Our guide Joe was great! He took time to explain details of how we would work as a team and was also funny and full of info about the river and town itself.

This was our first rafting trip as a family. It was a really great time! Our guide, Sam, made the experience even better. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped us feel safe at all times. We accomplished our goal of not getting stuck one time, thanks to Sam's excellent guidance. Also, we definitely did more circles than any other boat on the river. 🙂 Our trip started on time and was well-organized. Everything moved like clockwork. Thank you to everyone at Mild and Wild for an excellent day! We would definitely come back and recommend them to anyone looking for a rafting adventure.

Sam is such a great part of the Mild to Wild team. We would love to share more adventures soon-and feel free to ask for Sam as your guide again! Thank you for choosing Mild to Wild and for the stellar review.

Our guide, Joe, was tremendous! We are locals, too, so we had a lot to talk about, which added to the experience. Joe clearly is extremely knowledgeable and well trained as a raft guide, which put everyone at ease. I do wish the company enforced the mask rule (La Plata County mandates masks) at their store while everyone is waiting for their trip to begin. I would guess at lease 25% of the people milling around outside were not wearing masks.

Hi Lisa, Thank you for the feedback. We are so glad you had fun with Joe. We are sorry to hear people were not wearing their masks. Saftey is our priority at Mild to Wild. We will have more staff requesting and monitoring people with mask wearing!
