My kids first white water rafting trip, with our youngest being only 5 years old. The half day Animas trip was perfect! Ryker was a great guide, and he made sure we had fun but also kept us safe. There were spots to get out and play in the river, the rapids were great, and my kids loved playing with the optional squirt guns. It was a highlight on our family road trip for the summer. We would absolutely return and use Mild To Wild for our family adventure again. Thanks!

Hayden C. was an awesome guide! He was full of history of the area and he helped us keep our friends on another boat soaked!

Our guide Dillon made our trip. From the history lesson he gave us regarding the local scenery, to the first class instruction he employed in all of us. Dillon was the stuff that made our float the bomb! Mild and Wild is one the area's oldest tour companies and it shows. Their experience with the entire process allows for an amazing time! From expedited check in, to sizing up your team, Mild and Wild run a first class act!
