About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- davidcX9709XT0 contributionsBucket List Trip!We had a wonderful rafting trip. The guides were very thorough to explain safety procedures. There were some very mild rapids, and our guide took us safely through them. Basically we could just relax and enjoy the amazing scenery. Our guide Luis did a wonderful job explaining the surrounding points of interest. He made the trip really fun, and took many photos, and then shared them with me. I highly recommend this trip.Written 28 October 2024
- Z8308XLjeromed0 contributionsRed Rock Canyon BackcountryMany thanks to our guide Darren. He guided us through Red Rock Canyon. (The back country! ). His knowledge of the area and its history was both educational and interesting. He was very patient and stopped the vehicle numerous times for some great photos. Thanks again Darren we had a great time!Written 23 October 2024

- X3145PBsusane0 contributionsFun afternoon Jeep tour!Fun Jeep trip! We went to Wind Caves via Hurrah Pass on our 4 hr pm trip. Definitely bring along a bandana for dust (and sunglasses) and hat. Darren shared info along the way on the rock art, current and past uses, and names for sites, and also nicely helped with photos. Definitely recommend! (If you are bad with heights or dropoffs ask for a more mild route...I could see how the route may bother some.)Written 17 October 2024
- christina_dorsett140 contributionsWill Absolutely Be Back :)Amazing full day rafting trip with Luis. We had a smaller private boat with just 6 passengers, loved that. Even though it was a calmer day on the river Luis still made it adventurous for us and told us so many amazing facts about the land. Lucked out seeing a bald eagle fly over usWritten 13 October 2024
- Erv000 contributionsAwesome guides. Beautiful trip!Excellent introductory white water rafting trip. The guides were awesome! Emma was our guide and she was so knowledgeable and fun. Best part was jumping in the water. All this being said, the rapids are very tame — it’s extremely beautiful and scenic but if you’re looking for an adventurous white water rafting experience, this is probably not it. However, it is very chill and low stress which makes it great for people looking for something easy that anyone at any age or ability can participate in.Written 11 October 2024

- austinbZ7129MR0 contributionsGreat jeep tour with an awesome guide Sean.This tour was awesome. Exactly what we were looking for as a family that wanted an off-roading adventure with an interpretive talk. Our guide Sean was awesome, super knowledgeable and kind, not a know-it-all which was refreshing. We did onion creek which was the perfect amount of off roading for us, not too big a technical but still a blast. We crossed several water crossings as high speed which was a blast. We stopped 3 times along the way and Sean gave us a ton of knowledge about the area. I was very impressed.Written 2 October 2024

My family did an afternoon of rafting down the Colorado in Moab while on a cross country road trip. After hiking in Arches National Park in blazing /record setting July heat, an afternoon on the water was exactly what we needed to keep from an all out mutiny among our 4 kids (10, 11, 12, and 14). All of the kids had an absolute blast!
The company was clear that this would be more of a lazy river rafting experience with a few pockets of rapids than a true “white water rafting” experience at the time I booked. That was great because our guide Robby was totally encouraging of us getting in the water. All 6 of us took a swim in the Colorado at various points on the trip and it was an amazing way to see the views of the dramatic Moab landscape from way below in the river vs. up high in the national parks.
It was nice to have an experience with all the kids, nobody was on their phones—and we met another lovely family on vacation with a son who was also 11. The kids all bonded and exchanged phone numbers and it was nice to see them make their own road trip friends.
For the cost, it was totally worth it and the half day was MORE than enough time for us. Robby was a fantastic guide, very mellow and also extremely attentive when things got even the slightest bit serious. He quickly went into action when a kayaker in the group tipped over in some rapids and gave us all clear instruction to keep the kayaker and ourselves safe and calm. It was a great first rafting experience and I’d highly recommend mild to wild to others. Great staff, clear communication, and a wonderful and well organized experience.

We had such a great time rafting down the Colorado river with our tour guide Luis — he is simply amazing! From start to finish — on the bus ride to launching point Luis was very informative teaching us about our surroundings and on the river ride was so fun yet safe at all times. Even though river flow was lower this time of year with rapids reaching level 2, he made it a blast spinning through rapids. Thank you, Luis, for such a great experience!

The perfect way to spend our last afternoon in Moab, and Caleb was the perfect guide for our two couples who just wanted to chill out and enjoy the incredible scenery! We knew the Colorado would be a little low this late in the year, but the float sections mixed in with several class 1s to give us some welcome splashes. We have booked with Mild 2 Wild in Durango, and both trips were first class professional and the staff is all about safety but also making sure their guests have a great time. Highly recommend!

Emily, our amazing raft guide did a wonderful job giving a brief historical overview and ecological perspective of the area - all while deftly maneuvering our raft through Class II and III rapids. The bus ride to the put-in is a bit long but well worth the drive, as the guides dish out interesting and humorous factoids along the way. It is clear the company takes safety seriously and we all had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!

My partner and I ended up getting a raft to ourselves, which was pretty awesome. Our guide Ashley was wonderful - she was very knowledgeable and fun and made us feel very safe the entire trip.
We would have loved it if there were more rapids but given the current weather conditions I believe Ashley made the most of it for us!
I highly recommend if you want a fun and relaxing trip down the Colorado while learning some fun facts.

We had Luis as our guide. He was FANTASTIC! Within a minute of being on the river our group (my little group and 6 strangers) were laughing and carrying on conversations. He’d tell us where would could swim, gave great directions, pull us back in the raft, took pictures (and shared them at the end), and gave history of the different sites as we floated and on the bus ride. HIGHLY recommend!

The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly and safety oriented. The whole experience was very well thought out and executed. Hannah was our guide. She was wonderful. She had fun stories, interest facts about the river and the surrounding plants and rocks and was an excellent leader through the rapids. I highly recommend this trip.

Shawn was our guide and it was one of the best parts of our trip! He set us up to be successful kayaking down the river (my bfs first time white water rafting and my first time doing it in a kayak so limited experience but he made us feel very comfortable & confident!) would highly recommend Shawn & this company, all the staff were very nice & knowledgeable! Great experience - we will definitely be back to Moab to do another run down the river!

We spontaneously decided To try to go white water rafting While in Moab, due to the heat. We called at 11 PM, and it’s 7 AM the next morning a wonderful lady called us and was able to move things around and bring in a guide from Durango to make it happen. The entire group (9 people)!
Our guide typically works in Durango (Josh) And was absolutely wonderful. We all told stories, laughed outrageously, had water fights with the other boats, and had one of the best times of our entire trip. We had for first timers on the boat, and they never had a moments hesitation. He was very efficient, safety conscious, and clear but fun with instructions. While unable to prove it, we believe he can leap tall buildings as well!

Fun way to see the scenery around Moab and stay cool! Our guide, Ashley, was friendly, responsible and knowledgeable about that section of the Colorado River and rafting in general. We had a great time. I would especially recommend renting the water guns; they came in handy to keep cool on the raft as well as fun interactions with other rafters. Also, when it’s 106 degrees in the afternoon, rafting is the best option if you want to continue to sightsee outside. Lastly, our river guide Ashley was incredibly understanding and supportive of one of our kids who is on the spectrum. For families who may have a special kid but who want to get outside and do an activity the whole family can participate in, this was a great one. My kiddo told me afterward “today was perfect.” 😊
