and entertaining during our afternoon trip. It was mostly a float trip with a few easy rapids that were fun and enjoyable for everyone. Our group was three retired couples who all had a great time. Nice to see the canyons and landscaping from the river perspective. We stayed mostly dry with only a few wet feet.

Friendly intro to rafting. - This was my wife & son’s first rafting trip, so went for « mild » experience. The tour guides were very friendly & informative. Our guide, Tom, had good anecdotes on the river and on the bus trips. The rapids were only Class 1 on our trip, but the scenery is splendid. My wife and son went for a swim in the 60F water, but I lingered on the raft to provide ballast. My son said he’s ready for more challenging rapids, so I consider that successful.

Got wet… had fun! - The rapids were low in October but we still had a great time. Gavin gave us a lot of history, geology and biodiversity information along our trip. We also managed to hit a few type 2 rapids and got a little wet in the process. FUN TIMES!
