The campsites were great, though individual camp fires are prohibited the staff builds a big fire for everyone- I prefer this because everybody can get to know eachother better! The rafting was amazing, the guides were great the food was great, and we were NEVER bored ! with a pool, 2 hot tubs, a huge chess board, darts, pool, basketball... More

Our family visited Wilderness Tours for my sisters 23rd birthday this past weekend (Season opener). The family included individuals aged 23 to 53. There were 6 of us who rafted along with others (that we didn't know) in a twelve man boat. Our group members whitewater rafting experience varied from experienced rafters to inexperienced and slightly nervous. For those who... More

We stayed in the park. My daughter was so funny when she saw the cottage. I think she was expecting more. It's just a wooden tent. Fine for 1 night. The bathrooms are campsite equivalent. The food at the campsite was just alright. Lets face it it's convenient to stay close by since you leave so early. You're there for... More

A number of us went on a white water rafting experience with Wilderness Tours. The actual rafting was great fun. The premises and facilities were filthy - the toilets in the main building were just disgusting. Would not return. More

I'm sorry that our bathroom facilities didn't meet your standard. We do have a full time cleaning staff who's sole responsibility is bathrooms in the main lodge. Unfortunately, during the fall when each trip of 100 people come back in wetsuits with sand and mud, we do sometimes fall behind. Please accept our apologies and we hope that you do... More

WT has a lot more than just rafting to offer. This summer I plan on doing their bungee jump. It is also a great place to get married, throw a bachelorette/bachelor party or camp. Keep an eye on groupon or wag jag if you are interested in rafting because there are often great deals. More

We visited Wilderness Tours in September 2012. The whitewater rafting was a blast and made even better by the exceptional guides who made everyone feel comfortable. The facility was much bigger than I expected and was very nice. We stayed in the family campground which provided a peaceful setting for our stay. The whole operation was well organized from the...

We did their whitewater rafting trips twice now and they are great, but staying overnight in one of their cottages you have to watch for mice. Lots of them. Calling their customer service does nothing as they will ignore your messages (e-mail and phone). It seems they have so much business they just don't care. Too bad because the cottages... More

What a rush! My husband and I went for the weekend. The food was very good... the lodge was great and the white water rafting was amazing! Let me start by saying we've never done this before... so for us - it was all new and exciting. The only part that was a little uncomfortable was squeezing into the wet... More

I went on a weekend trip with 7 friends. We stayed at the Ranch. There were no apples or carrots in the fridge to feed the horses as promised. Other than that, the Ranch was pretty nice. The actual rafting day was awesome - the guides were great and the food was good. Aside from this, Wilderness tours provided horrid... More

Before I start my rant, this was a great adventure for my three children. Would I do it again - yes, but only if certain practices are changed. The waiver of legal rights you are currently forced to sign is a scary document Read it carefully before you purchase a trip! Based on our experience, there is little understanding and... More
