    One-Day Hiking & Fly Fishing Adventure with Dan from Go Wild

    What an unforgettable day in the backcountry! Dan from Go Wild was an incredible guide—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing the outdoors. From the moment we hit the trail, he made the experience feel effortless, combining a scenic hike with hands-on fly fishing instruction that was both accessible and inspiring. Dan did a fantastic job tailoring the day to our skill level, offering just the right mix of guidance and freedom to learn. We walked away with not only a deeper appreciation for fly fishing but also the confidence and knowledge to continue exploring it on our own. His enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys helping others connect with nature in a meaningful way. Thanks again, Dan, for such an amazing day—I’m already looking forward to the next adventure!

    We weren’t sure what to expect but we had a great time. The stops were fun and the people at the shops were very nice. The guided tour was pretty interesting. I would recommend this as a fun excursion.

    Minam River - Packrafting Adventure

    I recently had the incredible opportunity to go on a packrafting trip with Go Wild USA, and I can confidently say it was an absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. If you're looking for an adventure that combines stunning natural beauty with thrilling river exploration, look no further than this fantastic company. Our trip, which took us to the Minam River in the Wallowa Mountains, was meticulously planned and executed. The guides were not only highly skilled and knowledgeable about packrafting techniques and river safety, but also incredibly passionate about the environment and eager to share their expertise. Their professionalism put everyone at ease, making a first-time packrafter feel confident and secure. The packrafts themselves were top-notch, lightweight yet durable, allowing us to navigate the river with ease. The scenery was breathtaking – pristine wilderness, towering trees, and abundant wildlife created a truly immersive outdoor experience. Every turn of the river offered a new vista more beautiful than the last. Beyond the exhilarating paddling, Go Wild USA ensured the entire trip was comfortable and enjoyable. From delicious, and yes, truly gourmet backcountry meals, prepared riverside to open and comfortable campsites, every detail was thoughtfully handled. The camaraderie among the group, fostered by the friendly guides, added another layer of enjoyment to the adventure. I highly recommend Go Wild USA for anyone seeking an authentic and exhilarating outdoor adventure. Their packrafting trips are a perfect blend of excitement, natural beauty, and expert guidance. It sounds cliche, but I will definitely be taking another trip through Go Wild USA! P.S: Dan and Cori were the guides for our trip. Professional and truly exceptional people to spend a week in the wilderness with. From story telling, outdoor education, water safety, musical talents, and cooking, they both exceeded every expectation on what I thought a guided trip should be like. Thank you!!
