I thoroughly enjoyed my experience white water rafting. James was our guide and he was awesome. 100% would recommend going again. Especially with James.

Everyone in our group had a great time. We did the 3/4 day with lunch and it was definitely worth it. The wetsuites and boots were worth it. Smetler part was so fun and our guide was very nice! Thx Mild To Wild team for an experience I will always remember.

Trey was our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great stories to tell. He was the safety guide and we were put to the test when a guest from another raft fell out. Trey guided us and we were able to get him to safety. Best activity thus far on our family trip to Durango. Mild to Wild is a very well oiled machine as they all work together to make each guest have an awesome experience. A definite must do if you’re in Durango.
