We had a great time on the Animas River with our wonderful guide, Bella. The trip including our 3 kids, ages 10-5. Each one had a great time. The trip had big enough rapids to keep our 10 year old entertained but I always felt that the 5 year old was safe. Bella was super friendly with our kids and kept them entertained. She was knowledgeable and taught us a couple of things about the river too. Great company and trip! Next time, we will definitely do a longer trip. This was great for our first time, but left us wanting more!

1/2 day rafting trip down the lower Animas was AWESOME! Level 2 with a little level 3, great trip for kids. Alex was our guide, he was personable, funny, friendly and quick to point out interesting facts on the trip. The price was affordable as well. We were able to stop 1/2 through for a snack, water and restroom break. Thank you to all the friendly and knowledgeable staff! Kelby, Tammy and Khloe Holden!

We did a half day family raft yesterday, it was amazing! Mild to Wild has the best customer service and provided us with an amazing trip. Everyone we met there was friendly and attentive. We have to give a shout out to our guide Lucy, Lucy made our raft trip not only fun but informative. Lucy was full of knowledge about the river and sites along the way. Lucy was funny and fun my kids just adored her! Thank you Lucy, you Rock! And thank you Mild to Wild for employing such a great and knowledgeable staff!
