Life changing Adventure! - What an amazing trip! Mild to Wild made booking easy. The guides made 4 days of camping very enjoyable (I'm not a big camper). They really worked well as a team preparing us for the adventure, cooking great food and really taking care of all our needs on the trip. They do so many little things to make a family trip of 7 seem almost effortless. I can't do justice to the beauty of the Ladore Canyon. You have to see it for yourself. Life changing adventure that all kids (and adults) should experience! Thank you Jackson and team.

Rafting on the Colorado - Our family had a wonderful time on this raft ride along the Colorado River with Ashley. This was our 1st raft ride along this stretch of the River - east of Moab. What a BLAST!! Our guide was great with directing our raft through the rapids. Spectacular views and scenery. We would definitely choose this ride again with 'Mild to Wild.

Amazing Views and Great Guide (Sean) - We rafted with Sean. He was an awesome guide - very knowledgeable / shared a lot of interesting information along the way. We are two adult couples but it would also be fun as a family. The shuttle drivers and whole staff in Moab very great. Don’t miss it.

First Colorado river trip. - Super fun. Arrived at 8:30, on the water 10ish. Back to our car by 3:00. We float 15 miles and hit 5 or 6 pretty good rapids. Our guide Dean was awsome and sandwich for lunch was great. The whole family says we will be back Thank.

Great Family Trip - This was a wonderful trip: our guide, Dean, was knowledgeable and shared with us so much about the sites along the river. Dean never hesitated to take us down the best lines and keep the kids smiling. We did this with a 4,8, and 11 year old and found so thing to make everyone happy. Thank you, Dean for hosting us on this gorgeous river. Great all around family trip.

Fantastic Family Rafting Experience with Gavin! - Our family of 5 had an unforgettable time on the Colorado River thanks to Gavin! The trip offered breathtaking views of Moab along serene waters and just the right amount of excitement with class 2 and 3 rapids. Gavin's competence and focus on safety were evident throughout, which allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment. His extensive knowledge of the area added depth to the experience. Highly recommend Gavin for a safe and informative river adventure!

Once in a Lifetime Peak Experience - If there was a bucket list of white water rafting trips- this is #1. 3 days/ 2 nights down Cataract Canyon early June when the river peaks is epic. Timing could not have been more perfect. Our guides, Max and Jeff were first class hosts who truly enjoy their craft. 5 star food, super safe, wonderful company. Wild to Mild knows how to run a tour.

Slow start. Great guide. - The day started at their location with an 0830 show time. We didn’t leave their site until 9:15 so they were right about having plenty of time to get ready and no need to come early. Then it is about. 40-45 minute drive to the put in site for the rafts. Pretty drive with the guides periodically pointing out interesting rock formations. However, the bus was awful with no legroom definitely designed for children. Once we got onto our raft, Liam, our guide was lovely. He pointed out interesting things to see turned the boat in very directions to help with the viewing. As this particular trip was low on rapids per my husband‘s preference Liam also suggested games and invited us to get out and swim in the river. The weather was not ideal, which is no reflection at all on the rafting. Lunch however was kind of pitiful. White bread with two slices of cheese, a couple of slices of meat, a piece of lettuce and a bottle of mayo available on the table that ran out before the sandwiches could be finished. A apple, a bag of chips and a bland cookie. It filled the hole in my stomach, but wasn’t very tasty. They guides said it came from a local deli but I don’t remember which one they said. They definitely need a new source for lunch. Then back to the river for the second half of the trip the weather had improved a bit. All told, we spent maybe 3 to 3 1/2 hours on the river of the 6 1/2 to 7 hour trip. We did enjoy ourselves but some things like using the bigger bus they picked us back up in, proving clearer expectations to actual rafting time and finding a new lunch provider could bump this tour from a 4 to 5 star tour.
