Great experience. Guide Richard was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and helpful. I took a teen and a pre-teen and had no issues. Everyone had a blast. Will do this again and will recommend to anyone looking for something enjoyable to do.

We opted for the “ducky” kayaks for the half day Animas River through Durango. It was an awesome trip! Our guide Bengie was amazing! He had his hands full with other Kayaker’s who were really not qualified and should have been in boats. This is NOT calm quiet water. So don’t over estimate your abilities. Mild to Wild hosted an fantastic trip for us!
