We love Mild to Wild! They are consistently excellent. We have used them at least 6 years in a row. Back to back trips with Brody, Kyle and Trey. Highly recommend requesting them.

Our trip was amazing! It was a perfect River adventure. We didn’t have a ton of time in Durango, but wanted to be sure to try rafting with the kids, 10 (more cautious) and 14 (more adventurous). The economy tour was the perfect length and took us through some gentle water, as well as some exciting class 3 rapids at the end. Our guide, Abby, was phenomenal! She clearly loves what she does and it shows! Also, buy the pictures! It’s a great deal and they get some great shots! I’m so glad we did this activity and can’t wait to do it again!
