We drove up to Durango from Santa Fe to get away for a few days and decided to go river rafting. We searched for options online and "Mild to Wild" was one of about two or three companies that came up right away. The guy who helped me book our lodge recommended Mild to Wild above the other ones and even said that we would get a ten percent discount for being guests of where we were staying. When I called to book our activity, the Lady helping me said she was unaware of any such discount, but that wasn't a big deal because I found the regular prices to be perfectly reasonable. I had never been rafting before and didn't know what to expect, so I decided to go with the short-duration economy package (which is about an hour and a half on the water). In hindsight, I wish I would have booked the longer trip because we had a wonderful time. Our guide, Alex, was fantastic. I give the experience a solid five stars and would recommend Mild to Wild to anyone looking to have a great time on the river.

Kids had a blast on the river. Alex, our guide, was great. Would definitely go river rafting with these guys again.
