We had a great experience with this company. Very friendly. Great customer service. Our family had a blast! Our river guide was awesome! Brendan knew all kinds of great things about Durango and the surrounding areas and kept us informed and entertained the whole time. He seemed like a genuinely sweet guy - he interacted with the adults and the kids very well, and he made it lots of fun! The rafting trip was a good time, and probably the kids' favorite part of the vacation.

We found our soul rafting with Molly's crew at Mild to Wild. Just took the trip through Durango, short but very sweet. Perfect for seniors and grand kids, any family of course. They take pictures at the most exciting rapids and worth buying because they capture perfect moments and color is terrific. They run a great operation with guides that are knowledgeable, patient, understanding and a lot of fun. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a river experience.
