Half Day of fun on the river - Our family had a great time rafting the San Miguel R. with Mild to Wild Rafting. Our reservation got screwed up by TripAdvisor/Viator but still the guides were able to accomodate us. The water was low but still everyone had a great time. Hats off to Mild to Wild!

Great river guides and so much fun! - We took a large church youth group on the San Miguel half day white water rafting and everyone had the time of their lives! All six river guides were fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! I would absolutely go rafting with this company again.

River Rafting with Bananas - So glad we did this excursion! Incredible! Amazing views! Our guides for the half day trip were Bananas (Joe C) & Corbin! Bananas was our guide in our raft, but he made the experience even that more memorable! This trip was an hour and half and we were all beginners and had never rafted before. In our raft we were with Joe C., there were only 4 of us, so it allowed us to really have more of a personalized experience. It was one of main highlights for this trip, I would highly recommend this rafting group! Will definitely be doing again!

A PERFECT DAY!!! - THIS WAS THE BEST!!!!! I had a little trouble with the reservation when I arrived but Hannah quickly had it ironed out and I was on the River in no time. She and the other guide, Bananas, made it a perfect ride. The support staff seamlessly worked with the guides to deal with the equipment, the boats and transporting us. You can feel a family vibe between them and they make sure you feel like part of the family by the end of the day. The cherry on top was pictures and video from different stages of the ride that the staff downloaded right to my phone at the end free of charge. BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!

Rafting fun for the whole family - Noah was a knowledgeable, skilled and personable guide. The rafting trip was fun and family friendly. I live locally and would take friends here again when they come to town.

Upper San Miguel AM Half Day Rafting Experience - We loved the morning Upper San Miguel rafting trip even more than the lower half, and that says a lot since we thoroughly enjoyed the lower half afternoon experience. The rapids were so fun, and the scenery was breathtaking. Our guide, Rio, made sure we were safe and felt comfortable. He was encouraging and made the trip so enjoyable from start to finish. His patience and care for each person in the boat was noticeable immediately. We cannot recommend this trip and this company more highly. They are so thorough and make the experience a blast!
