We had a great time at Mild to Wild Rafting, id post a picture but don't have it yet. Our guide Ron was awesome and we had a great group of people on our raft, even though it was end of season the water was great and we will definitely be back next year.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Dennis as our guide. He was great with the history of the river. I can check this adventure off my bucket list.

This was the greatest experience. Our whole boat was family and we all were smiles and laughes the whole trip. Our guide was Cody and he was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip even better. We all ended the day planning our next trip. Mild2wild rocked it! Book them, you will have a blast.

This place is GREAT! There was a mix up with the initial booking we made with Travelocity. Mild to Wild worked with us so we could still have a rafting trip. The trip we had was made good by our rafting guides, Annie, Marcus and Lauren. I had a little more excitement than expected but the guides and other passengers were great and got me through it. The company even called to check on me the next day. I would highly recommend this company to everyone!

We did this for Mother’s Day, and was super surprised with how much fun we all had! Every guide was funny, informative, and super friendly! Our guide was Charlie and we could not have had a better time with him! With a brief lesson, and easy commands he had us feeling like we were really rafting, we are not naive to think we were pros, he definitely made us feel like a team. I would one hundred percent, we want to do a Colorado trip next!

Such a great experience made even better by the fun-loving, well-experienced and knowledgeable guides. Charlie was awesome and made our once-in-a-lifetime trip memorable. Well, actually. I had so much fun-I'd do it all over again!

It’s easy to determine the character of people when they do something without any gain for themselves. One weekend, I had the unique opportunity to kayak the Salt River Daily Run. Unfortunately, I forgot my river pants. This could have put an end to my trip, but Mild To Wild graciously let me borrow a wetsuit. Although, I never boated with them, it was obvious that they were running a very professional and safety conscious operation. If my family wanted to go rafting, I would send them to Mild To Wild. Thank you for saving the day!

We signed up for the "half day" trip (only 3 hours) but you are only on the water for maybe 1 hour. Any rapids we went through were quite small, most of the time we were slowly cruising down the river - almost no paddling involved. Very much overpriced for what it is.

My family and I had such a good time! I thought it was going to be scary but it was not at all. I could see this being fun for all age groups. Our guide Dillon was great! He was very experienced and told fun facts about the area as we went down the river. Make sure to drink lots of water and bring sunscreen.

My friend & I booked the full day express trip for yesterday, 4.29.23. We were paired up with 2 other couples and our amazing guide, Rob from Ohio, so a total of 7. I believe our raft was the smallest out there, most had 8-10 ppl. We arrived at 10am and were guided through rules, water safety and gear. This was my 2nd rafting trip and I have to say it was SO much FUN! I was surprised by the size of some of the drops and how active the water was! We got to experience everything from calm beauty, to raging rapids, to steep drops and a feeling of flying on top of water! Our guide was the best, he had incredible knowledge of the desert landscape and water navigation. I felt 100% confident and safe on his craft.

I did pay in advance for the pictures ($40 something) and when I went to pick up the thumb drive, they were having internet issues. I was told I'd have them in an email within an hour. It's now the next day, and I haven't received anything. I was also told it would be all the pictures from the entire day and not just the ones of our group, so that is a bummer! I will update my review once I hear back from them.

Things that might help you: Wear a floppy hat, it fits fine under the helmet and protected my face from the sun all day. It also saved my face from getting blasted with overhead water several times. Bring a snack for the bus ride (it's about 30-40 minutes back to base). I brought an energy bar which was great. Bring Water. I opted out of wearing the wet suit, it was warm most of the trip even after going through rapids. I did get cold once the afternoon winds picked up, but never felt I needed it. For reference, I'm one of those ppl who is always cold. You can tip your guide when you return to base. Have fun! Stay tuned for update on the pictures.

Awesome rafting and our guide was very informative and safe for our kids’ first rafting trip.

The one-night campout was immensely fun. Our guide, Sam, was terrific. His energy and excitement is contagious. He was a big part of what made the weekend enjoyable. The food and hospitality while our group camped that evening was also great.
My one critique is that the communication (emails and website information) has some room for improvement. The schedule and logistics were not totally clear to me which made packing trickier than it needed to be. Everything else was pretty much perfect.

We did the half day Salt River tour. When you book it says 3 hours but it's only about 1.5 hours actually on the water. The rest of the time is getting geared up, safety orientation, hiking down to the river and driving back to the starting point etc. But it was so much fun and a perfect taste of what white water rafting can be like for those wanting to try it out for the first time. Next time we'll have to come back for a longer trip!

We had so much fun last Saturday, rafting the Salt River!
This was my first time and I LOVED IT! Mild to Wild Rafting
provided us with an amazing experience because they were organized, knowledgeable and fun! Our guide, Charlie Brown, made our time on the river so enjoyable. Charlie was a lot of fun very informative and he maneuvered the river with precision. He told us what to do, when to do it and we all hooted and hollered in ecstatic joy! Thank you for an outstanding day that will be long remembered!

Thank you to all the staff at Mild to Wild Rafting for making our Salt River overnight camp out trip unforgettable. It is clear that the staff for Mild to Wild love their jobs and love to make the customers have an incredible experience. I would highly recommend using this company and can't wait to plan our next trip. Special shout out to George and Marcus. George was a great raft captain and chef at camp. Marcus and George went above and beyond to create a romantic dinner right on the river for me and my wife. This was completely unexpected and it was so clear to us that George and Marcus were so happy to do this special thing for us. I later found out from my wife that this special dinner was all based on a phone conversation my wife had with Molly (I believe the company owner or director) when the trip was booked months ago. We were overwhelmed with fun, excitement, and Love in every aspect of our rafting and camping experience. Thank you again, Molly, Georger, Marcus, and the whole Mild to Wild team!
