Bodi was the best!
conniec598, September 2026
Fun experience that I would highly recommend! We took the 3:30pm trip on September 14th. Just be aware that the winds can kick up during the last 30 minutes and make it pretty chilly. Bodi was an outstanding guide and kept us entertained with his numerous stories of fun and adventure! The company supplied wet suits, water shoes and jackets. The bus ride back was nice and warm. We made a fun memory that will last a lifetime and highly recommend this trip for everyone who visits the area. Rapids were Class 1 & 2+... nothing too difficult or scary to maneuver.

Great experience for our first family whitewater.

We had a great time even though it was chilly and a realtively low river. The guides made it fun for the whole family.

Excellent Guide and Trip
medako, September 2026
Our guide was amazing! Young man from New Hampshire that made his way out west. I feel horrible for not remembering his name but he was fabulous. Great knowledge of the area, and lots of info. Very personable. We loved the trip. I was with my 4 year old grandson (float trip) and he loved it! He kept asking when we could do it again. If you get the chance to do a trip with Wild West do it!

Worth every penny!
mattkQ1954EC, September 2026
I was able to get white water rafting off my bucket list of things to do! Worth every penny. I also had a pleasant / funny river guide - I gave him a genuine heartfelt tip. Also I felt pictures purchased separately were worth it. I felt this particular trip offered is good for someone doing it for the first time (like me); route has some rapids, then areas to float downstream a bit, before next set of rapids. Now that I know what white water rafting is like, I am more confident rafting a more aggressive river elsewhere.
Response from the operator · WildWestRafting Hey there Matt, we are so glad we could help you check white water rafting off of your bucket list! Our photographer takes some awesome pictures you have to check out after your trip. Thank you so much for choosing Wild West! We'd love to have you back in the beginning of the season for some high water and bigger rapids!!

Must try!
Getahun_A, September 2026
Awesome experience! Very friendly, fun, and clean environment!
One thing I learned and experienced was that how the place is “safe” means that.. no one touch your stuff!!!! Even unlock car door
At the end we were greeted by friendly dog!
Response from the operator · WildWestRafting We are so happy to hear y'all had an awesome experience. We sure do love our sweet pups here at Wild West! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!!
