We are a 🇿🇦South African 🇿🇦family of four visiting Colorado and Durango for the first time. We decided on a 1/2 day raft tour with Mild to Wild and we had a brilliant time. Bradley was our guide and she was perfect for easing us into white water rafting and taking extra special care of our two kids aged 10 and 12. We would highly recommend Mild to Wild, taking extra special care during the Covid 19 pandemic. Safety standards and corona precautions were the best that could be provided. Thanks for the amazing morning on the Animas waters in Durango! Lekker 🤘🇿🇦

We have 3 kids under the age of 8 and Liam did a great job taking us down the Animas River! The kids love it and will be an experience we never forget.
