Mild to Wild is an amazing operation. The staff and guides are professional and among the best of the best. We've taken numerous rides with them and highly recommend them for sun, water and fun on the Animas River.

Durango has so much to offer (and believe me my friends and I did it all😂), but the rafting trip down the Animas was by far my favorite experience. The scenery was breathtaking and the guides were sooo nice and knowledgable. If you’re going to Durango, I highly recommend mild to wild.

Thanks for your recommendation of Mild to Wild! And, we agree, rafting is the best way to experience Durango! Hope to see you a multiday rafting adventure next time! Those...are even better! :)

A great time for all! There is nothing like rafting in Colorado. The scenery is spectacular and really gives you a sense of awe and peace at the same time. I love rafting with Mild to Wild because of their knowledgeable and fun loving guides. They always help us choose the best trip for our group and circumstances - and we have now been with them about five or six times over the years. We're looking forward to day tripping with them again this summer. Some families go to amusement parks - we go to the river.

We couldn't agree with you more that nature's playground beats amusement parks! Thanks for being such a loyal guest to Mild to Wild. We really appreciate you, and taking the time to share your experience. Cheers!
