We went river rafting with the Menomonee river rafting. Phil was our guide and he was great. There was time before the rapids to play around. The rapid section was fun but very short. You can choose to do section again or not. There is a small hike back to launch site if you want to go back through and also where you'd drop off your spouse/kid if they were too young or unable to do the IV rapids. The tour is booked as 4 hours but we left after 2 and were back at 515. The beginning of the raft ride was much more fun than other rapids tours I've done, but the rapids themselves were very short. It is a good thing they run through them 2x. They do a photo package of your trip with flash drive of all photos from your time slot for $50, It would have been nice to have more pictures of the groups, and better shots for the price tag. We were told you couldn't bring anything on trip, but other people had phones in water cases and gopros. Would have been nice to get some better pictures of group. Also bus floor has some pretty scary holes and soft spots. They only have 2 toilets, 1 in the bar and 1 in the back of the changing room. Not sure it's a great idea to serve people alcohol before a rafting trip and saw a few people in my tour group at the bar with drinks that didn't all look like soda. We did get to see 2 people be assisted back in rafts after they fell out of rafts in the rapids, so that was cool to see the safety talk in action.
Absolutely, bar none, the most thrilling adventure birthday weekend for me in Wisconsin! The staff was incredibly curteous and went above and beyond ensuring all patrons were comfortable and satisfied with each activity. White water rafting on lake Peshitog is comparable to white water rafting in Costa Rica. The best I've encountered in Northern America.
If Google had an option for 10 stars, I'd give that! What fun!!! Finding an activity my two teenagers will enjoy is challenging, but this fit the bill and then some. Everyone on staff is so friendly and fun; our guide Jet was fantastic. The ride on the Menominee River was an absolute hoot - you go down a waterfall!! Don't be scared, though , if you follow directions, you'll be fine! And you know what, if you do fall out (and one guy in our raft did!), you'll still be fine; they know what they're doing. The $50 for the pictures is a little steep, but whatever - how often will you do something like this?! The pictures are phenomenal and I recommend getting them. Plan for a drink and snack in the bar afterward, too! This day will always be one of my favorites ever. Thank you Wildman Adventure Resort!
10000 stars if I could! Cannot recommend this place enough! My husband and I came as a day trip but wish we had stayed for the whole weekend! We did whitewater rafting with James, it was an experience of a lifetime! James was incredibly knowledgeable and fun! His safety briefing was great and I felt super safe and comfortable the whole time as it was my first! Since it was just my husband and I we got to ride with new raft guides they were awesome and so fun, they will be excellent guides! Nora, the photographer took excellent photos and was super sweet and helpful during the check in process! Zachary and a new bartender, I forgot her name I’m so sorry, we’re amazing at the bar. They made excellent craft cocktails and great old fashions! I recommend the Menominee Tea, the lavender simple syrup is made in house! Food was great too! Ashley in the gift shop, which is amazingly stocked with everything and awesome merchandise, was awesome and super helpful and told us more about the resort for our next time! We will definitely be back!! The staff are above and beyond friendly and helpful, come check it out if it’s for a weekend or a day trip it’ll be worth it!
We did a mother- adult daughter weekend and had a fabulous time. All the staff and guides we interacted with genuinely enjoy their jobs and were first rate. Had a great time and would do it again. We stayed in the cozy cabin which was perfect for two. We also got the meal plan and the food was awesome. Zipline was perfect for us as beginners. Whitewater rafting on the Menominee was VERY FUN. And I can't forget the bar tender... great drinks!
