We had a great time on our half day trip and our Guide Ryker did an awesome job of making it fun, very informative about the area, safety, and we had a great time. We hit 6 states and did other excursions on our trip and this was our favorite.

This rafting adventure was part of my son’s high school graduation and it was Epic! We all loved every minute of it from the calm waters to the rapids. It’s a great ride for beginners, but still enjoyable for second timers. Our guide Destiny was the Best and did a fantastic job maneuvering through the river! A must do will in Durango :)

We kicked off our Durango vacation with Mild to Wild with a half day white water rafting trip with Joe! We all appreciated the safety tips and learned a lot to help respect the Animas River! The four of us had an amazing experience on the water enjoying the beautiful views, learning about the history of Durango, watching for wildlife, hitting some great rapids, and catching some waves! It is a day we will always remember, thank you Joe! We look forward to next time!
