Jesse was an awesome guide - very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! This was our first time rafting with nephews ages 10 and 12. All of guides had a great rapport with one another and the guests, making it a fun, exciting and a safe ride. One of the guides even rescued a guest from another company's raft tour who fell out of his raft. Recommendations for good places to eat lunch in Durango after the ride, and the jokes on the bus ride back to base -- great experience. We will be back!

Thank you so much for your review! We feel so lucky to have Jesse as a part of our team and are so glad you enjoyed his company! We also truly are safety conscious here at Mild to Wild and are thrilled to know that our guides helped get someone to safety! We can't wait to have you all back rafting with us next time around!

Fun time on the River. Just enough time for the kids to enjoy and not get tired. Our guide Kyle (KY) was great. He showed the kids an eddy to float around and got in with them, so we didn’t have to get all cold and wet, but the kids got to swim. He told us about the history of several landmarks on the river as well. I prepaid for pictures and they came out great! We got way more than expected and they were sent straight to my email. Staff was all very nice. Renting the water guns was a fun add on.

Thank you so much for writing a review for us! It is always great to hear about our guides, and we feel super lucky to have KY as a part of the Mild to Wild Family! Pictures are the best as you'll be able to hang on to those memories forever, and as we like to say... never get out on the river unarmed!
