Arrived without a reservation, not what I would recommend, but we got lucky. I liked parking my car where we get out and they take you upstream. Very friendly staff and owners are there working along side them, liked seeing that. Great gear, mad river, all you will need or want. Bring a cooler it got a little warm, July and all. Our church uses this group and I will use them again. Off the beaten path, however you don't get all the rif raf from all other float companies.

We had a pleasant experience with the host from the time we arrived until the time we returned at the landing. We were a family of five and chose the kayaks. We took an ice chest full of water, but did not take anything to eat. The river is relatively slow flowing, so it takes longer to make the 5 mile trip than we expected. Highly recommend taking food on the trip. There are three or four gravel beds on the river were you can pull your canoe or kayak out and have a picnic lunch. At one point the river changed the way it looked with dead trees in the river and large stumps. We began to wonder if we had passed the landing. When you see this area you still have about 45 minutes to go. There is a sign on the right bank of the river one half-mile from your final destination. After traveling the river once, I would recommend taking the 10 o'clock group instead of the 12 o'clock group, so you have plenty of time... And then take your time, enjoy a picnic on the riverbank... Overall, a professionally well-run outfit.

We rented a canoe and did the 8 mile trip and had a blast! We made reservations a couple weeks in advance, when we got there they had the canoes for our group loaded up and ready to go at 9. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely be using them next time!

This is the only outfitter we have used for the last 5-6 years. They have always provided excellent service and ave gone out of their way to get us in the river ahead of the big crowds! You cannot go wrong with Wild Goose!

This is an awesome place to kayak in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The outfitter is very clean, welcoming, and well equipped for all water excursions. It is a beautiful and scenic. We did the Eight mile and five mile trips. There are several rapids that are definitely an experience for the adventurist. We loved it!

We selected Wild Goose for our day of kayaking the river based upon the reviews and are very happy that we did. There are many places that offer a similar service, but one of the reasons Wild Goose is the best choice is because their outfit is actually on the river so you go to their place, get signed in, pay, etc. and then they drive you up the river and drop you and your kayak or canoe in at that point (we did the 5 mile route) and you spend the day making your way back to their place - they just ask that you are back by 6pm. Subject to the weather of course, they have a few different options for what time you want to launch. We did 10:30am which put us in the water around 11am by the time they got all of us and the gear to the river. We took our time on the river - pulled off to the side numerous times to just hang out, play in the water, eat lunch, etc. We were so enjoying ourselves that we took a little over 4 hours. Along the way we noticed that those with other canoeing outfits had designated spots where they were to stop on the riverbank and wait for all those in their group to make it to the stop and then wait to be picked up and driven back to the outfits location to get back to their cars. There are signs on the river when you are nearing the Wild Goose location and when you get there, you pull up to the riverbank, get out and hand them your life jackets, say thank you and head to your car - very nice set up. And they have tandem kayaks which were new to us, but we gave it a try and really liked it - we were able to be together, but easier to manage than a canoe, lighter and has a seatback for each of us rather than none in a canoe. We were 2 adults but it would be good for 1 adult and a kid too. I spoke to Greg when I called to inquire about setting up the trip and he was very helpful in providing suggestions and information.

We had a kayak trip booked at 1:30 on a Friday on the calmer "lower five miles" portion of the river. The weather looked iffy with a line of large thunder storms approaching. we watch wether map with the staff, it looked bad. They offered a rebooking Saturday morning at 10:30. It went wonderfully! beautiful weather, nice river suitable for any level, courteous and professional staff. Actual river time was a little less than two hours. A great trip on a beautiful river. We plan to try the faster and somewhat more thrilling upper three miles next time.

Not knowing any outfitters in the area we chose Wild Goose from a guide book. From the start the owner talked to me about our skill level and what we wanted from our experience, then she made recommendations. Trusting her experience and knowledge was a great decision. She recommended a tandem kayak, not the canoe as we originally thought we wanted, and the 8 mile trip. It was wonderful! The first 3 miles were the most exciting, with some easy rapids and beautiful scenery. The next 5 miles were beautiful and relaxing with occasional faster moving water. It was a terrific experience that has given a taste for more! Their location may seem out of the way, but once your finished with your trip your car is right there for you to just load up and head home. No waiting around. It was perfect. Thanks for the information and experience Wild Goose!

Chris, We are sorry you and your family had a bad experience. We try to explain the trips as well as possible on our website www.wildgoosecanoe.com and all of our brochures distributed in the area, as well as on the phone when booking your trip. It is difficult to gage the experience level of customers over the phone. It is apparent we did not do a good job on matching your family with the correct trip and for that we apologize. We run hundreds of canoes on the 8 mile trip yearly. Many are first time canoers, including Scout and Church groups. None of the outfitters provide helmets. What you saw was a group of kayakers doing their annual training class. They were outfitted with helmets, ropes, and other gear for their class. Thank you for your input. We will keep it in mind when booking others in the future, and hope to see you and your family again. Maybe for the 5 mile trip!

Nice kayak trip, took the lower end of river, first time kayaking. Greg and Darla were great to deal with. You leave your car and get shuttled to drop off point, then take river back to their ramp. Would for sure use Wild Goose if ever in area again.
