What a great time rafting in Durango! James was an awesome guide, especially with a raft full of rookies! He was encouraging and fun! This will certainly be a highlight of our cross country road trip! We will be back!

This was so much fun. Our family did a week in Moab and only had one full day in Durango and boy did we pick the right thing to do. Had a group of 17 and they had no problem accommodating us. Our river guide was Robbie and he kept it fun. Thanks to these guys for making this one day so memorable. Would definitely recommend coming here

Mild to Wild always delivers a fun, safe experience. Our time on the river with delightful guide Emma brought us such joy. Being outside, choosing to jump into the cold water and laughing so hard. A hot day in Durango was no problem as we floated in our raft. Mild to Wild offers many choices for engaging the beauty of nature. We want to try the Piedras raft trip next time!
