From the time you walk onto their property, through the end of your trip, you are treated with some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. Our guide Seth was an amazing leader: clear, specific and respectful with all his instructions. Even when we got off a little on timing he always remained calm, showing the leadership skills one would want from a guide. Amazing day with an amazing staff pretty much sums it up!!”

Our raft was the most excited one going down the river compared to the other four. Overall Mild 2 Wild employed a group of friendly knowledgeable people from the office to the guides at the front line. I definitely will go rafting again with them and highly recommend it to everyone!”
