Amazing tour - We had a good guide, Tess. She gave information about the area but also let us enjoy. Interesting was the story about the shots of Jon Bon Jovi (Blaze of Glory) on one of the rocks.

Fun time on morning half day rafting on the Colorado River at Moab, Utah - We had a beautiful day but a bit windy. Nevertheless, a great experience. Part of the trip was flat water, like a leisurely float trip enjoying the dramatic scenery. And part paddling through mild rapids which was a fun trip. Our guide, Noah, was great. Professional, fun to talk to. He knew his stuff. We are a little older so the half day trip was right for us. Mild to Wild seems to be a smaller company but very good.

Moab 2025 - It’s great for all ages and rafting experience. Our guide Wilson told us all about the river, and pointed out the wild life along the way.

Half day rafting - Our guide Annie gets 5 stars! She was great. Reason for 4 star rating is we wanted a spicer full day trip. After booking they called back to say they over booked the day. We ended up getting a pretty mild afternoon but nice afternoon half day trip. They graciously gave us a discount for their error. Some of the PFD’s need a good cleaning. Mine was kinda smelly. Great skilled guides and company. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Raft with Levi - Levi was a great guide - beautiful scenery, he accommodated swimming and fun (but not enough) rapids.

Not much water - The half-day trip was an hour or less on the water. There was a lot of downtime (signing waivers, trip safety, bus ride, bathroom break, several roll calls, etc). Although the scenery and our guide was great, I was disappointed by the trip length.
