Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Kay M0 contributionsFantastic!Dan and Maggie made it a very memorable trip. Eased any doubts and caught me when I shorted the approach. Fantastic time. Thank you!Written 11 August 2024
- 2thdoc331330 contributions"Wow, Such A Rush!"We'd recently enjoyed the whitewater rafting with Wildman and were looking forward to our first ever ziplining experience. It didn't disappoint. They were nice enough to let us reschedule one day later because of the threat of rain and lightning. The weather today was chilly but dry. We were the only ones today, so we got 100% of the time with our guides, Jet and Paris. Both were very knowledgeable, aware of our lack of experience, and gave us excellent coaching and tested our ability to apply it, to make sure we were ready. The gear is top notch, quite sturdy and with extra secure backups. The guides clipped us in at each of the five towers and we sped off, banzai! I got good GoPro video as well. I'm very pleased with Wildman and highly recommend them for both activities. We have now gained experience and confidence, thanks to their system and guides, all of whom love their jobs.Written 7 September 2023
- 687clintong0 contributionsThrillingWas an awesome trip, Devon and Nathan were great tour guides. I would highly recommend booking a trip with them!Written 2 June 2023
- suzorsalid0 contributionsYou need to go hereIt was my 58th birthday today and my husband and I decided to do zip lining. Phil and Paddles were the best guides ever. The owner was very nice too explaining to us what occurs with zip lining, safety equipment used, etc. It was a very positive experience. I loved it so much. The guides were totally fun and had each one of us engaged. I was nervous of each landing but Phil and Paddles were so supportive and encouraging. I am definitely telling my friends about our positive and wonderful experience we had here today!!!Written 11 September 2021
- Yang C0 contributionsAwesome Guides and Awesome ExperienceOur group had an awesome time rock climbing with James and Mox and the two guides really made the trip with their upbeat and fun attitude. Bonus of this is that you get to do a very light hike / walk through the beautiful forest preserve to get the climbing location.Written 14 September 2020
- 4under120 contributionsLots of funVery well run and efficient company. Our guide Mason was knowledgeable, sharing lots of cool history and geography facts during our floating moments, skillful, and a lot of fun. The fact that you get to do the best rapids (Class3-4) twice is a huge bonus, as the others are relatively minor though still fun. The hike back to your second boat after big rapids is beautiful and full of perfect viewing areas to watch other boats navigate the rapids. Bald eagles circling. Gorgeous scenery. It was over too soon, but you take what nature gives, and it gave us a lot of exhilarating fun. I was a rookie, and felt like I could handle it...takes a bit of coordination, but even a beginner or athletic kid could do this!Written 9 September 2020
- Safari6528040 contributionsSpent an amazing time at wildman!Friendly staff, beautiful view, clean cabin, and had a blast doing the activities. Our activity instructor, Mox (i believe thats how you spell her mame) was AMAZING! She was so much fun and super patient with our group. Definitely will book a trip again and stay longer. Coffee maker and toaster did not work. Overall experience rating from my group was 5 stars.Written 9 September 2020
- mclacni0 contributionsExhilarating!I have never been white water rafting before and this trip exceeded all my expectations! Mason was our guide and not only was he knowledgeable of the river but he made sure we were all safe and having an awesome time. This operation is very well run and the whole afternoon when very smoothly. The best part is that you get to do the Class 4 rapids twice!! The 2nd time through my sister and I sat in the front of the raft and it was a whole new experience! Go Pros are welcomed and the professional pictures were excellent! Will definitely be planning another trip with more family members!Written 9 September 2020
- Olivia W0 contributionsSuch a cool experience!I was super impressed with this rafting tour. They let me borrow a special clip so I could use my GoPro. Check in was really easy and transport to the launch point was seamless. I appreciated that you were allowed to get out of the raft and swim in the river. I enjoyed hiking on the islands to get a different viewpoint of the rapids and see other rafts go down. Being able to do the big rapids twice was a major bonus! Our guide was funny, energetic and knowledgeable about the river. Highly recommend!Written 8 September 2020
- 564shannanc0 contributionsFantastic fun!Our rafting experience was a wild adventure, great workout with incredible natural beauty surrounding us. Our guides could not have been any more amazing! They were incredibly charming, knowledgeable and obviously experienced. The two made our trip what it was. If you have the chance, go on the Pishtoga River tube trip!Written 8 September 2020
- S Jay P0 contributionsA Wildman Adventure for sure!!Sierra and Mos were the best guides ever. They made everyone feel welcome and safe. They also made the adventure extremely fun, with facts, knowledge and jokes. I highly recommend the zip line trip. We had a 9 year old along and it was so fun and safe for them. We are going back and will also take the rafting adventure. Fantastic Company 10 thumbs up!!Written 8 September 2020
- Robert S0 contributions5 Days at Wildman - GREAT TIMEWe had a great time at Wildman. My daughter (17) brought a friend and they had a blast (as did I and my wife. All activities come with 1 or 2 guides. You safety and enjoyment is their primary concern.We did the following activities: 1. ZipLine (Menomonee Location) - A normal zipline that was fun for all. The guides were great. 2. Paintball (Menomonee Location) - We got to enjoy our battle wounds for a few days. You will likely get a few bruises. But hey, this is paintball. 3. Rafting (Menomonee Location) - We did the 8-person raft (plus a guide). There are 2 ok rapids and then there is THE 2 PIERS GORGE. This is a long run (90 secs or so) of awesome category 4 rapids. It is so good, you tether an extra raft when you begin the trip and drop off prior to the GORGE run. Then a light 10-15 mike back to run it again. This run makes the trip very worth your wild. 4. Rafting - WILD Ride) (Menomonee Location) - We did the same run as about but this time in a smaller 4-person boat (plus guide). It definitely made the GORGE run awesome. We all got tossed on the second run...WILD! 5. Kayak (Peshtigo Location) - This was a quite trip on a lake where we enjoyed the weather and wild life. Kayak time as maybe 90 minutes (maybe more). 6. Alpine Tower (Peshtigo Location). This girls loved this. It is pretty extreme climping followed by a large swing. We stayed at the Cub cabin (Menomonee Location), which was perfectly fine for the cost. It had A/C, a full kitchen and an outside (charcoal) grill. There was also a grate that could be used over the fire pit (which we used quite a bit). The cabin is walkable to/from the Menomonee activity center (where all Menomonee events start).Written 30 August 2020
- Aubreyaam0 contributionsGreat experience! Want to come back already!I gifted my boyfriend with the experience of zip lining and white water rafting. It was very easy to book, especially just a few days in advance. The ziplining was very fun, and my boyfriend said is was very fun (he has been zipping in mexico). The whitewater rafting was definatly our favorite. We were surprised by how much we loved it. The guides were great and make you feel very comfortable and excited. It was unreal going through the Rapids. It is something we will always remember and white water rafting is now an activity we will pursue! Highly recommend wildman adventures. The prices were also reasonable and I felt like I got every dollars worth:)Written 27 August 2020
- Kgzacher0 contributionsGreat weekend tripWe had a group of 12 people. The campground at the Pestigo River Outpost was wonderfully situated along the river. It was quite and comfortable. The rafting, the Menominee was a lot of fun, big rapids that you get to ride through more than once. THE PESTIGO: wow is this trip underrated! Sure it’s only class 2 and 3. But when was the last time you guided a boat through the rapids yourself without a guide. They should offer a full day option for this one. Run it once in the morning. Meet for a picnic lunch in their gorgeous pavilion to revel in the run and plan out what you are going to different on the afternoon run. I’ll be back, I’ll definitely be back.Written 26 August 2020
- lisa1crab0 contributionsAwesomeGreat staff, had a wonderful time, highly recommend the rafting trip . we will be back to try the zip line and do more rafting.Written 25 August 2020

I went on the Menominee River whitewater rafting trip. I was kind of nervous ahead of time, but overall it felt relatively safe but still an adrenaline rush. The guide did a really good job teaching us what to expect and he was excellent at navigating the raft. You will get soaked, so dress accordingly. I would also recommend hydrating well beforehand since you don't have access to drinking water during the trip. We had a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend this as a fun way to spend half a day.

Adrenaline rush! We loved white water rafting through Piers Gorge on the Menominee River! Our guide, James, did an awesome job teaching us the necessary skills for a successful ride, and navigating our raft through class III & class IV rapids. He offered great stories, games, and color commentary. I highly recommend white water rafting with Wildman!

ade the river run fun and we all felt confident in his skills and with his consistent positive feedback we felt like we were amazing rafters and could do whatever was coming. The beauty of the river was remarkable. The second best thing was our time at Bombers after. Don't miss out on the opportunity to connect with the guides and staff. Be sure to stop in after your run to check out your river pictures and share stories and laughs with the amazing young people at Wildman Adventures. Thanks for the best part of our vacation. You guys helped create a wonderful experience that we will cherish. Thanks Rodger!!❤

Absolutely gorgeous day and absolutely adrenaline filled rafting trip. Guide was excellent, helpfully explained all the necessary details for novices. Total comfort, even as we plunged 10 feet over some class 4 rapids. Will return. The pictures are priceless and the 4 of us laugh every time we see them.

Booking was easy.. We had to switch out dates to accommodate a scheduling issue in our vacation, but they were super easy and kind to work with. The day of our trip, they called to let us know the river was high and "a little rowdy". I was a little scared, as we were all first-timers, but if we didn't go that day, we weren't going to go. We decided to risk it. Our guide, Marcus, was reassuring & promised the worst that would happen would be getting wet. He was right! It was so much fun! Looking at the videos you can see how our guide was expertly guiding us through the rapids and keeping us right side up and in the boat, which was the goal! We were a group of 7, ranging from 15 to 53, and EVERYONE said it was amazing. Memories and photos (Thanks, Red!) we will treasure forever.

Very happy we found Wildman. We are taking advantage of several of their adventures. So far, they have not disappointed! Their staff is phenomenal. It seems as though each and every one (that we dealt with anyway) wants only to make your time with them special. They are friendly, laid back, diligent about safety, and extremely knowledgeable. They relate to people well. We were fortunate to have Sam as our guide for our white water rafting trip. He made the day most pleasant! The equipment is in good condition, the training and safety is top notch, and the river is amazing! If you are able to take a camera, you can get some beautiful shots. However, never take anything into the raft that cannot get wet or lost. The most powerful rapids on this tour are stage 4. This tour allows you to go through that passage twice. The first time Sam plotted a course that was great, the second pass he plotted a course that was even more demanding and exciting. Additionally, the trip includes some stage 2 or 3 rapids. We were lucky. We visited early August, but fortunately the water levels were still high enough for a great run.

For my family it was our 4th trip to Wildman. We brought 7 newbies along for rafting and ziplining. Everyone had an absolute blast.
The guides are extremely knowledgable and are funny. Most of there jokes anyway. :)
I highly recommend this place for anything they offer. The 7 newbies all stated they want to go back next year with us too.
On a side note the water level was higher than normal and running g quite quick. I believe the guide said it was 3200 cfm on Sat when we went. My boat earned the coveted spots on there swim team.

We drove down from Marquette (roughly 90 min) and was so worth the drive. Pete was our guide and he was awesome. We aren’t spring chickens and I was nervous but WE HAD A BLAST. The river was cool but not freezing but when you’re paddling it feels great. The instruction was top notch and going thru those class 4 rapids (not once but twice) was beyond thrilling heart pounding AND FUN!! A beautiful river too. Def checked this off my bucket list. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Four women took ten teenage boys for the week camping at the other site. We went white water rafting twice, zip lining, paintball, rock climbing and had a fantastic time! The whole staff was really knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We had Ty and Timm for multiple activities and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We would have appreciated a shower house to be used after the rafting trips. Loved having the cafe on site. We had a few larger people that struggled with the zip lining activity but loved the rafting.

Our crew of 5 adults had a fantastic time! Our guide Marina was nothing less than excellent; she made us feel comfortable, guided us safely and well, and joined our crew as a fast friend. The action photos they took for our group were terrific, letting us bring the excitement home! Our one wish was that the emails preparing us for what we needed to bring and expect ahead of time were clearer, but once we arrived on-site, we were thrilled with the experience as a whole. Oh, and Dan even gave us a dinner recommendation for afterwards – they were caring and fun, through and through!
