Falana_W, Mar 2026
Due to very low water levels, this was a very very mild float with a few ripples. Guides did their best to keep it entertaining with water splash battles between the boats, which helped cool us off too. Was still nice to be on the Colorado and the scenery was beautiful.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Falana, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Colorado River and appreciated the efforts of our guides to keep things fun, even with the low water levels. While water flows can affect the intensity of the adventure, we strive to make every trip memorable, and your feedback encourages us to keep improving. We hope you'll consider joining us again in the future, perhaps when the river's a little wilder. Safe travels!

Patty_B, Oct 2025
Great group rating guides took 3 boats on a roughly 7 mile trip on the Colorado River. At this time of year it's a pretty mild trip with only a few easy rapids. Team was professional, fun, & our guide Tom told us a lot about the area. The scenery is beautiful and it was nice to be on the river that carved it's way through to the Grand Canyon and beyond!

The Mild to Wild is really mild - but still very enjoyable. My family chose the Colorado River Tour. While it is called "white water rafting" there is very little white water, more of a lazy river. While our group was mostly 20-30-somethings and may have enjoyed something a little more adventurous- our guide, Irving, made the trip interesting with information about what we were seeing. It was also fun to see the mountains and rock formations from the river side rather than the road. We stopped and swam in the water - overall a great trip and we would do it again.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're pleased that your family had a great time and enjoyed Irving’s guiding and the unique views from the river. We always aim to accurately describe our tours and offer something for everyone—from the mild to the wild! If anyone in your group is looking for more thrills next time, just let our team know and we can recommend a tour that better matches your sense of adventure. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly appreciate it. We hope to raft with you again soon!

It was delightful day on the Colorado. The guides were helpful, entertaining, informative, and fun..
I really have nothing more to add to that but it seems like you need 100 words for this to be completed.

Great trip on the Colorado river with my pre-teen kiddos. The river was calm with a few class one rapids. He got to jump in the river, too, since it was hot. Great guide!

We went on the half-day, 5-mile rafting tour and had a fantastic experience. The trip was very well organized by Mild to Wild — everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Irving was a great guide! He kept things fun, safe, and engaging for everyone. Our nine and ten year old kids especially loved jumping into the river and playing with other kids on the nearby rafts. We felt comfortable the whole time and really enjoyed this unique and memorable adventure. Highly recommend!

Our 1/2 day float on the Colorado River with Mild to Wild Tours was fantastic. We were paired with Sam, who was wonderful. He provided fun while also teaching us many interesting facts about the River and surrounding land. He was very safe and professional. We had a blast in the class I and II rapids and also were able to jump into the River several times for some swimming and cooling off. Our whole group decided this was the best of our adventures in Moab.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that your 1/2 day float on the Colorado River with Sam was a highlight of your Moab adventures.

Griselda_V, Jun 2025
It was fun and wonderful, but will be perfect if we left on time, it took little above an hour to be in the rafting area. Bus took us all the Onion after almost 40min wait to take off, but the experience and guide switch all to a great experience. Our guide Devin was formidably and very knowledgeable, with great experience at rafting and management of the raft boat. Group in our boat was awesome too
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you, Griselda, for your honest and thoughtful review! While we're happy Devin and your group provided a fun and memorable rafting experience, we apologize for the bus delay at the start. Your feedback helps us make important improvements, and we’ll be reviewing our procedures to ensure a more prompt departure in the future.

Great team: very friendly and professional, experience was as if you are doing it with friends. Our guide Tom learned the names of everyone on his raft and told endless fun stories about the sights we were rafting by and his experiences in the area. The drive to the boarding is breathtaking - rated as #2 most beautiful road in the USA.

Hi, thank you for your kind words and for highlighting Tom's efforts in making your rafting trip special. We believe that a great guide can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one, and it sounds like Tom delivered!
